Whats up with my monitor oO

Ok, I have a dual monitor setup (x2 24") and one appears to be very slightly darker....

They are the exact same monitor too.. Acer V243H

The first thing I thought when I noticed this was to change the brightness settings, but then noticed the little power LED on the darker screen was also a lot dimmer than the brighter screens LED. So I guess that rules out software/calibration issues.. :confused:

Must I send the monitor back or am I missing something here?

Ive tried switching the power and DVI cables over, but no luck...

The power on LED is dimmer than the other too? Faulty power?

Hey Selachi,
Yeh exactly..faulty power? well I'm not sure, I have swapped power cables.. didnt see any change

You sure there isn't an option for the LED brightness too? I can customise the brightness of the power LED on my Samsung monitor, might have just come with a different setting from the factory/got changed by someone, then send back by dsr, and them you got it? Or has this only recently been the case, not ever since you bought them?

If it's very minor, it could just be that its come out the factory differently. Try calibrating using a website like http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/?
