Hi,

I have a dark patch on my Dell 3007WFP:

It will stay there for hours (these things become more uniform when they heat up - 10, 15 min but this stays there). I run the monitor on very low brightness (basement with low light). If I increase the brightness, the dark patch goes away completely in 10 minutes. I can lower the brightness afterwards and the patch won't appear again until the monitor is shut off. Is this normal? Does anyone else's 3007 do this?
 
One of the multiple cold cathods providing the backlight is dead... If still under warranty ... claim.
 
It's shot I guess. I had them send me another one. Should be in today or tomorrow.

Can't wait LED backlight S-IPS monitors...
 
OK, I got a new (refurbished) 3007. Backlight is generally much better than the old one but it gives me a bunch of horizontal and vertical lines in different colors on any resolution higher than 1280x800. My old 3007 that's supposed to go back still displays 2560x1600 just fine.

How do you reset these things? I just called Dell and they weren't sure...
 
Reset? If it's displaying random colored lines, there's definitely something wrong with it. Ask them to send you another replacement.
