I wanted to get Dell S2240l monitor as it's IPS but, it was not in stock and the dealer told me that Dell S2440l is sort of the same monitor with a bigger screen size, I could not do a lot of research then and I got the Dell S2440l instead.

When I plugged it in at home, I was a little shocked to see the display quality and found out that its's not IPS but VA panel that this model is using and backlight bleeding as well, pictures below:

The whites looks a little pale, I know there are different presets available but even the display of my Dell 14'' LED laptop looks better, is that the general case?!

I spoke to him and he agreed that it's a different panel and he is sort of ready to take it back, so my question is, is there a significant difference between the display quality of the two?

My primary usage is not gaming as of now, I spend a lot of time doing research work, reading basically... after 4-6 months I might get a GFX Card for gaming needs, but yeah that's just recreational stuff nothing hardcore.

What do you guys suggest shall I do? Get it changed for Dell 2240l? at this point I cannot really spend anymore money to look for a different option unfortunately.
 
The 2240L is AH IPS while the 2440L is not IPS. if you don't mind the reduction in panel size the 2240 is great with minor back light bleeds. Also you may get one or two dead pixel, but running the dell utility in the menu option removes it.
 
I haven't personally tested the displays mentioned here nor have i looked at it even once so i can't really give you any personal review
But i would suggest that you get it replaced with a DELL 2240L,AH-IPS is the newer technology and even though you won't get the viewing angle's found in an E-IPS panel it's still a good buy @9K
