Hi,

I apologize for the inconvenience caused. To assist you better, please post a snapshot of the smudges that you see on the monitor.

Meanwhile, do you observe green or pink tint on the monitor? Also, ensure that there are no electromagnetics devices like microwave nearby.

Also, you can try resetting the monitor settings to original configuration. Please follow the steps below:

1.Select the Menu button.
2.Select Menu.
3.Select Other Settings, and then Factory Reset.
4.The screen will display the words Auto Adjustment in Progress.
5.Once done turn On and Off the monitor and check.

Please reply.

Thanks and Regards

Its hard to see in the snapshot, but you can see the wavy discoloration. There is a very slight pink tint, that is exaggerated by the camera shot. Most of the tint was uniform and was calibrated out, but the pink is not a problem. The discoloration looks to me like it is in the screen material. It is easier to see in person. Resetting the monitor does not have any effect.

Post some pictures with an all white and all black background.

you can't see them when I take a picture with all white or black... these crazy scan lines show up and you can't tell what anything is. Taking a picture of it with a camera is not very scientific.

Run the monitor Built-in Diagnostics.

still see the marks. They were most visible with the grey, the other colors a little, and the black not at all. I still think it is discoloration on the inside of the screen covering. Is this not common at all?

I've got a subtle background variation in whites- greenish at the left, pinkish right.  Factory reset didn't help.  It's ~6" from bookshelf speakers, but moving away didn't help.

U2410, only a few weeks old.  

The u2410 is a good performing monitor, but it is built cheap and not to last. Not only that, but Dell puts no identification numbers on the u2410 and Dell does not keep your order number so you are out of luck if something happens... As I have found out the hard way. I would suggest to anyone reading this to stay away from Dell monitors. It takes days to get a response, and when you do, it is vague and they ask for information that does not exist to prolong the process so you will just give up.

Do not buy a Dell monitor!

Hi OWPDesigner,

I’m sorry for the inconvenience you are facing and can understand that it must’ve been difficult for you to find the Serial Number on the monitor. For your convenience please find the picture below which will help you find the information:

Please reply in a private message with the Serial Number.

I see that this thread is very old but I am currently, and have been having this same issue with this same model of monitor.  What can I do?  I will attach pictures below.

As you can see, it's not easy to see the lines on a white background.  But very easy to see with Gray.

I have figured out that it is monitor burn-in. Yes, just like from the days of CRT monitors. Screen saver does not help. I have since then learned to stay away from Dell monitors.

Well I'm willing to work with Dell if an exchange is still an option for me.
