U2410 Green/Pink Tint Issues

Noted. FAQ edited per instruction from the Dell Legal Team.

 I got sick thinking about how much money i have spent on greenish pinkish monitor. To get better I have arranged full refund.

Tint gets worse with time!

 In all, this has been rather traumatic experience.

Adio, Dell monitors!

Cheers,

Marin

I give Kudos to Chris M, worked with him when I had my 2407 and 2408 issues, hes been fantastic

My current U2410s (I bought 12) have only had two poor units, they are all AO1s, now Im in the shuffles of switching them out, in my case its one side is about 50% contract of the opposite side, so I can say the monitors at A01 seem to be far better than the A00s

Don't bother. Do not buy this monitor. Do not wast your time, effort, and money.

I bought this monitor last November (2009) and it has very visible red/green issue. I asked for a replacement which Dell quickly supplied, but it had the same problem. I kept the monitor but wish that I hadn't. I thought I would get used to it but it still bugs me. I am dissatisfied with the quality of this monitor and I wish I could get a refund to replace it.

It seems like this particular forum posting has been active since October 2009, and nothing has still been resolved.  I was really tempted to buy this monitor, but with all the complaints I have, I am skeptical about doing so.

Chris, I was wondering if there are any updates from the Dell Hardware team on this issue?  If there is no viable solution in place yet, it would be nice to know so I don't end up purchasing this monitor and finding myself in a position of constantly exchanging them.

Thanks. 

Would you recommend any other monitors that have a similar price tag?  I was looking at the HP one, but it seems to be quite a bit more expensive, which unfortunately is out of my budget.  I need a monitor that has the variety of inputs as the U2410 along with an IPS panel (preferably not a cheap e-IPS, but an H-IPS).

Thanks. 

This is not the place for me to make alternative recommendations. However, if you scour the web I’m sure you’ll find plenty of options. I also recommend that you go to a store where you can actually see the monitor in action.

If Dell were to provide me with a replacement that did not have this problem, then I might be satisfied.

don't know where you are, here in Alberta, Memory Express is selling Samsung T245 16:10 monitor, it is S-PVA screen. price is $640. I did not check that computer, but I don't think it has this green-pink problem.

So after having a look at the FAQ, it seems like Dell doesn't care about these customer complaints.  According to them, everything is within spec.  This honestly sounds like what Steve Jobs is doing with the iPhone 4's antenna problems.  Call your customers stupid and say there is nothing wrong with it.  Well it looks like my mind is made up, and that is to stay away from this monitor despite it's awesome connectivity and price.

I really doubt that they are using a different panel since the price difference for many items fluctuate A LOT from country to country.  For example, a 13 inch MacBook Pro costs $1249 in Canada, but in Pakistan, the equivalent price would be around $1800.

As for the monitor, it's a huge disappointment for me.  This is the EXACT type of monitor I have been looking for, but my dreams were crushed by this tinting problem :P 

Yep, LG/Philips is trashing big time what is IMO one of the best LCD technologies out there. Even the new iPhone4's "retina display" (a high resolution IPS panel) has decoloration problems.

BTW: in my country the U2410 got a big price tag this days (adding almost 1/4 of the value). Its only here? Perhaps Dell is using better panels on this model?

Where did you see details about a Revision 02? Is it available online somewhere?

Yep, but I'm talking about fluctuations on the same country.  Last month the monitor was about $3.400 and now its $.4.200. That is coincident with the apparition of some A02 revisions built May 2010. Thats why I'm suspicious.
