Had my u3415w less than a week, probably got 10 hours use on it (max)

Tonight the image started to artifact really bad, every other pixel was a bad colour, naturally i thought my Fury X was overheating, turned the PC off, left things to cool down and booted back up, same issue.

Switched to another screen using the same cables, no issues, back to the u3415w, same problem again, switched to another DP cable, same issue, then to an HDMI lead, same issue, did a monitor reset, same issue.

The screen displays the OSD fine, its just any input is broken.

Anyone had issues like the above before? I feel a rather angry trip to OCUK tomorrow, you simply don't expect an almost £700 monitor to go bang within a week.
 
Indeed!

OCUK proved to be easy to deal with, was nice to see the RMA process has moved on somewhat since 2005.

New monitor image is fine, minimal bleed in the corners, no dead pixels.
