From my original thread, I was concerned with the backlighting of my new 2001FP (Nov '03). I requested a replacement, received it and proceeded with 3 days of testing. The new 2001FP (Jan'04) still had some backlight issues due to bezel pressure, but it was no worse than the Nov'03 model. During the final phase of testing a pixel in the center third of the Nov'03 version locked up. The decision was made easy. Dell has arranged the pick-up with the UPS driver supplying the return label. All I needed was an EXG # which I got from Dell Customer Care, but was also printed on the manifest of the newer monitor. The Nov'03 monitor was only 2 weeks old. Luckily there is a 3 year warranty on the 2001FP. I'll keep you informed how well Number 2 is doing.
