This is my 2nd monitor from Dell, the first had problems with colour leakage on right side of screen and is going back tomorrow.
However even the 2nd one isn't perfect, it's darkish around the edges but it's not as noticable as the first one.
However what can be noticable is this:

The left is lighter than the right. Though this isn't hugely obvious usually.
Confusingly however, I also get this:

Left doens't seem lighter at all.
I also can't notice any very obvious uniformity issues using DeadPixelTesters coloured screens.
So.. should I try my luck with a 3rd one or should I just stick with this and stop looking for any fault with a camera? I think I've heard complaints about the Dells being light on the left than right, that seems to be a sort of widepread manufacturing thing?
Anyways what do your guys think with your 2709s?
Btw, I prefer Adobe RGB preset
Where was it made, and what rev? Mine looks completely even, except for the extream right side. The brightness rolls off on the right 3/4" of the screen. I think they all have this to some degree. Yours looks like it is a little pink on the left and green on the right. I read that this was true in some of the A00 units, and maybe in others as well. I think the difference in color is what makes the dark blue background in the first pic look darker on the right.
I think the units made in Mexico are more even, but it could vary from one batch to the next as well.
Mine is Rev A01 made in Mexico Sept. 08.
I think I would return it again; especially if you paid full pop.
Good Luck
