I noticed that my newly acquired UP2414Q shows some light leakage on various parts of the display, which is noticeable when editing photos with dark parts, and also when watching video. Please take a look at the photo I took while running the monitor BID test (without any kind of monitor input)

Was this UP2414Q purchased new directly from Dell Greece? Or did you buy it used from a reseller? It was manufactured almost 6 months ago.

It was bought from a reseller. It is used in Greece and I would like to claim service from Dell Greece. The display was bought a month ago.

* Go back to the top of this Monitor Forum
* Open "FAQ Monitor"
* Open "Monitor warranties and instructions"
* Read the paragraph:
- 24" and smaller Dell monitors purchased from resellers (CostCo, Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, Buy.com, online store, etc.)

My question is, since this is a significant defect, am I entitled to a replacement by the local Dell branch?

Yes. That is what my FAQ stated...
* Because you purchased the monitor by itself from a reseller, you must follow these instructions
* Save the invoice from the store
* If you ever need a monitor replacement, you will need to contact Customer Service via phone (not Technical Support) for your country
* You will provide to them via email or fax a picture or PDF of the original invoice showing us the purchase date, and your information. If you lose the original invoice, we will not warranty the monitor
* You would provide the following data to the Customer Service representative if you ever need a monitor replacement within that 3 year period derived from the 20 digit alphanumeric serial number:
Brick or Online Store:
Monitor model:
Monitor 20 digit alphanumeric serial number:
[Your]

Shipping address:
