    Dell U2412M

    The Dell S2440L has far too glossy screen to be useable. If you can stand using a mirror as monitor, then be my guest.

    Both have equal chances of getting bleeding, my money will be on Rev A00 as it has the best anti-glare coating compared to other coating which makes white "sparkly".

    You can't printscreen, it will take a perfect screenshot instead. You have to take picture with your camera.

    If you're talking about backlight uniformity, get a black picture full screen, easiest would be to fire up paint, fill the area with black color and change it to full view in the View tab. Observe the corners to see if there's any uneven lighting and they are bleeding.

    I live in Singapore and they don't have the policy here cause I have had 3 replacements, all of which are clearly refurbed units. I'll have to wait until the night to see if the bleeding is visible. I think I'm seeing a bit of bleed already with 100% brightness.

    Dell U2412M

    I just called in for another replacement and a replacement is coming in on Friday. I questioned them on their quality assurance and they said there's nothing they can do about that and they have their own standard of backlight uniformity and they will approve the monitor if the bleeding is not...

    Dell U2412M

    Do you agree that there's not/hardly a perfect unit and I should keep the current one? Anyway I've called in for another replacement and it's on it's way... Don't know if I made the right choice.

    Dell U2412M

    They have been very efficient thus far, sending replacement the day after I call them noon time but seriously, does anyone here even own a perfect unit? I'm gonna assume that 90% of the units were returned due to backlight bleeding and they were never fixed!

    Dell U2412M

    Hey guys, need some opinions here. I recently posted about my purchase of this monitor but was braced with backlight bleeding. Therefore I went ahead and got it replaced twice, I will only talk about the second replacement here as the first replacement had some serious backlight issue bar the...

    I too bought the monitor for programming, so far so good.

    The best way is to probably open up paint and fill it with plain black color, then switch to full screen view and look at the corners where backlight bleed usually exist.

    Dell U2412M

    I was told that it was calibrated with professional tools. I can't really differentiate what's natural color and what's not though and so I'm not sure how useful it is to me. Does backlight bleeding ever "go away" by itself? Edit: I took another picture with my calibrated brightness setting in...

    Dell U2412M

    Hey guys, just got myself a U2412M but I have noticed backlight bleed, which is quite annoying to me: I can live with all the bleed at the corners except for bottom right one, which as you can see is quite pronounced. Brightness is at 100 when I took the photo, however, the calibrated...

    Dell U2312HM or Dell U2412M

    Hey guys, I'm having a hard decision here to make. I can't choose between the Dell U2312HM and U2412M. The U2412M costs $70 more in my country. The other alternative being Asus PA246Q is too pricey in my country, it costs about $100~150 more than the U2412M. My primary usage being the normal...
