I liked this monitor so much i bought me a 2nd one. But the color difference in the NEW one was noticeable OUT-OF-THE-BOX and both at FACTORY settings. So i immediately thought this was a hardware problem and asked for a replacement. The replacement monitor had the same thing (above picture).

Few months ago, replaced my 1st U2412m twice due to another issue and the 2 replacements (refurbished) had the expected colors (white blue tint)

Has anybody purchased this monitor recently and noticed this? It will probably be hard to notice except your scenario is close to mine (already had a 1yr old monitor)
