Is there a way to determine how many hours uptime they have on them. Surely there is a way...thanks.
 
Found it in the dell forum....must have been using the wrong search terms before...

* Turn the monitor off
* Hold down the Menu button and the plus button
* While holding the other two down, press the power button. Wait for the DVI connector graphic to disappear
* Release all buttons
* Press the minus button. The Service Menu should appear
* Press the plus button to highlight Exit Menu
* Press the Menu button to Exit

Anyone know an appropriate amount of time that should be on a new monitor from Dell...from testing at the factory I assume...
 
Well, it should only be a few hours but I don't think its anything to worry about. The life of an LCD is very long, I believe somewhere in the range of 10 years?
 
This works on my 2007FP, but does not on a 2005FP. Any Idea how to get to a menu like this on the older models? I could only find information for the 2005FPW which is apparently not the same as the 2005FP.
