Spent a lot of money on the monitor, and I think it may be faulty.

It's hard to describe, but, there are these.. "lines" "refreshing" horizontally, it's very very irritating and is most notable on dark backgrounds but easily found on light backgrounds. I've tried all sorts of setting changes none seem to fix it. There is also light leaking in several places, small leaks, but leaks.

Does this merit a swap at OcUK? I live 10 mins away so I can go up today.

I'm no expert with monitors so I don't know if this is something I should have been expecting, but on my 42" LED tv I'm using as my main display atm, I've never ran into this, nor have I on any other display, but I've never had an LED Monitor until now. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: This isn't my graphics card as I have two displays connected and it only happens on one. I've tried switching the cable to the other port on the card, makes no difference.

Tried another cable?
If another cable doesn't help and you're that close I'd say there is no harm in trying at least, just drop by them describe the problem and ask for a replacement?
If they refuse to then DSR might not apply in this case since you're so nearby and they do have a physical shop from what I understand.

Just tried a brand new cable that was in the box with it, same problem. I'll take it back today, I don't see how they could refuse :S.
