Dell Backlight Issue?

Hi guys,

I bought a Dell U2913WM from OC about 2 months ago and overall it's been fantastic. Lately I've began noticing the brightness of the backlight is randomly changing up and down by a tiny amount. It's kind of hard to describe, it's very subtle but can happen a few times a second and then be ok for a while.

Is this probably a faulty screen or could something else be at work?

dynamic contrast?

Checked that. It's greyed out.

Also check 'Energy Smart' is disabled in 'Other Settings'. And that 'Smart Video Enhance' is disabled.

Both off. It happens on both DVI and HDMI inputs. It can go for a day or 2 without doing it at all and then can constantly do it for an hour or so. Seems to happen more after first powering on.
