Well, I spent a LOT more than 30 minutes reading it and was looking for individual posters. I'm sure they could've been spoofing new names if they REALLY wanted to, but there were probably at least 50 people with hideous leakage on the edges and 1 totally leak free, and a few that were content with minimal leakage. It has been identified as a manufacturing problem due to the fact that not all the monitors leak, and yes, dell will exchange them... however you will not get a "new" monitor when they exchange it (Dell only swaps out damaged new monitors with refurbished ones), and the chances of your getting a "refurbished" monitor with leakage are pretty good since they've only been out a couple months now and for the most part have been returned solely for leakage. Apparently they are not doing anything to the monitors which are being sent back for leakage before they send them straight to another customer as the people posting have gone through 3-4 monitors now since november. The monitors which seem to have the worst leakage from Dell are the 2005FPW's followed by the 2001FP, however the reported leakage on the 2001FP was fairly minimal in most all cases, so I'd reccomend that one if you MUST go with a dell branded Phillips LCD panel (hint, hint). Personally I use a Samsung 710T and have absolutely ZERO complaints. Well... ok, the stand could be better.
