Hi Guys

I'm looking to replace my Dell 24" with a new monitor, the 24" has served me well but I now want to upgrade it to a 27" screen

I have been looking at the following Dell UltraSharp U2713HM 27" Widescreen LED Monitor though after some research it seems there has been a major fault with lighting bleeding through the left hand side of the screen, after digging deeper and looking on other forums one of which had a post on the subject very in depth but was 185 pages long with users complaining about this issue.

Do we know if this issue is fixed, don't really want to place my order and find I have an issue. From what I can see most issues were around the April/May product dates
 
Thanks for the replies, I would also like to play with Lura Croft all night but need to sort out this monitor first

My PC is used mainly for gaming some movie watching

I might have to go for the Asus PB278Q

Well I thought just to cover all the bases I would call Dell directly, after being transferred to 5 different departments I explained my question and was put on hold while he went to check what the current revision is on production to fix the light bleeding issue, he has just come back and believe it or not he said the following
Place the order your supplier they might have a new revision in stock if they don't and you have the bleeding light problem then you can RMA it back to Dell and have a replacement screen sent out you can do this as many times as required until you get a screen that does not have this fault

Friend of mine has decided to go with the Asus he is really pleased with it, said it looks fantastic

So maybe he has made my mind up for me
 
Thanks for all the help, today I placed my order with OC for the
Asus PB278Q 27" Professional LED Multimedia Monitor

Will let you know how I get on
 
Well guys been using the Asus screen for over a week now, using at the stock settings, I did need to turn the brightness down but I have not overclocked it and I must say Arma 3 looks stunning BF3 also looks good but as we are about to get Beta BF4 next week lets see how this looks with the new Frostbite engine. Only thing I could say against the Asus to my old Dell would be in regards to the stand/base not the same quality but the image on the screen is mind blowing
