Advise for all possible Dell U2410 buyer, try to avoid this monitor at all cost!!!

The monitor come with a manufacturer defect of Pink/Green Tint issue, and the solution provided by Dell was "Within Spec" and "Show me a 24" EIZO for $529 and lets compare." By Dell.

You can look into the matter here:

Im one of the victim, and im currently promoting their crime.

Just a remind from previous thread to avoid additional unhappy customer increases~

Not all monitor have that tinting problem. If yours is free from that, than congrat. No need to go find that problem yourself~ The tinting issue is obvious in white background, and damn obvious in a light grey background. Contrast level 50 edi can see the different~ ofcos, more high more significant. you can use "paint" to do the test. just chose the light grey color beside white.

As quote~ wish you luck~

Nah~~i never recommend ppl in buying U2410. You can check the previous thread version 7~ not me~ i only said what was the thing convince me. I only do the math in pricing, but that time i tot premium panel should be free from problem. But i guess im wrong. Its Dell!!
Yeah, on the term or pricing and the "introduction" of dell web site, it really attractive, but than who know the real unit is come with so many problem.. its manufacturer defect which you could only found out when you had 1. and based on the performance of my LCD, i can say that the web site info is all fake, and its cheating..i know thats rude, but its true

nope..screen shot is unable to let u see the problem as its physically green and pink. Only a camera and photoshop with saturation boost do the work, but i dont have photoshop and a good camera. You can see the photo by others who have this problem in dell forum.

That one depend on luck actually, not every unit have that problem. but i dont have your kind of luck. yes, i had send it back, but the new 1 is come with more serious problem.
Pink tint on upper right, green tint of lower left, and serious backlight bleeding (i only notice this when my friend came over yesterday). he din notice the tint until i told him, but the first thing he notice is backlight bleeding which i dont know what is that until yesterday.

Added on November 10, 2009, 5:48 pmerm..sorry that i didnt do that test as my GC dont have hdmi.. cos i using an old 8500gt 512mb gc only as im not a gamer~
not sure how to use the audio port, but i assume its hdmi thing~

heres a quote:
"There's even a 3.5mm audio out jack here, for pushing out audio you've got feeding in through HDMI, either to a speaker system or to Dell's optional soundbar which can be mounted under and powered by the monitor."

LOL....saw some interesting quote again for Dell LED G2410 LCD:


"All,

Flickering during power save modes is expected. The monitor is working as designed."

This time not U2410, its G2410~ ^^

Bravo Dell~~ every defect is within spec~~

Just an update~~ 4th replacement unit of my U2410 came yesterday. its a refurbish unit.
tinting issue not so serious like the 3rd unit. but still able to notice if set to higher contrast. upper right part and lower left part~
and backlight bleeding for left lower and upper corner~

video quality lo~~ u try get a blueray version of movie which about 6-8gb..and see if the problem still persist.

if its serious, yes, it affect ur view as you will see pink color at white or grey background for center part of ur monitor. such as document and web page. my 2nd and 3rd unit quite obvious. now 4th unit, still got, but less noticeable. backlight bleeding, also 1 of the problem.

Hi guys~~~ can this called as backlight bleeding??~~
the left side corner~ i updated my picture becos previously the camera setting is wrong~

LOL~~~ best disclaimer of the year~~~

not really. they only solved the dithering issue in srgb.

i think u can try to request dell to send technician over ur place for that problem. but im not sure this is their normal procedure or not.
my dithering problem solved after they sent me a technician to flash the firmware. im at KL~

this 1 cant confirm as we consumer will nvr know had dell flash the new firmware in all their new unit. i suggest u dont take the risk now and wait until there is some official new revision come out~ provided u able to wait.
from dell forum, some people in other country bought the unit at December, but still with dithering problem although dell support stated every new unit after November is free from dithering.
