Dell U2711 - Is the screen really this bad?

by ChongDOTcom Aug 3, 2010 3:36AM PDT

Hello,

I've heard people on the the web complaining how bad the anti glare (matte) coating on the screen, but I figured they were exaggerating. I mean, professional websites give it phenomenal scores of 90+/100! Yet mine arrived yesterday, and I can't stand the screen! It's foggy, kind of like steam on glass all over. It's apparent on any color, especially on white. I can't possibly believe that it's supposed to be like this, as it is totally distracting and doesn't even provide a clear image. Is mine just defective, or are the people reviewing these monitors insane?

The sooner you yelp the sooner the return process can get going.

I sent an email to them this morning.

Thanks for the reply. So it's fairly obvious that my display is just defective and doesn't normally look fuzzy and sparkly?

It varies a bit from state to state but in California you had 3 days to exercise your rights to return and get out of the deal.

There are no Dell folk here so get on the phone fast.
