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.
I've just called Dell for a replacement and it will arrive tomorrow.
I hope everything will be OK this time. The "old" U2412M will be picked up by Dell, the day after I get the new one, so I will still have the time to compare them.
@10e :
The white glow, that you see in this picture (from bensen's U2412M) at the bottom right, is what I see from a distance of about 80 cm, sitting in front of my screen (and I see the same in the upper-right).
Is this normal IPS Glow and do most people with an e-ips monitor, see this...
Thanks for the info, that'll help me with deciding wether to keep this monitor or exchange it.
@10e : I'm sorry, but I can't post a photo, because I really SUCK at making good pictures, actually I have no photography experience at all:o
What I can say, is that when I compare your photo to...
Thanks 10e, I'll try to post a photo later. One question, do you see about the same amount of white glow that I see, from 90 cm (3 feet) away, when sitting in front of your monitor on an all black screen?
Actually, I sit in a very small dimly lit room with the brightness level only on 35.(I'm using 10e's settings, which are great, by the way) The glow only bothers me in dark games/gamescenes. Other than that, I love my U2412M. It's great.
So you think, I should keep this one, because most...
That looks great!
Unfortunately, my U2412M suffers from some heavy IPS Glow on the right upper-corner and right bottom-corner (both up to 9 cm into the screen, diagonally, I tested on an all black screen), when sitting in front of it, even when I'm sitting about 90 cm away from it. It has to...
I've just received and setup my U2412M! You're right, it's certainly a HUGE upgrade!!
Thankfully, there's no backlight bleeding or any dead (sub)pixels.:)
Of course there's some IPS glow, but I'll get used to that. The colours look great out of the box, but I'm going to try TFT Central's...
After reading this entire thread and the positive review on TFT Central, I've finally decided to order the U2412M. I hope it will be completely without any of the mentioned faults, when I receive it.
Anyway, I'm very excited about it, I can't wait! I'll probably receive it tomorrow and...
