I would hesitate to buy a Dell unit at any price.

Update:

Maybe I should give you this to ponder:

The article clears up why tinted panels goes through the Dell QC and I
can confirm this since I've observed it myself on a U2412M.
The current models have the look to produced by the same subcontractor.


I have two Dell U2410 monitors. One I bought new and is probably about
five years old. The other I bought used earlier this year and is
probably about two years old. They are basically the same monitor but
have different alphabetic suffixes (which I can't locate as yet). Both
are regularly calibrated by Spyder 4 and once they have warmed up you
can't tell one from the other. I don't know what you are bleating
about. Have you any actual experience of a properly calibrated Dell
Ultrasharp monitor?

I've had no complaints about their Ultrasharp monitor series, nor
about their monitor service (other monitor type). My monitors are lit
by fluorescent tubes. I understand the U2412M is lit by LED. I don't
know whether that makes any difference.

Sounds like you're a sales clerk. Not necessarily anything wrong with

five years old. The other I bought used earlier this year and is
probably about two years old. They are basically the same monitor but

Yes.


What was the monitor and what was your experience?


I suggest that you read the link above. I can confirm the problems
posted. You might have an other experience with Dell.


I have read it and done a bit of digging. The complaint of the
original poster which started the thread to which you have referred us
was using a Dell Ultrasharp display 2007FP. Now, as one of the
subsequent posters pointed out, the 2007FP came out no later than
2006. This is at least two generations of screens behind the current
range. The complaint was dated June 10, 2014.

Further down D Fosse wrote, in response to Tim Lookingbill's post of
June 11, 2014 in which Tim stated "which had warm/cool color temp
non-uniformity across the screen" - "For Dell this is "within
specification" and they will not replace a unit that has this". No
indication of what model screen this policy refers to.

But if you go back you will find Tim Lookingbill's problem was:

" ... my previous LCD was a factory direct refurbed Dell 2209WA
replacement for one I bought from some unknown sole proprietor on
Amazon which had warm/cool color temp non-uniformity across the
screen. The refurbed lasted 3 years before it exhibited distracting
oddly shaped dark grid like artifacts in the lower left corner. I
bought the LG at Best Buy because I wanted to avoid all the
shipping return hassles due to quality variances within the same
model".

So, whatever the complaint was about it has only the most tenuous of
connections to the policy of Dell with respect to their current range
of Ultrasharp screens.

Your opinion appears to be misguided, at best, or mischievous, at
worst.

Sure you have. The reason for why Dell QC can't be trusted was in the
post that I linked to. EOD.
