    Burning smell from monitor?
    « on: January 17, 2017, 03:11:32 AM »
    Hi,
    I recently bought a Viewsonic VX-3209-2K and there is a burning smell coming from the top of the monitor. What should I do?

    Given it's so new, I'd get it replaced under warranty.  I presume it's definitely a burning smell, electronics like monitors do tend to have a bit of a smell that comes from the top ventilation slots as it warms up, particularly when they are new.
