    2005FPW Backlight

    Hi,

    Yes it's another thread about the popular Dell 2005FPW. I only just received mine two days ago (an A02 from UK) - no dead pixels woohoo! Unfortunately it has a bit of a backlight problem as you can see in the pictures below:



    I would like to know peoples' opinion on it and whether I should ask for a replacement - is there a chance that I would get a worse one, or is the bleeding already bad on my LCD? (I am not sure how bad it is compared to others).

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    I have the same monitor - it has one dead sub-pixel but I have not seen anything like that with mine!

    Yeah I used the default screen-saver in a dark room. The one on the right has a little more exposure, hence it looks pretty

    Ah, so I should be giving Dell a call on Monday...
