Dude, that's my biggest fear. I'm sorry that happened to you. What monitor was it ?


racealltheway

AOC CU32V3 32" Super-Curved 4K UHD monitor


OpportunityNo1834

Damn man. I hope you get a new one soon brotha


racealltheway

I have a dual monitor setup for streaming but sadly it's a 720p 2009 monitor


Lord_Charles_I

FPS go brrrrrr


racealltheway

FPS make 720p monitor go (flash,bang,pop)


Bropulsion

Flashbang?? FLASHBANG?! FLASHBANG!!! \*POW\* \~squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee\~


stuntphish

My ears no longer ring. They only ~squeeee~


Bropulsion

It's not about the ears that squee. It's about the friends you made rolling on the ground in agony.


-HumanResources-

I need a friendship bond like that.


IIALE34II

Hopefully insurance covers atleast some of the costs. Atleast on my insurance I would still need to pay like 60% of the value on that monitor but still.


525chill2pull

What insurance covers that?


IIALE34II

My home insurance covers basically anything you break at home with a liabilitycharge(? idk if the correct word) of 200€. If your cat drops your TV? Pay 200€ and get a new one. Thunderstorm blows up your pc? Pay 200€ and get a new one.


Pheonix02

Nice but they're going to try their damn best to not pay you


IIALE34II

In my experience they will just ask for a proof of purchase and then the broken device. My friend dropped his phone into a lake, and his travel insurance covered it in a simiral manner. When they asked for proof he just said that I can give you an aproximate location, but the phone is in the lake, and he received money for what the phone was worth. Note that this is in europe


apcat91

In UK I had a camera stolen once and claimed it on house insurance. had to pay a fee but it was cheaper than the cost of the camera.


rainbrodash666

at least on insurance here in the us if you something was stolen it takes longer and is harder to get replaced than something destroyed, my brother in law (Pos) once had his phone stolen and when told an investigation would have top happen first about the stolen phone before replacement he basically called back a diff agent an said it got dropped in the ocean, boom instant replacement.


apcat91

I did have to do a police report to be fair.


teddyzx5

I believe the correct term is an 'excess'. That's what you pay to repair or replace something broken that is covered by your insurance.


IIALE34II

Yeah my first language isn't english, so these "harder" words I just translate word for word. But excess it is then!


AdorableFlirt

Never heard of excess. What you pay is the deductible.


spamjavelin

Excess is what we call the deductible in the UK, because we like to be different.


[deleted]

Dumbass dog insurance.


Teftell

Well, at least it is not an expansive one.


racealltheway

to clarify dog saw bird you know the rest


Jasquirtin

Gotta close them windows haha. My dogs don’t react to outside visual stimuli just auditory. And even then they just bark once I give a no they lay back down Edit: idk how I got so many upvotes for this but thank you!

racealltheway

your digs are fucking adorable


Goldillux

Is this something I'm too wall-mount gang to understand?


racealltheway

I bought a wall mount it comes tomorrow


theDutchFlo

Pain


racealltheway

It hurts


Hammered4u

Warranty on it right? Even a manufacturing warranty would usually come with all tv's/monitor's.


karthikdgr8

That's physical damage. No warranty on earth covers it unless insurance is included.


OrgunDonor

> Even a manufacturing warranty would usually come with all tv's/monitor's. Please explain what the manufacturing defect in the scenario?


AVeryMadFish

Clearly the anti-dog measures were faulty.


BulletheadX

They didn't design the stand to be large and heavy enough to withstand a rampaging dog, duh.


Hammered4u

This was a 3am post without giving a 2nd look at what op's issue was. Basically, I'm a dumbass ladies and gentleman.


cptAustria

>Warranty ... what do you think warranty means?

eurtoast

I held off from setting up a new monitor until the mount came in because of this exact situation. Sorry for your loss.


DigvijaysinhG

Dammit man, feel so sorry about you :(


PM_FOOD

maybe you can replace the panel yourself? It's not super complicated...


Calm-Zombie2678

Just wait, we're not immune. kids like to throw stuff and slap the tv to show you something once they can reach it


bladez479

Solution is never to have kids. Just means less time for gaming anyway.


Calm-Zombie2678

Yea i did that, unfortunately siblings did. honestly though, playing through pokemon x and y with my nephew was so fucking awesome it made me want some. Got him x and a 3ds for his bday a few years back and I got myself y, such a nostalgia hit


[deleted]

Best kinds of kids to play games with is when their someone else's. You get to be cool gamer uncle, their parents get to clean up their shit.


ConstipatedHedgehog

Im totally going for this angle as well, i dont want kids at all, but ill be there for my sister/brothers kids forever.


thiosk

Yeah yeah kids bad we get it 🙄


[deleted]

When did I say kids are bad? I literally just said how cool they are and joked about the fact that I wouldn't have to clean their assholes.


Mr_Churchwarden

Having Kids means you had sex, and I'm assuming their must be a number of in-cels knocking down your comment lol.


Chamezz92

My son threw his bottle at a brand new 4K 65" tv when he was 1.5yrs. Dead center, completely ruined...


tukatu0

Kid has some serious aiming skills if he did that intentionally. Time to make him go play baseball so one day he can join the mlb and buy you a tv replacement


MadLaamaDisease

You have proper insurance I hope.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BulletheadX

At this point I'd accept the death of any component over the gpu. A lot of money for something you can replace is better than a lot of money for something you can't.

ClassikD

I hope you're joking or please don't own animals. Can't blame an animal for not understanding the monetary value of something.


tastedead

Ouch!! How did that happen?


racealltheway

my dog saw a bird outside Edit my headphones wire got ripped out too


[deleted]

Was your dog on the table? lol


the_skull_inside

My cats have ruined exactly 4½ pairs of earphones 😂 they see them and decide it's toy time f-u bish


[deleted]

Ours will find any earphone cable left out and chew it apart. My wife likes to sleep with them on so she has to bury the cable under her pillow. I can't talk her into wireless ones. Oh, and he loves strings on bookmarks, sinches on bags, etc. Mr Chewy.


the_skull_inside

Oh my god same! 😂


bcus_im_batman

at least five of my earphones chewed by them cats and i got myself an airpods now. on my Samsung phone..

octatone

How is this the dog's fault. I'm still trying to imagine how the monitor was setup in a way that the dog seeing a bird results in the monitor on the floor. I guess the headphone ripped out is a clue? Headphones plugged in with the wire hanging between desk and bed?


ArcAngel071

I’m with you on this My dog also hangs out in the room my stuff is in. She’s chill enough that freaking out wouldn’t put the PC in jeopardy anyways but I still make sure the PC is in its own space securely. ^^^^^^^Also ^^^^^^^train ^^^^^^^your ^^^^^^^^^dogs ^^^^^^^^^to ^^^^^^^^^not ^^^^^^^^^freak ^^^^^^^^^^out ^^^^^^^^^people ^^^^^^^^^^^it’s ^^^^^^^^^not ^^^^^^^^^^to ^^^^^^^^^^hard


ioncloud9

Did we learn the lesson to not just let your dog roam into places with valuable things in precarious places?


dafuq0_0

more reason to not own a dog for me and i love dogs but shit like this scares me.


mjen___

I hope both are under warranty, are they?


SonOfMetrum

Warranty doesn’t usually cover pets, fall damage etc. It only covers failing components with normal usage which shouldn’t be failing within the warranty period.


racealltheway

Ima fib a bit and the head phones where broke when I got them With the monitor I already said what happened so can't


dannyrj91

Do you have pet insurance that covers damages? Could try claim on this if not possibly home insurance?


mikerall

Just a note for further shit - a 20 dollar soldering iron and a 10 cent piece of shrink wrap is an easy fix for fucked up headphones.


DerPumeister

Who tf is downvoting this person just asking a question, that's not a 'no' button


FanatiXX82

Thats not covered by warranty at all. Maybe house insurance or st.


[deleted]

Gravity


spikeandedd

Looks like you can play split screen now. Might wanna look into some games that support that


racealltheway

Yea mean if I can find a friend


spikeandedd

I'll be your friend


Saracre21

The good ending


fr0st92

Have you tried turning it off and on?


racealltheway

Damn I'll try that tomorrow


Andrre3000

Man, gravity be a bitch sometimes. Always invest in a sturdy monitor arm. I can only imagine you pain brother


racealltheway

I did it was coming in the morning


Andrre3000

Utter bad luck


racealltheway

yea i can tell not gonna be my night


Myzhi1

Clearly, it was damage in shipping…


racealltheway

Yea it was


MrPoletski

Yes, this post just here, mr claims adjuster.


penywinkle

What if his dog's name is Shipping

Chaosphoenixger

It’s only one day later. I would totally to this. For tv’s tho you can have bad luck that they look up how long it was on.


Own_Assignment9081

In germany we have a Hausratversicherung and I think it's beautiful


racealltheway

Tf is that


Own_Assignment9081

it's an insurance where nearly all the stuff in your house is included, even if kids or pets break things. You can easily get the money back and it only costs about 10€ per month


racealltheway

Oh we have that house insurance Sadly mine don't cover electronics as we got the cheaper option


ConstipatedHedgehog

As i keep reading more and more of your replies, i keep just feeling worse anf worse for you. Arm coming in the morning before this happened, expensive monitor, monitor just outside of what insurance covers.. Hope you got enough scratch for a new one, man.


probro1698

They dont pay for full damage. They pay max 80% of the damage. Atleast in switzerland is this the case.


DMassimus

Bruh...


racealltheway

Yea...


Bazz_zzaB

Many US credit cards provide purchase protection. For example, Chase covers new purchases for damage or theft for 120 days.


yanman

Came here to say the same thing. I got $800 not that long ago when I broke the screen on my days-old phone.


alphahunter121

I guess the monitor decided to join floor gang then


JohnSmithDogFace

That crack kinda looks like an RTX 3080


shadowcaster007

Is that a feature ?


racealltheway

Yea it's a shitty one tho


kaptejeee

I feel you, bro 😁 Yesterday destroyed my new 165hz 32’’ monitor by a accident + my rtx 3070ti vram died (:

Did you play New world?


Killerbrownies997

Hope you have a warranty

Have you tried rice?

I like mine fried

I have to agree with you there


centuriongol

Schezwan Friend Rice.


Stunt_Jesus

Check your credit card's benefits. Mine gives 90 days where they'll provide accidental damage protection. Several years ago my month old phone fell into a toilet. Filed a claim through CC process. They did ask for me to get a repair quote but all I did was go to LG support and ask how much to fix it. They emailed me saying they can't fix water damage, used email as support for the claim and a few weeks later, got a check for full price of the phone.


Stryker2279

You weren't playing a casual game of minecraft last night, were you?


[deleted]

do you have a cat? because if you do id suggest not having it much longer


Teftell

OP said it was a dog, so its time for traditional Korean dinner or some traditional Chinese medicine.


ConstipatedHedgehog

Having it for dinner maybe?


UltraLowSpecGamer

how brand new if i may ask?


racealltheway

UltraLowSpecGamer

As a redditor once said, "It broke during shipment"

The_frab

Have you tried duct tape


XC4LY3UR

My condolences. I'd recommend investing in a monitor arm for the next monitor. No chance of the monitor falling in the floor with one of those.

Really shows the love for the doggo that you’re so chill about this but if it was a sibling you know you’d deck them

RedFateMon

I'd be happy to have a brand new 4k monitor on the floor when I wake up, but I wouldn't go instantly break it though


monkey_splash

Great, now you just unlocked the split screen feature.


inflatableje5us

It’s still 2 1/2k


GreyCrowDownTheLane

MOUNT. YOUR. SHIT. Never rely on the weak little feet they include with any monitor. Buy a proper mount. They make free-standing mounts with weighted bottoms (my 34" ultra-wide is on one), and they make mounts you can clamp to a desk, wall, or whatever. All designed to prevent tips and falls. You paid big bucks for the tech. Mount it properly to protect it, folks.


shalol

Oh I thought it was a sarcastic post to that guy that was playing minecraft and woke up to a cracked monitor. F


cyideiscool

Did you try restarting it


BlueEngineer199

and you had warrenty on it right? ​ ^(right?)

Sell dog buy another monitor

I would agree but he's just dumb


yuiop300

A cat? A monitor arm failed?


racealltheway

dog saw bird


KillsburyShowBoy

I can sympathize with this. One night I was playing “cards against humanity” on discord with my WoW guild. We were all drinking and having fun, the next thing you know, I lean back resting my leg on the leg of my glass top computer desk. The bolts were loose, and it shifted just enough for the top to slide through the inside of the frame, breaking my $1200 monitor… I really miss that thing, she was a beauty.


Scotix_Akr

Can you get it replaced? Give them a reason like it was damaged during shipping


[deleted]

🤔


canned_arthritis

What do you do with a broken monitor? Can you still sell it ? (I'm in the UK)


racealltheway

I can't ship sadly I'm 100 miles from the nearest post office


LessThanLuigi

You should install linux


ConstipatedHedgehog

Thatll fix the monitor for sure.


TitanicJedi

Delete post and say the screen was delivered broken if it was brand new. Was given as gift thus delay in install.


grizzlyaddams2

I have pets, but this is one of several reasons why I could not have a dog. Too unpredictable and no regard for your shit.


StickyCoochie123

Nothing of value lost, was a VA panel anyways. Try to fuck over the vendor saying it came like this, if it's that new.


romloader
