Hi everyone. I just received my U2312HM in the mail and I'm wondering if a silvery-blue "sheen" or "tint" in the bottom-right corner of my display is a manufacturing defect or just an unfortunate characteristic of these particular displays. Below are four pictures of what I'm seeing. It's noticeable on darker images, even when sitting right in front of the monitor (not off-axis). I apologize for the pictures--they seem a little over-exposed (I don't own a good camera) and exaggerate the problem, making it seem a little more noticeable as it actually is. The sheen (or tint?) is much less noticeable when I'm more than a few feet away from the monitor, and when I line my eyes up directly with the corner. The display also seems to have a very slight silvery-red sheen on bottom-left corner, but it's almost impossible to notice compared to the tint of the bottom-right corner (which is always visible, looking for it or not). Basically, it's hard to see dark details in the bottom-right because of the tint.
I haven't RMA'd the monitor yet because I haven't ever owned an IPS display (just "upgraded" from two Dell P1130's) and I've found a bunch of posts by people who seem to have a very similar issue in exactly the same spot. Basically, I'd like someone who owns a U2312HM and is familiar with the tech to let me know if they think I should RMA the monitor or not. Apart from this issue, it seems like a great monitor for the price, so if this isn't an actual manufacturing defect, I won't sweat it. Any advice is appreciated.
Here's my monitor:
