I bought a 2001FP LCD from Dell recently and am generally pleased with it. However, I noticed some issues in the display and never having had an LCD display before, I'm not sure if it's typical behavior or an issue with the display I received. When viewing a very dark area on the screen, in a few spots on the screen the image appears brighter than the surrounding areas. These aren't well defined areas, like a certain chunk of pixels, but more like streaks on the screen where the display seems to be brighter. It's kind of like the black is being washed-out in these areas. This isn't really noticeable until looking at something very dark or black, like the black bars around a DVD, since the black being displayed isn't a uniform brightness.
I currently have the monitor hooked up via DVI, however I tried VGA and the "streaks" are still there. I know it's not my video card or computer because I still have my old CRT and that looks fine. I thought that maybe this is just typical LCD behavior, similar to how pushing on a laptop screen distorts the image. However it's rather distracting to me when watching movies and such. I figured I'd get some oppinions before calling Dell and spending 4 hours on the phone with tech support. There seems to be plenty of people with this LCD in this forum, anyone have similar issues?
