You think thats bad? I ordered 6 30" monitors from Dell.

I had to send 5 of them back. Backlighting issues, vertifcal lines, dead pixels, you name it.

Their refurbs are junk

I then bought 6 new 3007WFP-HCs. 5 worked flawlessly. The last 1 had to be returned 3 or 4 times. It finally came in yesterday and is finally mounted. Flanked by my 17's .... thats 35 megapixels - nearly 7 feet by 7 feet of viewing area. Driven by 2 computers, with switches for the Zins boxes.

Can't say I recommend Dell but at least they have a reasonable return policy (even if it took me what, 2 months to get 6 working monitors?).

Dead pixels RARELY ever fix themselves.
