Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Both that I got seemed new. I think it's mentioned on some other thread that there's usually a green sticker at the back (or bottom) of the screen if it's a refurb. Maybe someone can correct me on this. Neither one that I received had it.
As for the returning policies, I called to Dell techical...

I received my second replacement (first they accidentaly sent me that U2410) from Dell few days back, and it had more or less the same defects as my original. Actually, a bit more of the backlight bleed, and an odd 'bluish' image that I wasn't able fix to my preference, no matter how I...
Here's also a site with quick blank screen, and solid color backgrounds for defective pixel check.
The glow you describe sounds like IPS-glow. Adjusting the tilt (so that you're looking the screen from more "straight" direction) and your viewing distance from the monitor may help a little.
Because he was asked to. Its quite obvious that youre going for this. These settings are suggestive, and "free to try". Many have found them helpful, myself included. No one lives in an illusion that those settings can be used as a snap 'calibration' to your individual screen. Nor have anyone...
If the picture that has both screens side by side is taken from a further distance than the first photo, it could be just normal IPS-glow. They're a bit small shots to judge from, but if the dual screen picture is what you actually see, then in my opinion it looks almost as backlight bleed free.
Ok, time for an update. Dell somehow messed up with my replacement delivery. They said it'll take at least a week to get my new one. Well, for that reason I was quite surprised today when I got a call from their (this time some local) courier. The delivery guy said that he has my replacement...
My first impressions also when I got mine. The bleed/glow you described at lower right sounds very much the same that mine has, although on my screen the bleed that 'stands out the most' is at upper right corner. Though its hard to take a picture of it in the way you actually see it on the...
Thank you for your answer 10e, I'll give it some time. As otherwise I am very satisfied with this monitor and its image quality. Btw, forgot to thank you already in my first post, as your input in this thread has helped me alot to choose this screen. :) Same goes also to those others who have...
So its backlight bleed? This cant IPS-glow right? Because its not orange or violet-bluish, and its basically almost the same from any distance.
I only have this basic Ixus-digi, Im not sure if I can get much better photos with it.. I cant really capture them as accurately I would like. They...
I just got mine, but.. what do you think from these photos:
a bit distance
a closer look
Based on your images 10e, your screen & panel looks perfect. I used your color settings for these shots (only with the screens base 75/75 Brightness/Contrast, so that they would even somehow...
