Nope, didnt solve my issue. I also called the Dell support line, which obviously was a waste of time. They recommended the screen was faulty and I should get a new one. However, it will probably have a yellow tint too.Switching my view between the 2 monitors is just a pain, the colors are a world apart. I guess ill be returning this screen and ask for a refund, whilst ill be looking for a proper IPS monitor that doesnt suffer from yellowish colors.
So Guys what do you think? For a 3 screen landscape setup. this worth it. PCMonitors.info mentioned blurr on games like BF4? Thats worrying. Is that a dealbreaker?
Thanks
They said it's caused by the refresh rate. Of course there will be blur, that's why some people demand 144Hz. But everybody has different sensitivities. I happily use 60Hz VA monitors for example.
So I use a 60hz Monitor now I don't notice any blur (although it is a TN with a much faster response time than this) Do you think it will be any worse?
And it most likely outputs a limited RGB range (16-235).got this monitor 2 days ago. impressed with the design, features and antiglare coating (much better then U2312HM, less grainy). image quality looks good on sRGB preset at first, i didnt have time to use it more than a few hours.
but, i did mention something strange and saw it here now, but i am on a mac so i dont know how to fix it and should i/is there any difference because of it. it is seen as a hdtv instead of monitor by the OS.
what do you guys think?

As mention in the PC Monitors review, this monitor is treated by the system like a TV when connected not only via HDMI but also via DP.
This might be a deal breaker for me.
I'm not sure how you can check this as I never had a monitor with this issue. Moreover, I'm not sure if this problem even occurs with Intel GPUs, especially in OSX. It's definitely present with Nvidia GPUs in Windos though.how can i check if it is limited RGB range (16-235)?

But the whole fact that your U2414H is detected as a TV makes me think that Intel GPUs in OSX have the same problems with this monitor.
You can try these tests:

Good pick up. I use my MacBook Pro to output via mDP to DP.
I mean the whites are white and the colour range looks great (sRGB preset). I would assume that its using the 0-255 full range but would like to know more myself.

is it recognized as TV on your MacBook too?
I am curious to see some pictures of movies and/or games with particularly dark and black scenes, just to get an idea of what the constrat is like. I've never owned an IPS monitor before, and I'm about wary, since I owned an IPS TV briefly, but had to let it go, since its poor blacks disappointed me too much after 5 years of plasma TV.

Just read TFT Central's review. Very very good and really unsurprising given the overall impressions of some users. This just backs up everything nicely and objectively and good to see.
My version is REV A00. Care to share your REV, guys? I have pretty bad backlight bleed on top left and Dell have agreed which is great to hear.
I ordered two U2414Hs a week and a half ago. The first one turned out fantastic. The second one had a light but clearly visible and visually distracting yellow tint to it in all preset modes. The settings for the two monitors were set at exactly the same settings on sRGB mode. I contacted Dell Customer Support and they replaced the monitor without much trouble. However, the replacement monitor that arrived had the same issue to the same or even greater degree. I contacted customer support again, and they are again replacing the monitor. I will keep you guys updated.

This picture shows a fairly accurate representation of the yellow tint on the right side monitor. The tint is actually slightly more prominent in person than the picture depicts, but not by much.
What rev are both displays?
All 3 displays I have received thus far have been REV A00.
They are on sale again on dell for anyone interested. There is an instant $50 off then a 10% off coupon that can be stacked. I got one with the soundbar for $320 with tax included and free 2 day shipping ordering through the live chat.

Hey. I have the same problem with yellow tint. I've returned the first one ang got a new one, but still no luck. What I did notice, that my color calibration factory report is much different that on reviewed units by TFTcentral and PCmonitors. Can you post those reports of your monitors? Will be much appreciated
TFT Central said:Before we get into this section we need to make an important note about use of the HDMI port if you choose to use that for connectivity. The screen features a couple of options you can use, including DisplayPort and HDMI. If you have an NVIDIA graphics card and want to use the HDMI at all you need to make a change to your graphics card settings to display the optimum picture. This is because by default the output range over HDMI is limited by the graphics card, and it can greatly limit the picture quality and in particular the black range and contrast ratio. In fact when speaking to our friends over at PCmonitors.info they said they had experienced the same issue using DisplayPort on this screen. If the image looks washed out or odd, we would suggest checking the graphics card output first or trying a different connection if you can. We didn't experience any issues with the RGB output when using an AMD graphics card and DisplayPort incidentally.
When connected via HDMI on an NVIDIA graphics card the screen by default will not look right, and the black range in particular is poor. A change is needed via your graphics card to ensure a full 0 - 255 output when using HDMI, rather than it being limited to a smaller output range of 16 - 235. A similar change might be required when using an AMD graphics card but the setting is built into their graphics card drivers. For NVIDIA cards the simplest way to ensure a full output range over HDMI is to use the handy toggle utility available here. If you run the program you can select a full 0- 255 range quickly and easily.
PC Monitors said:An Nvidia GTX 780 was used on our test system and we tested both DisplayPort and HDMI – with interesting results. When using either DisplayPort or HDMI the GPU sent out the wrong colour signal (‘Limited Range RGB 16-235’ instead of ‘Full Range RGB 0-255’. This reduced gamma, skewed white point, hugely impacted contrast and simply gave everything a washed out look. We are quite used to seeing this with Nvidia GPUs connected via HDMI as that is their default behaviour – treat the connected device as an HDTV. But we aren’t used to seeing this over DisplayPort which is currently a PC-only output. We tested the ‘MiniDP’ port as well as the full sized DP port using both DP 1.1 and DP 1.2. The native resolution of the monitor (1920 x 1080) is listed under ‘Ultra HD, HD, SD’ as ‘1080p, 1920 x 1080 (native) when connected by DisplayPort. This list of resolutions is designed for output in RGB 16-235 to devices such HDTVs. The resolution should instead be listed under ‘PC’ as ‘1920 x 1080 (native)’, but it isn’t.
This can be rectified for both DisplayPort and HDMI by creating a custom resolution with a 59.999Hz refresh rate. This will be treated by any application* as 60Hz but uses the correct Full Range RGB 0-255 colour signal. The process for setting this up is shown in the video below.

*Some games seem to ignore custom resolutions and will instead revert to using the default Limited Range RGB 16-235. That is why a preferred method for correcting the colour signal over HDMI is to use this utility. You just run the .exe file included in the .zip and click the button at the top right which is labelled ‘Set Full Range (0-255)’. You then simply restart your computer.
Unfortunately this utility doesn’t do anything to the DisplayPort signal. We only had one U2414H with us for testing, but suspect that running them in ‘Surround’ using the MST/Daisy Chain capability of the monitor will use the correct signal as well because the resolution used (5760 x 1080) is PC only. If not a solution would be to use HDMI ports (or DVI ports using a DVI to HDMI cable) on the GPU(s). We simply used the HDMI connection and the utility to correct the colour signal (universally – even for games that ignore custom resolutions) and the difference in gamma, colour depth and contrast compared to an uncorrected signal was remarkable. AMD GPU users don’t have to worry about this and should be able to use DisplayPort or HDMI quite happily.
