Hey a few weeks ago I made a post about my LG L1932TX-BF monitor with a light grey "smear". Anyways, LG sent me a refeurbished unit.

However the first thing that I noticed is, it has a slight blue tinge to it. Now in side by side comparisons with my old monitor and the new one sent out to me show that when at factory default, the new refurbished one has a blue tinge at 6500k compared to my old one. Setting it at 5900k removes the blue tinge, however the colors are wayyy to warm for me.

So is it possible that there is something wrong with the refurbished one?
 
I took pictures to show the difference:

Remember that they were both taken after a factory reset. I actually packaged up the refurbished one because the blue bugs me way to much.
 
Well, you just have to play with color settings for a while, set the R-G-B values to your liking. I hope the monitor has a custom color mode or so.
Btw, what are these horrible vertical on the monitor screen?
 
I'm not too sure about the lines. My camera picks them up.

As for the blue tinge, I have never had the need to adjust colors after a factory reset on any LCD monitor I have ever used (aside from the brightness and gamma. I just got my girlfriend a 20" LG LCD monitor last christmas abd there is no blue tinge at factory default either.
 
:) Don't be naive.
Monitors often have very bad colours ballance in the factory settings. They need at least manual adjustments and calibration, if you want precise colours :)
