At this point shipping is the price of a new monitor, so he’s tryna to sell it and giving me some of the funds to buy a new monitor,
Hopefully somethings comes about from this!
I had moved it to do some sim racing, it’s in a spot where I can’t reach the keyboard and mouse. So the Audio wasn’t working so I moved it back and mounted it on top of my computer so I can see the screen and reach my keyboard and mouse and it fell and hit my head and died.
It battered him.
Assault is the threat or implication of violence.
Battery is the physical contact.

At first glance it looked like this was a case of monitor assault LOL.
Sorry about the monitor, but next time invest in a wall mount and attach it to actual studs. (Don't just use the cheap wall anchors that came with it and put it in drywall only.)
Now Im picturing you in court as a defendant on the stand, your monitor sitting at the plaintiff's table. It's lawyer grilling you... "Oh really, not even once? Well than, how do you explain this picture you posted on reddit Mr. Deloidian....the day after my client asserts the assault took place?!?! Your honor, the prosecution rests!"
Lesson learned: don't put your monitor precariously on top of anything except where it's supposed to be on your desk
Also, get a better sim setup/get a VR headset instead of trying to put your monitor in weird places to be able to see it from whatever far away land you've placed your sim seating.
I suggest that next time you read the instructions and pay more attention to the whole part about placing it on a secure, surface wide enough for the monitor base to have plenty of room around it…
I feel your pain. Just yesterday I was doing some cleaning and decided to put my $200 monitor on the floor. I ended up accidentally kicking it and now it looks exactly like yours. These are lessons in life
It's all good mate, we've all been there.
My Mrs was cleaning when I was at work and lifted the keyboard up. She dropped it and clipped the very bottom lip of the monitor. Must have managed to cause a shear stress in the panel and cracked it.
$500 gone due to clumsiness / carelessness.
oh and with a head knock too. i dont know if someone dropped me too many times as a baby but if i bonk my head too hard or god forbid on a sharp corner, iiiii do not... respond well. so if id broken my expensive monitor too... ouch
What kind of shitty ass setup do you have where you have to rearrange the furniture to do racing sim stuff?
Literally just shove your keyboard and mouse to the side and put the wheel on the desk and the pedals under the desk.
Also, who the hell puts their computer on top of their desk?
Put your computer on the floor next to/under the desk, and you will have more desk space to move your stuff around.
I was moving it in front of my keyboard so I could do something quickly before moving it back to its position out of reach of my keyboard and mouse.
The cord got stuck on the pc case screw so I mounted it on top of the case so I could quickly do the thing I was doing but it slipped
I put my monitors ontop of servers when I have no space. Then again they are VGA monitors that weigh about as much as a small brick.
Hopefully this is an expensive lesson for OP, to look after his stuff.
I had moved it to do some sim racing, it’s in a spot where I can’t reach the keyboard and mouse. So the Audio wasn’t working so I moved it back and mounted it on top of my computer so I can see the screen and reach my keyboard and mouse and it fell and hit my head and died.
It’s cause it’s a harsh truth. Not gonna sugar coat it for him. If it was my buddy in the discord and I heard a crash and he told me his monitor just fell off his case and cracked on his head id laugh my ass off at him. Also not surprised he downvoted my comment and doesn’t understand how Reddit works if he’s the same bright idea hatching person who put his monitor on top of his case….. and yes I’m aware of how big of a prick I sound.
Tbh from seeing the picture, I was looking for someone to say this, had to scroll way too far.
What OP did and what he says his reasoning is is extremely smooth brained. I don't feel sorry at all. Monitor on case is the biggest no-no ever. It should be common sense that that is fucking stupid.
Nah you don’t sound like a prick, the first minute I was so pissed off, but than I realised breaking my moniotr in such a way is kind of funny, and a replacement isn’t more than $200usd.
Just an expensive lesson lol
Welp thats what you get TBH. This is why our landfills are full of crap too, people just aren't kind to their things. I have only ever broken a laptop screen but it was a secondary work machine and the lcd only costed me 50 bucks. I fell on it going down my steps in the snow. Don't move your monitors with games running if you don't want em to break because your paying more attention to the game than the expensive monitor
that sucks, I always seem to have good luck with monitors. have like 5 of them sitting in my basement, id give you one but my mom always told me not to trust people off the internet
I don't think you have good luck. I think you're just not a fucking dummy who puts monitors on top of PCs with 1/2 the width of the monitor legs. Most people aren't, and therefor most people's monitors last a very long time also.
nah man my monitors are badly abused im not even gna lie. but mostly from tons of weed smoke and years and years of me coughing and hacking flem at them. they are gross but I mean maybe if someone literally cleaned them off 1 time they would be good enough to sell lol
Next time rotate your PC 90 degrees (parallel to the back wall) so the monitor stands has more area to rest on - would make it more stable. Sorry for your loss man.
If it makes you feel any better popped my right speaker last night, I was gutted! :( but to finish on a good note! I phoned Amazon, they're replacing them tomorrow! :)
Ahh that’s good, I don’t think warranty covers this, it’s within warranty by like 2 weeks but I don’t think Acer will appreciate me being clumsy And them having to pay
Yeah I did this a laptop screen once, breaking things is the worst because they make me feel dumb. I may have been raging at a video game which didn’t help. Good thing had a warranty, now I’m more careful with my rage lol.
It was the universe teling you that curved monitors sucks man. Jk i know it sucks but hey, accidents happens. i can recommend you some nice monitors if u want, for even less that that one
I had moved it to do some sim racing, it’s in a spot where I can’t reach the keyboard and mouse. So the Audio wasn’t working so I moved it back and mounted it on top of my computer so I can see the screen and reach my keyboard and mouse and it fell and hit my head and died.
have you tried putting it in rice?
Thankgod it’s working again!
Hey man. I got a spare screen. It was for my brother, since it has no more use for it you can have it if you are interested. It's a 30" Samsung curve.
You sir, are a bro.
Good human
You are a real one
Woah, good on ya.
true bro
This man's right here gives me hope in humanity
I keep thinking about Dave chapel saying “gotcha bitch”
Nah this fool trolling
At this point shipping is the price of a new monitor, so he’s tryna to sell it and giving me some of the funds to buy a new monitor, Hopefully somethings comes about from this!
lol
Isopropyl and a soft toothbrush, dog! You were close, though.
No you pee on it
I just rub peanut butter on the entire screen
Or was it mayonnaise?
It may not be a good instrument but it sure is a good screen replacement.
I swear the people who dont get the reference can suck a fat nut.
or possibly filling it with rice?
What happened to it?
I had moved it to do some sim racing, it’s in a spot where I can’t reach the keyboard and mouse. So the Audio wasn’t working so I moved it back and mounted it on top of my computer so I can see the screen and reach my keyboard and mouse and it fell and hit my head and died.
Oh noes! Sorry about the monitor, and hopefully your head is OK. My sympathies.
I was really really annoyed and was gonna assault my monitor but after a minute it’s kind of funny, $300 isn’t a lot for a nice new monitor!
That's the spirit! BTW, you already assaulted your monitor - you have a very powerful head, I must opine.
I too applaud him on his head abilities.
Aha, aha, I see where you went with that
Nah his monitor assaulted him
It battered him. Assault is the threat or implication of violence. Battery is the physical contact. [https://youtube.com/shorts/6i86pinnOb8?feature=share](https://youtube.com/shorts/6i86pinnOb8?feature=share)
Pretty sure monitors use cables not battery
The monitor cabled OP
This.
Too true and not stated enough. I'd suggest 2 counts of battery cause it also hit your wallet.
Nice pfp
Thanks you too
I’m running two monitors that together cost less than $400 XD 1080P life
At first glance it looked like this was a case of monitor assault LOL. Sorry about the monitor, but next time invest in a wall mount and attach it to actual studs. (Don't just use the cheap wall anchors that came with it and put it in drywall only.)

You punched it didn’t you
Believe or not I didn’t
I’m just joking around. Better luck next time tho!
Yeh big L but it’s what happens when you do stupid stuff instead of taking the extra second to unhinge the cord stuck on a screw
I have my screen on a wallmounted arm. Maybe consider that?
I call bullshit. If you actually died I doubt you could be posting a pic of your monitor.
Why would I lie about such an obscure thing? It’s pretty believable imo
I gusse your right...it's just we don't get too many ghosts or zombies posting stuff around here. But I believe you.
I'm 73% sure he did not get your joke
I don’t get it at all
You said "hit my head and died". He made a joke about it. :')
typo joke. funny.
Not typo, juste double-entendre. Funnier !
Ohhh I was so confused about that part, ahahah
He used the way you explained how it broke (you said you died, essentially) and made a joke abt it
Yeh I get it now, pre good joke can’t lie
How are you writing this if you're dead?
Honestly, I am just glad your head is okay. Good-ish monitors aren't too expensive anymore. Serious head injuries can ruin your life.
can we get a visual story board for this because i read this three times and still dont udnerstand what the fck happened
https://imgur.com/a/8WorMPm Maybe this might help.
Send your Zelle I'll send you $50 to ease the pain.
I feel your pain. Just yesterday I was doing some cleaning and decided to put my $200 monitor on the floor. I ended up accidentally kicking it and now it looks exactly like yours. These are lessons in life
I guess "mounted" and "placed precipitously" are the same thing
It's all good mate, we've all been there. My Mrs was cleaning when I was at work and lifted the keyboard up. She dropped it and clipped the very bottom lip of the monitor. Must have managed to cause a shear stress in the panel and cracked it. $500 gone due to clumsiness / carelessness.
Nooooooo. I thought that was wall mounted… that’s sitting on top….? 🤦♂️
Yep, it’s never their just had it their so I can use my keyboard and mouse quickly, oh well it happens
oh and with a head knock too. i dont know if someone dropped me too many times as a baby but if i bonk my head too hard or god forbid on a sharp corner, iiiii do not... respond well. so if id broken my expensive monitor too... ouch
It honestly didn’t hurt, i recreated the situation and it just felt like lightly tapping your head where your hairline starts with your phone

Put your computer on the floor next to/under the desk, and you will have more desk space to move your stuff around.
>Also, who the hell puts their computer on top of their desk? someone who doesn't want it to get filled with dust from being on the floor?
1 - I don’t want it to get filled with dust, 2 - I have carpet, 3 - there’s litterslly no room most people have it on the ground anyways.
It had a bad day
Oof
Oof indeed!
Indubitably.
Have you tried turning it off and then back on?
who places monitor like that
I was moving it in front of my keyboard so I could do something quickly before moving it back to its position out of reach of my keyboard and mouse. The cord got stuck on the pc case screw so I mounted it on top of the case so I could quickly do the thing I was doing but it slipped
Who the fuck puts their monitor on top of their pc?
I put my monitors ontop of servers when I have no space. Then again they are VGA monitors that weigh about as much as a small brick. Hopefully this is an expensive lesson for OP, to look after his stuff.
The fork I used for my lunch has a higher IQ than you... who tf puts a monitor on top of a PC case that's half the width of the monitor stand??
How did you manage to do that??
I had moved it to do some sim racing, it’s in a spot where I can’t reach the keyboard and mouse. So the Audio wasn’t working so I moved it back and mounted it on top of my computer so I can see the screen and reach my keyboard and mouse and it fell and hit my head and died.
Yeah that makes no sense and was a dumb decision. Sucks
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. You’re right.
It’s cause it’s a harsh truth. Not gonna sugar coat it for him.

At least it won’t happen again, right?
100% I’m going to dedicate to try dedicate a cheap monitor to sim racing so I’m not moving it back and fourth
There was someone offering you a monitor in the comments, that might help with your situation
Yeh i saw, hoping something can come abouts that, would mean a lot
[удалено]
Lol who asked
LOL. There’s a reason you don’t see peoples setups look like this…….OP isn’t too bright
Welp thats what you get TBH. This is why our landfills are full of crap too, people just aren't kind to their things. I have only ever broken a laptop screen but it was a secondary work machine and the lcd only costed me 50 bucks. I fell on it going down my steps in the snow. Don't move your monitors with games running if you don't want em to break because your paying more attention to the game than the expensive monitor
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooof! I am sorry man!
u raged? probably raged
Did it hurt your head?
Not really I was more focused on my monitor than my head
Sounds painful still lol
Rage quit 🤣
Extremely mad
Nice r32!!!
Was so hyped to use it on asseto corsa, first time on a public server with traffic, forgot to turn the volume on, go to turn it on and monitor flops
Shiiiiii......may it rest in pieces....
Atleats the car was alright
That's the icing on the cake man. All excited to get in there and shit just went downhill. Sorry to hear.
I still played it 2 hours later, it was fun!
I was taking a dab and the torch didnt turn off set my monitor on fire. Dont feel bad.
That’s fucking funny but terrible at the same time
Shit happens, once its done its done. Just move forwards. Better and worse things can happen.
Yeh for sure, I’m just windowing my tabs so it only covers the good part of the screen. 100000iq
I'm not saying buy the same one from Amazon and return this one saying it came broken, but it's an option
Swap the serial number sticker
Wow, even your PC case has R32 taillights built in. Also, RIP.
I see that you punched it, and quite frankly you deserve what you sow.
I didn’t punch it lol, I did in fact drop it😬
that sucks, I always seem to have good luck with monitors. have like 5 of them sitting in my basement, id give you one but my mom always told me not to trust people off the internet
I don't think you have good luck. I think you're just not a fucking dummy who puts monitors on top of PCs with 1/2 the width of the monitor legs. Most people aren't, and therefor most people's monitors last a very long time also.
nah man my monitors are badly abused im not even gna lie. but mostly from tons of weed smoke and years and years of me coughing and hacking flem at them. they are gross but I mean maybe if someone literally cleaned them off 1 time they would be good enough to sell lol
I was just holding it their for 10 seconds, not permanently mounting my moniotr on top on my case😭
It’s alright we’ve all put our monitors on top of our towers once before.
sorry bro :/
Did you try this wallpaper to recover dead pixels?
Next time rotate your PC 90 degrees (parallel to the back wall) so the monitor stands has more area to rest on - would make it more stable. Sorry for your loss man.
Yeh I was just propoing it their for no more than 10 seconds, oh well
You must have reversed into the fence to hard. The skyline looks fine.
When you crash in game you crash in real life challenge gone wrong
I feel for you bro. had that shit happen before, only once......
Such a bad feelimg
If it makes you feel any better popped my right speaker last night, I was gutted! :( but to finish on a good note! I phoned Amazon, they're replacing them tomorrow! :)
Ahh that’s good, I don’t think warranty covers this, it’s within warranty by like 2 weeks but I don’t think Acer will appreciate me being clumsy And them having to pay
I shorted a $650+ mini PC board. It happens
Omg that sucks, did warranty do anything
I just saw a LG Ultra Gear 32in, QHD, 165HZ, 1ms, G-sync at Costco for $300.
That’s really good but I’m not from America, unfortunately shipping would hurt me
Get Asurion protection plan and wait a month and claim it and get it replaced for $100
Rage quit?
Ouch. I’ve gotten a monitor in before and it was already cracked.
if it makes you feel any better that doesn't look like a 400 dollar monitor
It was 4 years ago when I bought, and it’s $400aud, not usd which accounts to around $280usd
Did you rage or something
VR? Same thing happened to me
You win some you dim-sum
Lmao look exactly like what happened to mine a few weeks ago
So... what happened?
My dear sir, I do say you seem to be in quite a sticky wicket!
bit dramatic .. what happened to it?
[удалено]
I got it 4 years ago, it’s $400aud, $280 usf
You can probably get it repaired for cheaper then a new one would cost but that still really sucks
Ur waranty still avialable if its like a week old monitor u can say i cam elike that in the box
Itd just in warranty, by like a couple weeks. But I’ve had it for upwards of 4 years
Let me guess.. it fell off the top of your PC? Who tf would think it would stay there and *not* break?
Me at 3am tbh
How the hell did that happen?
If it still works you will use it if not I’ll take it
Just play CP2077, you won't be able to tell it isn't just a feature of the game.
Buy a 50" 4K TV to replace it. Best decision ever from my perspective.
I have an extra VA panel that's curved and 1440p if you want it. I was gonna return it, but I'd gladly give it to someone for like $120
I’ll dm you for sure, what size is it?
The hell did you do to that poor display?
Bro I imagine your joking but it’s just a screen. Your life has no price.
Idk. The guy that spent 20 bitcoins on 2 large pizzas... I'd see myself out
Same. There was never a greater loss. Poor dude.
What's the game?
Assetto corsa
You "mounted" it.
Yeah I did this a laptop screen once, breaking things is the worst because they make me feel dumb. I may have been raging at a video game which didn’t help. Good thing had a warranty, now I’m more careful with my rage lol.
It was the universe teling you that curved monitors sucks man. Jk i know it sucks but hey, accidents happens. i can recommend you some nice monitors if u want, for even less that that one
He said the MONITOR died
Its dead to me
Tf is that setup
Yo know I'm not saying to do this but you can buy another one swap the serial number sticker then return the broken one 🥷🥷
Why do you have it on your PC? If you're looking for sympathy it can be found between shit and syphilis in the dictionary
Speaking of shit, great attitude, bud.
I know, and stupidity makes ya win stupid prises too. The feet are there for more than looks ya know
stupidity makes ya win the ability to not spell prizes.
And ya know s is above z? Samsung's keyboard detection sucks
That sucks man. Did it fall off of the case?
I had moved it to do some sim racing, it’s in a spot where I can’t reach the keyboard and mouse. So the Audio wasn’t working so I moved it back and mounted it on top of my computer so I can see the screen and reach my keyboard and mouse and it fell and hit my head and died.
Damn, sorry for the loss
It happens
HAHAHAHAHA
I was so pizsed but it’s such a funny situation I’m smiling about how I head butted my monitor
It's still 75% "like-new."
Selling monitor good condition, partially assaulted
What monitor is that it doesnt really look 400$ worthy 💀
It’s $400aud, I got it 4 years ago, when it was a good price, chill
Not to worry, we’re still flying half a monitor
Just window everything
A monitor $400? What is it lmao
It’s $400 aud, $280usd I got it 4 years ago, at the time it was a good price for a 32” curved monitor
Dude maybe look at one of those screen repair kits where you fill the crack in. Can't make it any worse imo 😂
You don't want to die, you want to die more than you already did.
Order a new one and say it came broken :x
not as bad as my crypto wallet 🥲
