It's going back but what does this mean?

The bar thing is contant, looks worse with blue! Love the monitor though, can't wait till I get one that works!!

Doesn't look right...chances are you'll love the next one though.

Yeah there was a similar effect on VGA at work I think (diff computer also) I just put that down to VGA not being so good

I'm really really gutted.

I can't believe some people have 2 of these things, that is just well unbelievable!

im guessing they havnt got the same prob, 2 of them would be huge wouldnt it. Id love one of those though, just have to be content with the 1 20" for the moment.

Good luck with the replacement.

You do need quite a wide desk. Mine have a small gap between them (not by choice, but I just can't get them positioned quite right) and they're chewing up 1.13m of desk space.

The stands have changed since I took this pic, I've got a pair of Neo-Flex Ergotron's now.

I've got three of these monitors, all perfect. You're just unlucky. Dell have released a revised version of this monitor now.

Oh yeah I know that lol it's still an amazing piece of kit, should get another on Friday/Saturday hopefully.

@Japp74. I took it from these very forums in the post your desktop thread. I'll email it to you if you want

That's not fair

Even that photo of them takes up near 1.13m

enable your trust account, put it in your sig, post it in this thread, check his trust in case he has his enabled

any of those would do

Well just thought I'd update you all and that I got a nice replacement screen. Not bad for £450

The new screen was only manufactured in Feb and is miles better than the other one I had (yes I know this one works!!) but this new one isn't as bright as the older model which is a absolute bonus. This is Manufactured in Hungary whereas I don't think the other one was - does that make a difference?

Might be time for me to look at a 2405, the old batch were (I belive) built in mexico. If the new site has improved them its possibly time to part way with my 2005
