yes i am seeing the same thing and it is very annoying.

i think others have posted here with the same problem. it appears to be 'functions as designed'...

...and i will be returning mine next week. i cant take it, its very distracting for photography work.

Hello,

i am glad to see that the problem with horizontal lines is not only a problem of the NEC 2080UX+.
AFAIK the Dell 2001 FP and the NEC 2080UX+ have the same panel type (LG IMHO).

The customers in germany (me included) are very upset as we saw the horizontal lines in the display.
Every NEC 2080UX+ have this bug!

There is a TFT-related forum which calls prad.de ( http://www.prad.de/board/ ).
Although it is a german forum, there is an english area.  

look at this screenshot -> http://www.huno.net/cstm/rbek.gif
This are the lines you are talking about, aren´t they?

I gave my NEC 2080UX+ back to NEC, in trade of the NEC 2080UX (without the "+").

yes that appears to be the problem, though close up like that it seems that there would be vertical lines visible as well.

i have not contacted dell yet, i have to do so quickly...

I have a replacement 2001fp after the first one had the backlight issue at upper right.

The replacement is perfect.  No horizontal lines.  No dead/stucks eithers.

Send yours back before your 30 days are up.

can you tell us what the date of manufacture and rev level for your replacement display are?

mine is rev A00 built in oct 2003.

thanks

My replacement 2001fp is a A00 October 2003 B9D

The original with the backlight issue was a A00 September 2003 B9D

Incidentally, the replacement arrived in a vastly oversize box with just the styro packing material from the original form-fitting box.  No peanuts, no airbags, no bubble wrap,  nada. The styro wasn't even taped together which would have helped keep the monitor seated in the styro.  There was probably 8 inches free space between the styro pieces and the sides of the way too big box.  Miraculously, the monitor was still between the the two pieces of styro although not seated.

All this and still arrived working perfectly... odd.

Anyone experience this with a replacement 2001fp?  I am giving Dell the benefit of the doubt by trying to believe it was hand checked for defects before being sent out.  Still though, why not send out in its original formfitting box?  I was told specifically the replacement would be brand new, not a refurb.

well... that's the same rev as mine... so i dont think they did anything deliberate to fix the problem, it must be just luck.

the date/rev info is on the back of the monitor, near the bottom. there are 2 stickers, one with the date and one with the s/n and rev level.

i dont think this could be related to video card. in fact i am using this on a powermac G5.
