Oddly enough my Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP developed a fault [luckily within the 3 year warranty period] [several vertical 1 pixel wide solid coloured lines stretching completely from the top to the bottom of the screen], I rang Dell and they arranged a next day swap [impressive] - and they replaced it with a U2410, which I wasn't expecting. It's an A05 revision, made in the Czech Republic, so that might tally with the "different region" theory. It's a refurb - no dead pixels, but with a very, very slight uneven colour cast [mentioned in some earlier posts] - green on the LHS fading to magenta on the RHS of the screen. The cast itself diminished after a few hours use, but I'll be keeping a close eye on it as I do use it for my photography work.
