2209WA

Is it normal for these to get fairly warm after use? E.g. had a 3 hour gaming session last night and around the rear vents it was quite hot. Never noticed this on my old monitor (19 inch Hanns-G).

not sure :confused:

mine's on 24/7 doing graphics/gaming etc and not getting warm...
 
Mine has just arrived, looks like a stunning monitor compared to my old screen but I have a single green stuck pixel right in the centre of the screen which displays on a black background :( :( :( :(

So say after playing a game, you can't feel any warmth from the rear top vents?

actually yeah just played for a while and it was quite hot when i put my hand on it afterwards, don't think you need to worry about it tbh.

dude replace it then? :mad: as soon as possible. although there are ways of fixing stuck pixels, i wouldn't bother with a brand new monitor.
 
Will ring them tomorrow morning of course, slightly disappointed but then I've gone with a dell monitor for their support too so let's hope they play ball.
 
Dell refuse to replace the unit (1 day old) with a brand new replacement because the original order date traces back to March 2009.

Slight disappointment in this monitor is now turning to anger :(

This is why when I buy an LCD monitor, it will be with a pixel guarantee.

Can only suggest you ask for an escalation of your complaint with Dell, and stress that you have only just received the monitor. I stand to be corrected, but I believe a warranty starts from the day you receive the product, not from when you order it.

I thought Dell had that dead pixel free guarantee effort going on?

Taken from their site:


"During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state. The visible result is a fixed pixel that appears as an extremely tiny dark or bright discolored dot. When the pixel remains permanently lit, it is known as a “bright dot.” When the pixel remains black, it is known as a “dark dot.”
In almost every case, these fixed pixels are hard to see and do not detract from display quality or usability. A display with 1 to 5 bright or dark dots is considered normal and within industry standards."
 
mines showing the amber light on the on/off switch even thought its switched on and working, very odd, used to be blue :-(

Tried a different dvi cable and powered it on and off
 
1 month, 3 dell monitors, two with a single stuck pixel (green and red respectively) and I've finally got one that appears to be perfect! :)
