Earlier quoted context omitted.
I mean, pets chew on cables. Office chair wheels run over cables. Desk feet end up on a cable. Corners of things wear down cables. There's a reason all other monitors have removable cables. And not all are standard. Some have power bricks outside of them. But all are user replaceable. Having to service a $1,500-$2,000 monitor because the cable isn't easily replaceable is just stupid.
Sure it's inconvenient but if you have a damaged cable ring your local electrician. They will just cut it and put a little inline junction box on it. Won't be as elegant but will also probably cost $100. Or just repair it yourself.
That would void your warranty. And $100 is more a rural fee. In a major city, it's gonna run you more than that. Or, get any other monitor and replacing the cable is about 6 bucks.
