U2413 ordered this week, received rev A00 (current rev is at least A02)

I purchased one last week and got it today, Sept 10, 2013.  It is rev A00, built in July 2013.  I am told Dell resets there rev numbers sometimes, for unknown reasons.  I understand one of the symptoms of the earlier problem was ghosting, which I do not see on mine.

So what was your reply????  Should I worry about my new one also being an AOO, with a July 2013 manufacturing date?

Chris M. of Dell told me that he'd been told we needed to order from Dell Home in order to be sure of getting the latest version.  So, I returned the one I'd ordered through the Dell "membership" program and re-ordered from Dell Home.  So, I was again surprised when Dell Home sent me a Rev. A00 unit with a manufacture date of July 2013.  At that point I couldn't believe they'd still be making Rev. A00 units in July and Chris subsequently confirmed they weren't.  He said he'd been told that the factory is not changing the label but they are "fixing" all units on their end. Perhaps they actually did reset to A00.  I tested mine and the USB 3.0 works fine and the inverse ghosting is not present.  So, I'm keeping #2 (the one made in July 2013).  Now it looks like the manufacture date -- rather than the rev number -- is the best way to make sure we received the improved units and not the early revisions with the problems.  I'd say your A00 with a July 2013 manufacturing date is probably fine, like mine is, but you should run some tests on it.

Unfortunately, my A00 from July 2013 manufacture seems to have the same problems discussed elsewhere for that generation.  If they fixed it, I fear it was not universally fixed.  Mine will be going back I think.

Just for the record, I ordered a replacement for my unit and again got a Rev A00 manufactured in July 2013.  However, this one seems to work fine....not ghosting or color distortions.  I am keeping it and happy with it.

So second replacement doesn't suffer from these problems? Can you check for ghosting in all presets ( standard, custom, AdobeRGB )

Few members here confirmed ghosting but not in all preset modes.

Don't know what to think. maybe waiting is the best option.

That is correct, I don't see any ghosting in my second unit despite it being a rev A00, with a July 2013 manufacturing date.  I checked the presets you requested, and several others.

@ Chris M

I just purchased (black friday) 2 U2413's.   First one came today with a manufacture date of May 2013, Revision A00.

I'm very hesitant to open this and have a monitor with problems.    I'd like to get this replaced for an A02.

Also, should I have any problems using this with the forthcoming MacPro via mini-display?

We cannot pick a specific revision number when exchanging. But, the newest one released in April 2013 is a new part number, XTXXK, and it is A00. The old part number, FJMKT, has revisions A00, A01, A02. So you do have the newest version (May 2013). We cannot speak to apple proprietary hardware and software because we do not test on it.

That sounds good.   I'm waiting on the new MacPro - supposed to be released this month.    I'm mostly using it for video editing.

Reassuring that the version I have is actually the new one.

Tesla1856,

The displays team said that when ordering New from the Dell Sales site, it defaults to the new part number XTXXK. Now the Dell Outlet is a problem. You do not get to choose, you get the next one in the queue.
