1905FP Backlighting issues

Well, I recieved my 8400 on time, Good job Dell, from all the beatings you guys take daily ya'll certainly did your part, thanks. I do have a question about my monitor.
 
I recieved the 1905FP which is very nice, but I have noticed that in the upper left corner that the color is almost white on a blue screen and sorta washed out when I have a browser up. I have no dead pixels so, out of the 2 main discrepancies I have read about these monitors I have 1. Their is also a little bleed through of red at the bottom when I have the XP user log in screen up.
 
Question is , Think I should just use the thing and Forget about it, or is it worth pursuing getting a replacement. I kinda feel as though it should be close, to perfect for the amount we pay for this but I guess I very well could get another monitor with no lighting issues, and dead pixels which I find more annoying.
 
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
Mike

Chances of your getting a 1905 without backlighting issues are slim,consider yourself lucky if you have no dead pixel problem.

KO,
I'm kinda thinking the same. But I just might try. The  unit that will be sent in place of this one will be a refurbished unit which I really don't like but that is the policy I guess.
 
I have just finished Downloading new Video card drivers from the Dell site. the ATI page also, has some very recent drivers for the X300 SE.

If your original monitor was shipped less then 21 days ago, insist on a new one.
You can keep exchanging for new replacement within this period for any reason.
Best of luck
