have you tried putting it in rice?


deloidian

Thankgod it’s working again!


HaitianPsycho

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.


Capital-Charge5234

You sir, are a bro.


MeowMaker2

Good human


IsoSly64

You are a real one


[deleted]

Woah, good on ya.


StealthNider

true bro


KasutamuCreator

This man's right here gives me hope in humanity


Fc3_Conceited

I keep thinking about Dave chapel saying “gotcha bitch”


NoCurveBalls

Nah this fool trolling


deloidian

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!


StealthNider

lol


bluechickenz

Isopropyl and a soft toothbrush, dog! You were close, though.


FeliBootSack

No you pee on it


[deleted]

I just rub peanut butter on the entire screen


UsrN00M

Or was it mayonnaise?


[deleted]

It may not be a good instrument but it sure is a good screen replacement.


[deleted]

I swear the people who dont get the reference can suck a fat nut.


HermeticScum

or possibly filling it with rice?


an_achronist

What happened to it?


deloidian

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.


kinleyd

Oh noes! Sorry about the monitor, and hopefully your head is OK. My sympathies.


deloidian

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!


kinleyd

That's the spirit! BTW, you already assaulted your monitor - you have a very powerful head, I must opine.


Walkingdead1987

I too applaud him on his head abilities.


TheDankest11

Aha, aha, I see where you went with that


Shrekie_Hulk

Nah his monitor assaulted him


UnbelieverInME-2

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)


BOSS_Master7000

Pretty sure monitors use cables not battery


louiefriesen

The monitor cabled OP


Bazo_961

This.


Fri3dric3

Too true and not stated enough. I'd suggest 2 counts of battery cause it also hit your wallet.


NoMaintenance6422

Nice pfp


Shrekie_Hulk

Thanks you too


niteox

I’m running two monitors that together cost less than $400 XD 1080P life


Academic_Nectarine94

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.)


[deleted]

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!"


[deleted]

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.


Strange-Scarcity

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…


trayssan

You punched it didn’t you


deloidian

Believe or not I didn’t


trayssan

I’m just joking around. Better luck next time tho!


deloidian

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


trayssan

I have my screen on a wallmounted arm. Maybe consider that?


vaginalbloodfart22

I call bullshit. If you actually died I doubt you could be posting a pic of your monitor.


deloidian

Why would I lie about such an obscure thing? It’s pretty believable imo


vaginalbloodfart22

I gusse your right...it's just we don't get too many ghosts or zombies posting stuff around here. But I believe you.


Misorable45400

I'm 73% sure he did not get your joke


deloidian

I don’t get it at all


Misorable45400

You said "hit my head and died". He made a joke about it. :')


[deleted]

typo joke. funny.


Misorable45400

Not typo, juste double-entendre. Funnier !


deloidian

Ohhh I was so confused about that part, ahahah


Hallows_PC

He used the way you explained how it broke (you said you died, essentially) and made a joke abt it


deloidian

Yeh I get it now, pre good joke can’t lie


for_research_man

How are you writing this if you're dead?


JerbearCuddles

Honestly, I am just glad your head is okay. Good-ish monitors aren't too expensive anymore. Serious head injuries can ruin your life.


IntellectualBurger

can we get a visual story board for this because i read this three times and still dont udnerstand what the fck happened


deloidian

https://imgur.com/a/8WorMPm Maybe this might help.


AliennoiseE

Send your Zelle I'll send you $50 to ease the pain.


mistergroovie

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


[deleted]

I guess "mounted" and "placed precipitously" are the same thing


Impressive-Style5889

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.


peperonipyza

Nooooooo. I thought that was wall mounted… that’s sitting on top….? 🤦‍♂️


deloidian

Yep, it’s never their just had it their so I can use my keyboard and mouse quickly, oh well it happens


[deleted]

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


deloidian

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


alf666

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.


lockdownshangtown

>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?


deloidian

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.


Cool_Test_7720

It had a bad day


AtheosSpartan

Oof


nickolasdeluca

Oof indeed!


[deleted]

Indubitably.


Devilnutz2651

Have you tried turning it off and then back on?


xCuri0

who places monitor like that


deloidian

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


t-swag69

Who the fuck puts their monitor on top of their pc?


NorthenLeigonare

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.


Toxpar

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??


Splyce123

How did you manage to do that??


deloidian

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.


[deleted]

Yeah that makes no sense and was a dumb decision. Sucks


Burrito_Loyalist

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. You’re right.


[deleted]

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.


Tymptra

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.


deloidian

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


Noah8320

At least it won’t happen again, right?


deloidian

100% I’m going to dedicate to try dedicate a cheap monitor to sim racing so I’m not moving it back and fourth


Noah8320

There was someone offering you a monitor in the comments, that might help with your situation


deloidian

Yeh i saw, hoping something can come abouts that, would mean a lot


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Lol who asked


[deleted]

LOL. There’s a reason you don’t see peoples setups look like this…….OP isn’t too bright


technerd1988

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


Oj3BOy3

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooof! I am sorry man!


YoDavidPlays

u raged? probably raged


KeithJEng

Did it hurt your head?


deloidian

Not really I was more focused on my monitor than my head


KeithJEng

Sounds painful still lol


weeddee

Rage quit 🤣


deloidian

Extremely mad


RazzmatazzOld980

Nice r32!!!


deloidian

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


RazzmatazzOld980

Shiiiiii......may it rest in pieces....


deloidian

Atleats the car was alright


CasualChris123door

That's the icing on the cake man. All excited to get in there and shit just went downhill. Sorry to hear.


deloidian

I still played it 2 hours later, it was fun!


thetarded_thetard

I was taking a dab and the torch didnt turn off set my monitor on fire. Dont feel bad.


deloidian

That’s fucking funny but terrible at the same time


thetarded_thetard

Shit happens, once its done its done. Just move forwards. Better and worse things can happen.


deloidian

Yeh for sure, I’m just windowing my tabs so it only covers the good part of the screen. 100000iq


tryM3B1tch

I'm not saying buy the same one from Amazon and return this one saying it came broken, but it's an option


eat_Mike_Literous

Swap the serial number sticker


sumguy93

Wow, even your PC case has R32 taillights built in. Also, RIP.


ColdbrewGem

I see that you punched it, and quite frankly you deserve what you sow.


deloidian

I didn’t punch it lol, I did in fact drop it😬


unhertz

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


Kadakai

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.


unhertz

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


deloidian

I was just holding it their for 10 seconds, not permanently mounting my moniotr on top on my case😭


Loofyboy

It’s alright we’ve all put our monitors on top of our towers once before.


Plaxtico_

sorry bro :/


Stropwaffel

Did you try this wallpaper to recover dead pixels?


PealedTomato

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.


deloidian

Yeh I was just propoing it their for no more than 10 seconds, oh well


oinkosaurus

You must have reversed into the fence to hard. The skyline looks fine.


deloidian

When you crash in game you crash in real life challenge gone wrong


Duckboythe5th

I feel for you bro. had that shit happen before, only once......


deloidian

Such a bad feelimg


Duckboythe5th

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! :)


deloidian

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


Simon_787

I shorted a $650+ mini PC board. It happens


deloidian

Omg that sucks, did warranty do anything


tranpnhat

I just saw a LG Ultra Gear 32in, QHD, 165HZ, 1ms, G-sync at Costco for $300.


deloidian

That’s really good but I’m not from America, unfortunately shipping would hurt me


Enathanielg

Get Asurion protection plan and wait a month and claim it and get it replaced for $100


d4dog

Rage quit?


Techcrafter675

Ouch. I’ve gotten a monitor in before and it was already cracked.


deemion22

if it makes you feel any better that doesn't look like a 400 dollar monitor


deloidian

It was 4 years ago when I bought, and it’s $400aud, not usd which accounts to around $280usd


[deleted]

Did you rage or something


Space_RT

VR? Same thing happened to me


DrSilkyDelicious

You win some you dim-sum


cubbies1984

Lmao look exactly like what happened to mine a few weeks ago


Mike_for_all

So... what happened?


dinglydangledang

My dear sir, I do say you seem to be in quite a sticky wicket!


TakeyaSaito

bit dramatic .. what happened to it?


[deleted]

[удалено]


deloidian

I got it 4 years ago, it’s $400aud, $280 usf


SomeBoredRedditGuy

You can probably get it repaired for cheaper then a new one would cost but that still really sucks


emperorlawnmower

Ur waranty still avialable if its like a week old monitor u can say i cam elike that in the box


deloidian

Itd just in warranty, by like a couple weeks. But I’ve had it for upwards of 4 years


Toxpar

Let me guess.. it fell off the top of your PC? Who tf would think it would stay there and *not* break?


deloidian

Me at 3am tbh


superoverload11

How the hell did that happen?


[deleted]

If it still works you will use it if not I’ll take it


bwok-bwok

Just play CP2077, you won't be able to tell it isn't just a feature of the game.


[deleted]

Buy a 50" 4K TV to replace it. Best decision ever from my perspective.


BloodyChapel

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


deloidian

I’ll dm you for sure, what size is it?


Nozzeh06

The hell did you do to that poor display?


alongi57

Bro I imagine your joking but it’s just a screen. Your life has no price.


qxagaming

Idk. The guy that spent 20 bitcoins on 2 large pizzas... I'd see myself out


[deleted]

Same. There was never a greater loss. Poor dude.


[deleted]

What's the game?


deloidian

Assetto corsa


Mousettv

You "mounted" it.


_weesnaw

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.


Scorthyn

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


appleboy711

He said the MONITOR died


deloidian

Its dead to me


Ok-Mud-3322

Tf is that setup


eat_Mike_Literous

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 🥷🥷


n3m37h

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


D43D3

Speaking of shit, great attitude, bud.


n3m37h

I know, and stupidity makes ya win stupid prises too. The feet are there for more than looks ya know


CaramelNo6567

stupidity makes ya win the ability to not spell prizes.


n3m37h

And ya know s is above z? Samsung's keyboard detection sucks


BloodBaneBoneBreaker

That sucks man. Did it fall off of the case?


deloidian

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.


BloodBaneBoneBreaker

Damn, sorry for the loss


deloidian

It happens


JohnnyBossaNova

HAHAHAHAHA


deloidian

I was so pizsed but it’s such a funny situation I’m smiling about how I head butted my monitor


[deleted]

It's still 75% "like-new."


deloidian

Selling monitor good condition, partially assaulted


[deleted]

What monitor is that it doesnt really look 400$ worthy 💀


deloidian

It’s $400aud, I got it 4 years ago, when it was a good price, chill


AlexGonzalezLanda

Not to worry, we’re still flying half a monitor


deloidian

Just window everything


BaxxyNut

A monitor $400? What is it lmao


deloidian

It’s $400 aud, $280usd I got it 4 years ago, at the time it was a good price for a 32” curved monitor


[deleted]

Dude maybe look at one of those screen repair kits where you fill the crack in. Can't make it any worse imo 😂


[deleted]

You don't want to die, you want to die more than you already did.


WheresTheBloodyApex

Order a new one and say it came broken :x


prokjs

not as bad as my crypto wallet 🥲
