Also, is there anyway for me to know if this has been flashed with the latest firmware.

Read and follow the sticky, however I am not sure if people with A01 qualify for the replacement. Although I'd hope so cos I would want latest firmware too.

Anyway just follow the instructions in the sticky. Dell will send you a new one, you send back the old one in the box that the new one comes in.

Sorry for the newbie question but I have searched this forum and cannot find how to find the rev # of the monitor.  When I hold the "Menu" and "+" buttons when turning the monitor on then press the "-" key the number at the top of that menu says B01C18.  That doesn't look like everyone else's A00, A01 or A02?  Where is the rev #?

While I'm asking stupid questions I'll throw in one more.  I'm slightly confused on this whole "banding" issue.  When I run gradlin-v0.2-fs.exe I see red, green, blue and grey bars, the top bar of each color is like broken up with streaks of blackish bars while directly below that in the same color is a smooth line of that color running from black on the left side of the screen to bright appropriate-color on the right.  Am I supposed to be looking at the top bar of a color or the bottom?  Are both bands of colors supposed to be smooth?  Does that make sense?

Sorry, I know this has undoubtedly been asked before.  If you could point me at some explanations I would appreciate it.

I did not realy see any verticle lines in the gradients.  How large are they?  I can see some very fines ones, but it does not look major.  However, when using Front Row in Mac OSX I could see horizontil lines on the black to grey gradient(http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/frontrow.html).  I will be using the screen for photography, is it worth sending it in to be flashed.
