A lot of these IPS variants have some tinting issues. It's in all brands, even Eizo. So it comes down to return/exchange policy and ease of doing so until you get the lucky one that looks good. Dell for example was so overwhelmed with returns on the 2410 a couple years back because of this, that they changed their return policy to say it's not a defect.
You can find info about all of this on Google if you do some searching for IPS tinting, Dell u2410 pink/green tint etc.
I understand the Eizos, HPs and NECs have the issue as well, however, less frequent. It's assumed that there is better QC. Dell is selling a higher-end monitor like the 2410 for very cheap and obviously something has to give to do that.
QC is what it comes down to as there is really only 1 or 2 companies making the IPS type panels for everyone, primarily LG and then another I can't recall at the moment.
- It was a Sony+Samsung parnership called S-LCD. Sony just sold its half couple weeks ago...zarkonite
- Sony, Samsung make S-PVA panel tech. S-IPS tech is LG and Phillips.ETM
- Technically the Dell is an H-IPS due to a slight tech difference and a NEC licensed polarizing film.ETM
- So you can see the incentious nature of the industry and how much the same many of the 'competing' brands are.ETM
- true, it was for S-PVA... was it Chi Mei Opto then?zarkonite
- and yeah, I agree, it's about QC because there are very few sources for manufacturing.zarkonite
