I only had my 27" ASUS 4K monitor for about a year when it just stopped working a few days ago. ASUS is an absolute nightmare to deal with and they're telling me my monitor isn't qualified for repair or replacement so I'm looking for a new one but there's so many different aspects to monitors that I'm still not sure what's what. I'm currently working out of town for a few more weeks so if I could get a few recommendations it would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for another 27".

Given the trend of lower quality products coming from the big names I've encountered lately, I'm hesitant to just pick out a new one and try it out.

What's wrong with it? Does not turn on? If yes, this is most likely due to failing electrolytic capacitors on the DC supply section of the PCB. Relatively easy and quite cheap to fix it yourself. At least try.

It turns on, but there's no picture. As in, the power button lights up, but that's it. If this can be fixed, I'll definitely look into it because dealing with ASUS has been the worst customer service experience I've had in many many years.
