No way, am I keeping this display. My two $300 korean 1440p displays didn't have any dead or stuck pixels. No way an I going to put up with several on a 1k+ display.

And what happens when your replacement has even more dead pixels? They aren't going to allow you to infinitely exchange them until you find a perfect one. This was my dilemma with the Swift. Was I supposed to try a 5th one and hope that it didn't have dead pixels? I'm probably already on a lot of these retailers shit lists for returning so much.
Did they send you refurbs or brand new monitors? I can't imagine that they would allow you to infinitely exchange them for brand new monitors. Otherwise they'd be losing a lot of money.
edit - I also wonder if they'll even exchange for 2 dead pixels. Their policy says that 5 is acceptable on this monitor. No stuck pixels though, so BababooeyHTJ should be ok.

dont they have to exchange for another if its still under warranty and there are legit probs no matter how many times you need to return it? i havent read the 'entire' warranty but there's not restrictions,special cases where they can make an technical ruling and deny you technical help/replacement if the monitor isnt satisfactory?
BababooeyHTJ, how do you like the monitor otherwise?

i got noticeable blb on all corners! gonna get a replacement, i'd take a pic but from what you all say it wont help because it'll show up worse on cam
damn this monitor is testing my gpu haha, the games i normally play is now generating about 20' more heat and uses 30% more power..i hear the fans going overdrive when it normally doesnt
It is just me or are both coupons listed a couple pages back for the Dell monitor now dead? Only one worked earlier and I was about to pull the trigger and now I get nothing but the shipping and 60$ EPP.
Same here. Both of the coupons are still valid but they won't apply to the monitor. I had a chat with a dell rep last night that told me the coupons only work for Dell Home, not Dell Epp but I couldn't get them to work on Dell Home either. Anyone have any ideas?
I always wondered why high end Samsung monitors are so expensive in the us.
What GPU do you have? No need to worry on a replacement...Dell usually ships them overnight or 2-day...just give them a call.
Well, in this case, it's the same as the LG curved. Hope to see reviews soon.
Though really hope one of these gets a firmware upgrade that allows for Freesync...
Dell is backpedaling like crazy on these coupons. I had a long chat with a rep who told me that even though this monitor is not on the exclusion list, that it doesn't qualify as an "electronic device." Bullshit.
I recited the exclusion list to him and nowhere are monitors and projectors listed.
After arguing my point that a monitor is in fact an electronic device, he proceeded to tell me that it is a member purchase coupon. Guess what? I couldn't get it to work there either. He claimed that there was "another coupon" that could have been used, but it already expired. Darn it, wouldn't you know?
It seems that they won't allow any discounts to be applied to the U3415W on Dell Epp or their regular site. They have now added the U3415W to the list of exceptions on the MQFL7LKHT?NK12 coupon I'm kicking myself for waiting for reviews on this display. I should have ordered over the weekend like everyone else.
That sucks, and exactly why I didn't wait. Had my eye on the Dell for a while now waiting for it to release. With coupon codes that stacked over 20% there was no way I was going to procrastinate.
Given your offer in the post immediately above, I have to ask. . . how is it that you're not certain how many you purchased? Was it 10, 15, or some number in between?I've got 10-15 of these coming in next week or so, can't wait to give it a try!

34UM95 + GTX970 here, been using both for an extended period of time.
After a couple of months using HDMI2.0 (+Nvidia custom res @60Hz), I switched back to using DP (not 1.2 as I don't have a Quadro/FirePro to take advantage of 10bit colors), now that there's a workaround for windows resizing, which was the biggest drawback for me.
Three major things I've noticed:
- Using HDMI2.0 seems to cause a significant amount of "screen-splitting", to the point where it occurs every few minutes at times
- After switching back to DP, noticed just how much less input lag DP seems to have. There's a good 20ms difference there, which I didn't notice right after switching to HDMI2.0
- The OSD seems to be a lot less responsive when HDMI is connected, for whatever reason
With all the chatter about the connection issues, how do you all feel about waiting for the DP 1.3 monitors? It's clearly the future and weeks/months away not years. This Dell offering looks great but with the only "future-proofing" in the HDMI 2.0 connection and the challenges we're hearing around that connection method, it would seem like waiting is the right path (to me). What am I missing?
I'll add that I understand there is always new technology around the corner, but this one seems like a big required leap to be able to power these new resolutions without workarounds. Assuming monitors have a longer lifespans than the average computer, waiting 6 months for the ability to properly connect to the technology for the next 8+ years doesn't seem like a stretch.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I read the manual is that 60Hz is only achievable with an HDMI 2.0 connection. DP 1.2 looks to be at a 50Hz maximum. This may not be an issue, but it's clearly due to the connections showing their age with the size of the monitor. If you add on the feedback in this thread about the HDMI 2.0 slower interface, etc., I'm concerned with the compromise.
I think they are referring to HDMI only there. You need HDMI 2.0 to do 60Hz on HDMI.
DP 1.2 can do 60Hz as it already does on my 34UM95 LG.
If that's true, it's a very confusing way of writing the manual. It sure does look like it's only 60Hz with the HDMI, because that section doesn't specify HDMI only, it's mentioning all possible resolutions.
Anyway, if you have the device and confirm, that's great.
I've used the method from this post + installed the UM95 driver from LG's Korean website.What are these workarounds? I'd love to ditch hdmi, these splits are getting annoying (feels like every 2-3m).
