Hi,

Got this monitor a few days ago but have many problems with it (REV A01 - FEB 2013).

First of all I got this problem http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/p/19502072/20345874.aspx

Some flashing horizontal lines appears after I turn on the PC. Not all the time, but have seen this twice now. Similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2BMLE5w5fo
It fades away after 5 to 10 minutes when it happens.

Sometimes the monitor goes black (no image) after a reboot or just starting the PC. To fix it I have to power off the monitor by pulling the cable as the power on/off button doesn't work in this case. Then I can turn on the monitor again and it will work.

Sometimes out of nowhere the monitor just goes black - it's not off put no picture. I have to pull the power plug to get the monitor back on.

I tried the monitor in a dual monitor setup where it also went black and the second monitor went from secondary monitor to primary monitor. So that doesn't work either.

Power off the PC doesn't put the monitor in power off mode. It just goes black and is dead/locked - but still on. I can't use the power button or the menu when that happens.

Accessing the menu only works about 30% of the time. Usually nothing happens when I press it. I have to unplug the power first before I can access the menu when it goes dead and only sometimes that will work.

My question is - what are the chances if I return the monitor to get a new one that all these problems are gone?

PC, windows 7 64bit, 2x Nvidia Titan, using DVI cable that comes with the monitor.
