Sorry for some reason I couldn't write the post on the actual post creation thing so I'll write it here.
I've got one screen with a more yellowey white and another with a more greyey one, I already had the yellowy one replaced because I thought that grey was the more "natural one", however this hasn't stopped the problem leading me to believe this could be a GPU problem (Gigabyte 5850 OC). I'm using DVI connections and yea, no idea really why the two monitors are different (both are completely new).
This happened with my old dual screen set up two however the yellowing was much more prominant however the old screens one was older than the other by probably a year or so, therefore I just gave it a miss because I thought it was aging related. (NOTE: the 2412s are being used with a new computer set up so newer graphics card too).
I just bought 2 new U2412M monitors and one is more yellow than the other also. I have tried to adjust the colors but cannot match them precisely. I would assume that they would be the same on default settings. Hope someone can give us a clue as to what is going on.
No two monitors will be exact. Use the monitor OSD -Auto Adjust, then OSD -Other Settings -Factory Reset -Reset All Settings. Then post pictures of the monitors side by side here.
Same problem here. The 2 monitors were ordered at the same time. Both plugged using DVI on the same card (EVGA GTX 570 HD). I switched the 2 DVIs on the video card, same color on the same monitors.
When I updated the drivers for my video card it fixed the problem 95%. There still was a slight difference, which I was then able to manually adjust to an acceptable difference.

I couldnt auto adjust due to the feature in which only VGA links can auto adjust (using dvi) but I did reset to factory settings again.
Using the same blank white screen i found on google images i took this photo
