DPD damage the box so bad that I wasn't prepared to keep it! so I tested it as Ocuk said to do, and they sent me a replacement on Saturday/today, And will collect the Faulty one on Monday. Which also had a dead pixel view able from about 6 feet!

Weather you notice it or not, When you paying £450+ for a monitor you'd expect perfection!

I can understand dead pixels, back light bleed, scratches, dents but a tiny gap where 2 parts of the chassis join, which you won't notice unless viewing from a certain angle and at a very close distance just seems odd.... It reminds me of the time when the htc one m7 was released and people were giving of about there being a gap between the speaker and glass screen and that they could fit paper between it :p :o
 
Fair enough if it bothers people.

All I can say is don't ever get one of the 21.9 monitors, they have a noticeable gap all the way around the chassis/assembly of the monitor and the actual panel/bezel:

I think my faithful dell 2405fpw has started to die, noticed a big patch of clouding and its started to emit a high pitch whine infact its now the loudest component in my rig :(. So question is what to replace it with? The contenders are dell 2715h, dell 2716dg and the dell 3415 ultrawide. Iam only a casual gamer really, use my pc for browsing web, listening to music, editing photos with lightroom and ps.

Is that really an issue though? :confused:

Do you actually notice that in "normal" usage?

Mine is the same, there is a slight bulge in the bezel. Does it bother me....not one bit!
 
Finally got to unbox mine.

Looks like its been dropped (probably the courier at a guess) as the corner of the screen is smashed and the box has some damage.

Had cancelled my plans for tonight so I could play about with it as well.

Have started the RMA process....

Hope they can get it back asap. Sorry for your troubles mate
 
I ordered a new Dell monitor last Friday, and it is due for delivery today. I received an email this morning telling me it would be delivered between 2 and 3 pm, and I could watch its progress, so I did. I live in Macclesfield, and I could see on the tracker the driver was dropping of a lot of parcels in the town center, about 10 minutes away, but as my parcel was 70th, I was was a bit surprised when the time said he would be with me in about 3hours and 45 minutes, but then I have just looked, and he is no longer in the town center, but just off the coast of Turkey !!!
Wow, is he in a hover jet, should I be worried ?
Seriously it is just a funny glitch I expect, but I do hope my monitor is not buried under 70 parcels, it will be squashed.

Well it arrived on time, not crushed, and works A1

I must admit I procrastinated over buying a new monitor for several months due to concerns around QC, but after 7 years with a very good Samsung 23 inch Syncmaster, this is simply amazing. I have downloaded a profile from earlier on in this thread, and the colours are, to me, brilliant.
If I look very carefully I can see the faintest trace of vary pale bleed along the bottom, no problem at all. I note a guy has had a pixel go after it initially had no fault, not sure if I could face a dead pixel now ;0)
I am using a KFA2 GTX 670 oc ex 4gb which is giving me up to 120 refresh, which is the most windows 7 will let me set the refresh, looks like a GTX 980 may be next.

Now I'm ****ed. Survived the temptation this long but just decided to buy one only to find its gone back to £499! At that price I can wait. At £429 Dell would clear-up in this market as it was an exceptional price.

Gibbo - PM me if you want to 'sneak' one to me at yesterdays price ;)
