Just ordered the 2412M with 5 year warranty for 790. A slight discount but I'm happy with that. Can't wait till it arrives.

Yup2, I chatted with a SA and he got me this price. Didn't had to haggle at all. First time ask straight give me this price. So I was quite happy with him.

monitor just arrived this morning. Everythings ok i guess. and wow 24 inch is actually huge. I didn't expect it to be this big. But im happy. Since im going overseas with it, does anyone know a dafe way to pack it? i thought ill just put it in my cabin bag but now i know it wont fit.

Thought about that too but i also have to bring my desktop (haf 912) with me as well so i have no idea how to pack those things. add to the fact that the airport workers usually handle the cargo roughly i get worried. sigh.

ok guys, what is this? I just noticed it when i had a blackscreen due youtube loading. its like a white fluorescent patch and u can see red pixels or dots there. what could of caused this? i didnt press the scren or anything.I got it today and i took very good care of it. I can ask for a replacement right?

whatever thats black. i did a black fill-in paint and i can see it alright. will check if its there in stand by but regardless im going to see if i can get it replaced. its definitely noticeable. I also see a bright pixel but im not worried about that since its not noticeable much.

Nope I can't see it on other colours. Only black. I think other colours mask the patch thats why i didn't noticed before. So if I ask for a replacement, do they replace it with a brand new monitor or do dell give me a refurbished unit? Or do they actually take my monitor and fix it?

Alright then.I'll give them a call on monday. but based on my picture, I do have a case to ask for a replacement right?

ok. Thanks for the tips. I'll give dell a call on monday.

What are good ways to test monitors? To check for dead pixels, different colour tint etc.?

Man I love dell's warranty. I called them yesterday about my monitor, got the new just now. Everything on the new monitor looks ok. Very happy right now.

Its not obvious but i can notice it if i find it. Its like i can see the refresh cycle or something like that. Is that normal? If I choose to ignore it, does it have a bad effect on my monitor?

Currently using VGA cause im using my laptop. Once my desktop is built i'll be using DVI. Do you think it has something to do with the vga connection?

You call them and they will send a courier to your house. Very simple. Supposed to put the old monitor into the new monitor box and return that box to them. But i gave them my box instead.

Yup, the courier gives the new monitor to you, replace it with the old one, sign some papers then its done.


Then i guess it has to be the connection then. Thanks for the answers guys.

the 2412M is very good esp at the price that i brought it. anyways guys, got a question which is quite important. is it possible to bring the monitor only as cabin luggage? just the monitor inside a beg. possible? is it allowed?

wow, 20" for 830? Not 1080p. thats a horrible deal when compared to the U2312HM.

Dell U2312HM for better warranty support from dell and it has a way better stand compared to the LG iirc
