Dude...are you out of your ****ING MIND ??? Whats wrong with getting a new monitor ? It's so much better than getting this ****ed up one repaired.
Edit: Unless when you said "NEW" it meant a totally different model and not a S2409. If you get one better than S2409, then agree. If they're replacing your ****ed up one with a "BRAND NEW" peice, then all the better

think positive man.
If the new one does not satisfy you, then we'll discuss on that. till then
B+
Now What...!!!
Recieved ST2410 instead of s2409W, which is 600 bucks cheaper than 2409. This is what I was cribbing abt..understood..luck goes both ways..
This lcd with white bezel at the back is quite good looking. has all the inputs of 2409(DVI, HDMI, VGA). color reproduction wise it is similar to 2409.
Again had a chat with DELL A.S.S and they said they will send one more tommorow with the same part number of s2409w.
The strange problem which I noticed with this is suppose if more than half of the monitor is covered with dark colors such as dark blue, black..the brightness automatically reduces. It becomes Dull. I dont know whether this is a feature, but I didn't like because if u r viewing a web page the brightness oscillates between light and dark backgrounds.

One more update -
They have sent a Refurbished S2409W....Dell A.S.S is awesome..refurbished...U must be Kidding me...
I have used for only one day and they send me a refurb....I never thought this could happen with Dell. Daily I am spending 30min - 1 Hr with their CC. I need to repeat the same story with 3 to 4 people every time and they transfer me to another section after hearing the whole story...
As I informed before ST2410 also has some brightness issues..the brightness keeps fluctuating between bright and dark backgrounds on the screen. Suppose If a web page has black graphics(more than 40% of the screen)..the brightness is dull else it is bright.
But the problem comes when there is a combination of bright and dark graphics in the same page the monitor brightness flickers.
Is there any way to give their monitor back and get my money back so that I can buy a Benq or Samsung.

AFAIK they usually offer refunds within the first 30 days, if you're having consistent issues with your monitor.
Their replacement policy has always been to offer refurbished monitors. Though in your case since its 1 day old, it does seem odd.
BTW how many Dells did you buy :huh:

1st Point : The box was way bigger than the regular.
2) There was no standard packaging(no power chord, no manual..nothing)
3) The stand is already attached to the monitor
Finally there is BIG sticker on the box " Refurbished Item "
Any one could easily tell it is a refurbhished Item.
