Hazro series - HZ30Wi, HZ30WiQ, HZ27WA, HZ27WB & HZ27WC

ray · 7 Jan 2011 at 18:18

I received my HZ30Wi a couple of days ago so I'm now getting worried after hearing about the problems you guys are having with this screen!

The only problems I've had so far was when I first installed it: the screen wouldn't display anything and the LED on the side would flash an orange colour. After I turned everything off, then disconnected and reconnected the DVI cable, the screen worked fine and I've had no problems since then. I don't see any dead pixels and I'm happy with the quality of the display.

Anyway, I hope the problems you guys are having will be solved very soon, and I've got my fingers crossed that my display will continue to work without any problems.

Katanaq - are you sure the dual link dvi is connected properly?

I have 2 of these screens and haven't had a single problem like the one you are talking about - and what GFX card is it - but my screens have been running for well over a month.

Are the screens actually working sometimes? Or just not working at all?

Hi folks

Happy new year to all.

We will be looking into some of the problems reported and will get back asap.

Zappb3:

I have tried to reseat the dvi cable like 10 times. I have also tried 4 ports at computer end (2 computers). Also turned cable otherway. No effect.

I have 2 GFX on 2 computers:

HIS RADEON 3850 AGP. The monitor worked fine with this, but now upon boot, it shows picture for like 10-60 seconds, then goes white and then black blinking green/orange, like not getting signal. Worked fine with this setup for like 2 hours before starting this.

Gainward Bliss 7800GS Golden Sample AGP. The monitor just shows garbled pixel mess upon boot.

It may be the DVI cable itself, but I cannot figure out how it could break suddenly. Maybe I should go and buy a new one and try. Edit: I tried the cable with HD resolution monitor, not dual link, and the cable worked ok.

I would like to mention that Hazro has been very helpful and immediately answered my enquiry, but they are off for weekend now.

Edit: Just tried to put the monitor On at windows desktop (dual monitor setup). Picture goes on just fine, but goes black in like 10 seconds.

I cannot figure out whats going on...like it just drops signal.

Somewhere in the manual it says that the new screen resolution (2560x1600) should be set before connecting the monitor. so I used two screens (old 24 BenQ as main and Hazro as secondary) and it worked fine ....
Not sure if this is of any use though :rolleyes:

Seems very quiet in the land of Hazro. . .

How come Mr Hazro has not posted in a while?

Would be nice to have an update on the 27" screens and when they will be finally available.

I just wish I could buy a HZ27Wa.

von Pluring · 17 Jan 2011 at 10:57

the 27" start to feel like borderline vaporware

Combat Fighter · 18 Jan 2011 at 06:33

I'm starting to wonder if Hazro has gone bust again with the lack of info.

Does not really inspire confidence.

panda_uk · 18 Jan 2011 at 09:11

Can anyone from ocuk let us know if they are still trading, as it's a bit odd they've gone this quiet all of a sudden.

Combat Fighter · 18 Jan 2011 at 18:05

Has anyone got any new regarding Hazro?

Are they still trading. Or have they gone bust?

Robert · 18 Jan 2011 at 18:54

This is why I'm sticking with Dell for the time being.

Hazro just don't seem to be reliable at the moment.

Baddass · 19 Jan 2011 at 08:56

i've chased up with my contact at Hazro to get an update and ask if someone can update everyone in this thread too

neologan · 19 Jan 2011 at 12:44

Was waiting on the 27-inch model but to be honest, noway now. Hazro had one chance to make up for last time and it was this thread, and they aren't filling me with confidence here....

isvik · 19 Jan 2011 at 13:09

I too had been prepared to wait for the 27-inch model until at most the end of this month as I liked the fact that it had the same res as the Apple Cinema Display at a much lower price point and it's supposed to be a better gaming panel than the u2711 but after the latest problems with the 30-inch model on 7/8 Jan, I jumped ship and got a HannsG HZ281. I can live with this at half the price of the 27-inch Hazro.

Katanaq · 19 Jan 2011 at 14:46

Ok I got an update. Seems to be a faulty circuitry. This can be considered as a DOA.

Hazro just called me and arranged a pickup for repair. Really great service, since I live in Finland.

hazro · 19 Jan 2011 at 14:58

Hi folks

Just wanted to post an update on the 30inch and 27inch displays.

OCUK will take delivery of a small batch of the HZ30Wi's in approx 2 weeks or so. They may accept pre-orders.

The HZ30Wi-Qs will, most likely, be sold via our new site which is under development. Again, the lead time is around 2 weeks.

We cannot promote the 27s at all via these forums so any questions on these should be emailed in.

Apologies for the absence: more back orders to fulfill so I end up on the production line!!

neologan · 19 Jan 2011 at 17:40

hmmm, so OCUK will not be selling Hazro monitors soon, you'll be selling them direct?

While that might reduce the prices for us, or up your own margins (not saying that's a bad thing), it again makes me feel uneasy. Hope I'm just being paranoid, but this does feel a little worrying.

Then again, if the 27-inch comes in at an irresistible price, well, i might find it hard to resist and be a guinea pig even with my worries

*EDIT* didn't notice you can already buy direct from Hazro? :confused:

I wonder if you will be able to buy the 27" direct if a new site is under development?

I just want a HZ27Wa!

OCUK will continue selling the HZ30Wi in the UK only. Infact, they have a batch going out very soon. We will sell other models directly and take orders from European customers.

Marvin · 19 Jan 2011 at 21:21

I too would be incredibly interested in a ~£500 27" IPS. The way I read Hazro's last post is that the 27" will only be available direct (maybe because the intended price point doesn't really allow for a 'middleman'), but the 30" will still be available via OcUK.

Edit: Didn't see Hazro had posted at the same time as me...
