So i just received the 2310, after using the Acer G24 for the past 18 months or so i decided to give them a chance as i wasn't impressed with the G24 due to backlight bleeding issues.
Well, all i can say is backlight bleeds almost as bad on the new 2310.... FFS... i had read reviews from certain websites that advised bleeding wasn't an issue, either they got a good monitor or they weren't testing them as rigorously as i would have liked.
I was looking forward to playing Fallout 3 and the Saboteur - both games that are very dark and just bug the hell out of me when all you can see is bleeding around the edges.... i still cannot play these games on the 2310
I have tried calibrating it many times and cannot stop the bleeding.
The downside to it is that the colours aren't even as vibrant as the G24, so i now have the same problems of backlight bleeding with a monitor that is noticeably dimmer than the older G24.
it looks like the blacks are darker on the 2310 than the G24 but this just shows up the bleed even worse... infact i would even go as far as saying the bleed on the 2310 is worse than the G24.
i guess im going to have to wait for LED 120Hz before these issues get sorted....
Now for the joy of attempting to return something to Dell... oh im looking forward to this...
are my standards too high? for monitors that cost £370 I expected more.
