Spec me a monitor(s) again...

Yea, I would also vote that you send back the XL2410T. This is a 120Hz monitor with known issues (such as overdrive trailing and backlight bleeding) and because of these issues BenQ pretty rapidly introduced a replacement (the XL2420T) which is MUCH better and hence why the XL2410T is so much cheaper.

That said, I would still test it out and see what you think (maybe you won't notice any issues). Since DSR allows you to fully test an item before returning it to the seller - just so long as you take reasonable care of it while it is your position. For reference you need to notify the seller with 7 working days of receiving the item to initiate DSR and you pay for the return shipping (though the seller pays the full refund plus initial postage costs). At a guess sending the monitor will cost no more than £20 - which IMHO is worth it for changing from an XL2410T to a XL2420T.

If you do DSR then it is worth telling the retailer what you are doing and ask them what return method they recommend. You may get lucky (especially if you say you will be ordering the replacement to them) and they may offer to pay for the pickup themselves, though they are not obligated to. Even if they don't they are likely to give you some good ideas for companies to use - as presumably they have had other customers in similar positions before.

Thanks for the advice!
I will probably order the replacement before i've sent this one back as I have the funds spare as the waiting for the refund then ordering is painful.

I ordered it from OCUK and I DSR'ed my parents monitor which I bought for them from OCUK but have no memory at all of actually posting it, just packaging it!

So i'm finally trying out the BenQ.

I must admit the novelty of height adjustment and portrait mode is great fun. Not had that before.. It also feels much bigger than my others, I did worry that only an inch and a bit wouldn't be noticeable but it is!. I've not noticed any issues yet, backlight bleed doesn't seem to be an issue, its not noticable to me at least. I grabbed some settings off of a youtube video and it seems to look alright, but will root around for some more so I can get the best out of it to make an opinion.. links welcome!

I did however order the Samsung that was on offer today, I may return one once I can compare them, but then again I don't believe you can adjust the Samsung like the BenQ.
Maybe I can DSR both and get the better BenQ as it is like this one but better and actually a full 24" not 23.6" (or something like that).

I hope OCUK wouldn't mind me DSR'ing two monitors :|

I returned it because I pretty much bought it on impulse due to the deal. Stupid mistake. Not realising it doesn't have a height adjustable stand and won't support Nvidia 3D without messing around.

Yeah i'm stupid! I'm sure the Samsung is a great monitor though.

I'm going to DSR the BenQ and get the better BenQ. I'm settled on that.
 
Yeah, got a few screws n something left over though.. But as Lister says in Red Dwarf, always the way with DIY ey? :| Still works :p
