Hi All I have been reading reviews about different monitors ,and was looking at the Dell U2410 widescreen model ,and came across these 2 reviews which put some thoughts into my mind ,is this still an issue or as the 2 reviews state nothing to worry about ?
Review 1
I'm very picky about products I choose, and after TFTcentral reviews about this monitor were very positive, I decided to spend twice the cost of a TN 24" monitor for this IPS screen, and crossed my fingers that it wouldn't have green/pink tint problems that a lot of people have had with the U2410 (and also HP LP2475, as they both use the same LG display).
Sadly, within seconds of turning it on, I could tell that it had green/pink tint issues (the left side of the screen is green-ish, and the right side of the screen is pink-ish).
Definitely not good enough for photo editing (imagine trying to colour balance a photo, where you can't get the left and right sides correctly-balanced).
This is a common problem (http://en.community.dell.com/Search/SearchResults.aspx?q=green+pink), but *some* monitors seem to be OK, so enter the monitor lottery at your own risk.
Otherwise, it's a brilliantly-manufactured monitor, stand, and OSD.
Review 2
I was SO worried about buying this monitor after reading all the reviews and forums about the green/pink colour issues...
I decided to go with my instinct and trust what Dell said in their response to complaints that it falls within the test guidelines and, if you ask me, it really does!
Quite honestly, yes, I can see what people seem to have had issues with, especially when you load up a completely white background. HOWEVER, the green/pink gradient is SO unbelievably slight that I can't believe that the "casual PC user" has gone to the effort to complain about it!!
From what I've read, most of the complaints seem to have been coming from the photoshop community. i.e. the professional photographers who need a decent monitor to colour balance their photos before print.
Right, let's get real here people! I'm an amature photographer. I've got a nice Canon EOS Digital SLR and I'm an avid user of Photoshop to edit my photos. There is no WAY this monitor is going to hamper my attempt to carry out that process...
Quite honestly, if any pro photographer has the gaul to slate this monitor, then they AREN'T a pro photographer, because if they were, they wouldn't be spending 400 on this monitor. They would be spending 1400 on a Eizo monitor!!
The display is super bright, the colours are insanely vivid, the resolution is outrageous, and I have no dead pixels...
