The only problem I could see someone having with this monitor at this price range is that it lacks an HDMI connection

Well packaged, no problems

Major problems, defective, but no problems with the return

The bigger problem however is that this display port NEVER works

The yellow tint is just a super annoying problem for me because when I saw the skin tones of a video I was working on, it was disgustingly contrasty and saturated and yellow/orange

The problem is the lack of HDMI ports :(, I had to buy a converter for my Macbook pro.

I hope that the seller reads this and remedies the problem!

Only drawback is the problem common to all IPS panels, it is difficult to get perfect black contrast

It was probably an uneven distribution of brightness / luminance, possibly a backlighting problem.

I wished it didn't have that problem since I really like the new revision (mainly due to the lighter antiglare coating)

Would like to know how to correct this problem.

The problem was quite intermittent at first.

Not everyone will suffer the same problem but, it's a possibility

I work in a very bright room with huge windows wide open in Hot TX and I have no problem looking at the screen and glare issues, of course there will always be a little glare but nothing too annoying and unbearable

No issues, no problems...

No problem with antiglare, white looks great, no light bleeding, nothing

Alienware tech support said there are no particular capabilities I am missing with plugnplay anyhow, so since the monitor works fine in this mode it is another negligible problem.

Now I know these seem like trivial, superficial problems, but I expected much more from such a highly regarded monitor that costs about $280 average (at the time).Overall, I'm happy with the monitor, but just beware of what it really is before you dive in

In other words this yellow tint issue is in my opinion a phony problem that stems from ignorance

Ah, if all my problems were this bad I would be living a truly divine life.

The only thing that corrects the problem is to turn the computer off completely.

The problem I had was flickering

I tried 27" monitors but in every case there was a problem with them - color desaturation, glass chips, LED bleeding, dead pixels, stuck pixels, defective ports, etc.

If I had it to do over, I would still buy one of these again and recommend the U2412M to others looking for a reasonably priced monitor with great performance.

This is revealing, since when emursing myself in reviews for monitors, I started to feel like the 2412M would be a 'compromise'

I'm not a techie, but I did need a big screen for work, researched what was out there thoroughly, took it all in, and landed on the Dell Ultra Sharp U2412M 24-inch

Overall, I highly recommend the U2412M as its the best bang for your buck for an IPS monitor in the $300 range.

We have developers and support staff using them and they love the U2412M.
