Could it be that you are using different hardware (dell settings) or PC calibration profiles?

+1 for amazon...especially prime. Anyway, I ordered a U2410 from some ebay place and it was supposed to be refurbished, but it arrived with a very defective screen. so, back it went. I kicked myself for trying to save and should have bought the unopened new one from amazon from the start. It was also free fast shipping...Anyway, it probably is known already, but I would avoid such purchases on fleabay.

I would second that regarding stuff from Ebay. I've purchased electronic stuff and it's more often than not got some kind of issue with it. Sometimes fairly serious.

I calibrated my monitor with an old spyder express 2. It's done a good job and I'm really pleased with the image and colour.

Just ordered 3 from Amazon, as you say worth paying a touch more for piece of mind!

Dell all the way, I have 2 24 inches 7 years old ones and they still keep on going. Also will soon change them to 27 dells

I tried to save a bit of money and recently purchased an Asus IPS monitor for home use (Asus PA248Q); I wish I would have paid the $80 difference to upgrade to an equivalent Ultrasharp. The Asus works fine, I ended up keeping it, but the Dell's I have in the office are much nicer to work on. The dark grey to black tones are where the Asus falls short. There is also a slight light leak in the bottom right hand corner of the monitor. I only mention this so others don't make the same mistake. Stick with the Dell Ultrasharps.

This might be a rumor, but I've been told by several past colleagues that the dell ultrasharp monitors are the same inside guts as the apple cinemas, just a different outer body...but that was around 6 years ago!
