    Dell U2412M

    Overdrive cannot be permanently turned off, it resets when You power off and on. Also You cannot permanently alter the number either. Just turn the power off and on again to remove access to the factory menu.

    Dell U2412M

    That looks more like IPS glow than backlight bleed to me. If it changes as You move Your head it's IPS glow, otherwise backlight bleed. The replacement I got last week has even less Backlight bleed than my original, and that one was good as far as I was concerned.

    Oh my god ... Samsung warranty support SUCKS

    Just had my Dell U2412M replaced. Phoned them afternoon Tuesday. Replacement came Afternoon Wednesday to my work (I was off sick so picked it up Thurs). I phoned the courier company Late Thursday to arrange pickup Courier company took it about 3pm Friday. Can't complain about that. I should...

    Dell U2412M

    Got the replacement, it is a refurbished one manufacture date March 2012. Looks like it has had a new screen put in it, as nearly 0 minutes display on time in the factory menu. Although I'm sure they would reset that anyway. There are no scratches, marks, or anything, although I did have to...

    Dell U2412M

    After my previous post saying I wasn't going to bother about the red tint to left and green/yellow tint to right, I decided that it's something I shouldn't have to put up with on a new monitor, so Dell are sending me a replacement (hopefully not a refurbished one). I'll let you know how it...

    Dell U2412M

    I'm waiting to see if the tinting improves over time at all. I've only had my monitor 2 weeks tomorrow. I don' t think it's worth returning for a minor tinting issue, as the replacement could end up worse. 3 Years warranty anyway, so I'll just get in touch with Dell if it starts annoying me.

    Dell U2412M

    It doesn't look quite this bad in reality, but essentially that is how it is, reddish to the left, yellow/green towards the right.

    Dell U2412M

    Mine also has that Yellow/Green tint issue in the lower right hand side, and a slight red tint on the left hand side. I have found that it is mostly only noticeable on white background web pages, also pdf's with a white background. You might find that increasing the blue in your custom...

    Asus PA248Q and Dell U2412M

    Got my Dell u2412m last week, AG coating doesn't bother me at all, You can hardly see it unless You are too close to the monitor anyway. It is a rather curious coating though, as my old BENQ x2200w has less reflection and less graininess on its AG. My only niggle (minor complaint) is that when...

    A quality 24" PS3 monitor?

    No Probs Mithos, The GW and GL series are readily available in Australia, which is where I am. Interestingly the Asus VE258Q used to be available here, but isn't anymore. Best of luck finding a good Monitor.

    A quality 24" PS3 monitor?

    What about the Benq GL2450HM, Haven't heard anything bad about them at all, there are some reviews on Youtube. The bigger version GL2750HM has some reviews floating around, but You may have to use Google translate. Don't know why there are no in-depth reviews for the GL2450HM, but a few...

    Dell U2713HM

    I've made up my mind to get a U2412HM, to replace my ageing Benq x2200w Monitor. Wasn't really all that much wanting to go 16:9. The point is that I don't get how the Dells have such a seemingly reflective AG coating as well as the sparkly effect, when my old BENQ has less sparkly effect, less...

    Physically Repair Stuck / Dead Pixels?

    Impossible I'm afraid, there are 3 individual microscopic transistors that drive every pixel on the screen. for example. 1920 x 1200 x 3 = 6912000 transistors I must be lucky, never a faulty pixel yet with my 4 1/2 year old monitor.

    Asus VE278Q

    Just had a bad experience with the Asus VE276Q monitor. The retailer (Umart Online (Australia)) was awesome though, fantastic service. 1st one had 1 dead red pixel, the replacement again had a dead red pixel, in a different location, but also had a dirt mark under the screen surface. In the...
