I have one spec on the right side of the panel... I'm holding out for the revisions to be fixed to trade in for a newer one.

Anyone tried the VP2770-LED ? Think this one might be our best bet..
There's a big thread on it - http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1732378&highlight=. I've got some at work. I'm a VA fan myself but for colours and quality these are just great. Really enjoy using them for work.
would anyone take a chance and NOT buy this from Dell? And instead purchase online or on ebay to save a few bucks? Also, anyone wall mounted this?
Would this be considered normal for Dell U2713HM Rev A01?
Thanks

I've gone through 5 of these monitors in the past 2 weeks and all have had yellow light bleed in the lower left corner and cross hatching.
At this point, my advice is you need to decide for yourself what you are willing to live with (considering you're paying ~$600). This also depends on your intended uses of the monitor. I use it for games, movies, and occasional design work. As such, I find the light bleed unacceptable (I can live with the cross hatching) and since its part of the QC protocol of Dell (i.e. its not a "problem" in their eyes) I'm giving up on this model.
I've ordered a Viewsonic VP2770 which should arrive today.

I've had two Dells with exactly this problem and both have gone back. Total lack of quality control from Dell and it is not good enough. I have a refund coming soon and i'm considering the Viewsonic myself also. Would be good to hear how you get on with yours.
I just got the Viewsonic today. Overall, I like it more. There is no cross hatching or buzzing noise. There is some light bleed but its much much less than any of the U2713HMs I tried. The uniformity on the Viewsonic I got it is bad though -- but I read that most people have great uniformity so I'm going to get a replacement.

Mine looks like that too. Before buying the Dell, I went through numerous 2012 27-inch iMacs that had the same problem. I think LG's screens suck when it comes to backlighting. This isn't Dell's fault. I kept mine because Dell gave me a nice post-purchase discount when I complained about it, and I knew that I could swap it out at any time and try my luck again.
I definitely find the yellow blob distracting, although no buzzing sounds on mine.I am working towards a third replacement right now.If it doesn't work out am gonna ask for my money back or atleast a post purchase discount like Lava Lamp Freak.
Any tips for me on how to get me some post purchase discount,Lava ?
I did try with Wikipedia and other text websites but no buzz, neither in A00 nor A01
I submitted a return request for a refund through the website and listed all of the problems I had with the first display. I got an email from the "Resolutions Team" offering a $70 discount if I'd keep the display. I accepted their offer and then submitted a new request to exchange the display instead of returning it for a refund.
I'm still not happy with the backlighting and crosshatching, but I don't notice the crosshatching as much as I notice the horrible backlighting and yellow blob. I feel so beat down by all of the issues I've had with displays, both Dell and Apple, that I'm just sticking with this one for now. I keep hoping that something will change with a new revision and then I'll request to exchange it again.
Mine buzzes if I have something full screen with a lot of text on it, like Wikipedia, but I don't do that.
After trying two Dells and sending them both back for dead pixels and backlight bleed, I gave up and went for a Viewsonic VP2770-LED. And guess what, this has backlight bleed issues too I really can't be bothered to keep sending back monitors in the vague hope of getting one without any defects. Looks like I'll just keep the Viewsonic. Very disappointing though, considering the monitor it replaces had none of the issues that plague current models. And they say technology is improving
Same here, I notice it less and less with timefwiw, my lower left-hand corner 'yellow tint' has gotten significantly better over time. i wish i took some screenshots when i got the thing to compare to now.
Hello guys
just got my superb U2713HM from Amazon.de (as a French) and it's pretty amazing !!
I'm already the owner of the U2412HM which now stands next to the 27" !
the thing is I got a red pixel at the left-bottom it's a shame !!
I just did the "owner transfert" on Dell Website, to get the warranty, is that right ?
then Dell will send me another model ?
thanks.
PS : it's rev A00 manufactured in Dec.2012, and the backlight seems pretty good to me !!
PS 2 : this is awsome, for movies, games, word, developpement ...

Has anyone ordered this monitor recently and received a A02 revision? They should be in the wild any day now..
I received a couple of A02s from Amazon while I was going through replacements. The only difference I saw between A01 and A02 was that the buzzing noise when viewing full screen of text was gone. Cross hatching and backlight bleed were still there though to the same extent.
You sure you're not talking about A00 to A01 ? A02 is a different panel.
