You also have to get permission from the retailer and an RMA number before returning it, don't just stick it in the post without doing that. Read up on distance selling regulations. Also it only applies if you bought the TFT online, not if you went into the store. You will have to pay the return postage and you won't get your original postage refunded.
Best thing is to use the webnote system, say you are cancelling the contract to buy the monitor, that it's in re-saleable condition, and ask for an RMA number. It's not exactly a straight forward process though - I think it's fair to say most retailers don't like the new law and some will resist, and you may need to be very specific about your rights.
It's a real shame none of us can see any of these monitors in the flesh and working before buying them, that's the real cause of the problem. Nowhere has a good selection on display though, not even major high street retailers, whose stock is usually years out of date.
Also I think all LCDs have
some backlight leakage. If you trawled this forum for long enough you could probably find a quote for every monitor saying it had backlight leakage, and you could also find a quote by someone else saying the same monitor had no leakage. Just like with ghosting how some people will swear there's none on their 25 ms screens and others can see ghosting on their 2 ms screens. It all depends how picky you are, how good your eyes are, how forgiving and demanding you are etc...
So you can't see TFTs in the flesh and you can't absolutely rely on other peoples opinions or even reviews, which reduces buying a monitor to a bit of a lottery
