    It looks like a static dithering effect. The squares don't appear to have a solid color more like a hazy pattern. The pattern doesn't flicker or at least I don't think it does, so it probably wouldn't a temporal dithering. It's not too bad unless you hit the right shade of grey/black then it...

    View the image at http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php Dithering effects are very obvious in the squares 11 and up. I just recently tested my new U2410 for the dithering, it is only Adobe RGB and sRGB modes. The other modes all have uniform color without obvious dithering effects (doesn't...

    No luck fixing the pixel. If only it were off in a corner or something instead of right in the middle of the screen =( Anyway, 1 hour on the phone with Dell later, they're sending out a replacement.

    Dell U2410

    Got my U2410 today. When staring at a pure white screen there is not any hugely noticeable tinting or color gradation, but of COURSE there is a stuck-on green pixel about 2 inches right of the dead center of the monitor that is unavoidable when looking at a pure black screen. Praying that...

    No one knows what the effects of A01 are as of yet. At least I haven't read anyone saying they have an A01. Dynamic contrast, if I remember correctly, is only available in the gaming mode. TFT central mentioned in their review that it seemed odd for it not to be in the Multimedia mode also...

    Gecks, Question still remains - how did Dell fix/address this in the *new* firmware? Is it truly a *fix* or has Dell simply expanded the RGB gamut to reduce the visible dithering? * The new firmware removes the dithering with no relation to color gamut. We cannot answer in detail on the...

    I saw that guide at http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/dell2005_backlight_fix.htm, all I can say is you are a daring person to dismantle a ~$500 monitor. If you do it, let us know how it goes.

    Well, they dumped the price another $30 to $499 (small and medium business, for home the discount actually went down from $70 to $50 lol), so I went in for that with 5% bing cashback (or so I hope? maybe? The whole bing process seemed like dark voodoo magic and I have no confirmation from...

    And one more follow up from Chris: All, If I do buy now and get an A00 can you say definitively that I'll be able to trade it in for an A01 when they become available? * For the dithering complaint, yes. This is some good news, if you get an A00 with tinting due to the panel, this might be a...

    Latest response from Chris on the Dell forums - A01 by Christmas unlikely: The latest is that there are many discussions going on about this. Nothing has been decided. In my opinion, there will not be an A01 by Christmas. Maybe they will surprise me. My question to you, is your normal usage...

    Full agreement from me on the idea of supporting user firmware upgrades. There are downsides, inevitably there will be some that have something go wrong with their update and then they might "brick" their monitor. (This is something that the Sony PSP was notorious for) But the cost of...

    The latest response from Chris on the Dell forums: === Re: U2410 Rev A01 eta? 14 Dec 2009 09:30PM rkhrt27, ChrisM have you still not received an email back? * Yes. We are in discussions. Nothing to report yet. === A01 is imaginary =P

    Most places do tax based on shipping address. If GA has sales tax on something when you buy from a store then you probably have tax on that same something you buy on the internet. I'm not 100% sure on that though as I don't live in GA =) If you use the gaming mode for the reduced input lag /...

    You can get one from the Dell Clearance Store on eBay for $499 and then 8% bing cashback. It was 15% before but I can't seem to find bing keywords to search that bring up the 15% link anymore. To get the cashback you have to go to bing.com and search for terms like "lcd monitors" "dell...

    Please do bogie170, I have been looking all over for an actual customer confirmation of A01.
