I got this display today. And dark corners are the only but obvious drawback.
Is the camera exaggerating the darkness or are they really that dark? If they are you should send it back.

Yes, it's camera's effect too. I'm not photographer. But in really it's still noticeable. Here is more exact picture:
Hi guys,
I got an U2415. All OK, but this glow on the right bottom corner is very bad.
I will send it back.

I'm already on my second U2415 and both had the glow that you see. I don't think it is going to go away with another replacement. The glow kinda varies depending on the angle that you look at the monitor.
Seconded.Agreed. I have tried many 24" panels. The glow on the u2415 is on the low end.
And what is manufactured date of your display?Yes my dark spots are almost exactly in the same places as yours. Granted with the brightness turned up a bit it isn't that blatant but you can still see it when reading text on lighter backgrounds.
And what is manufactured date of your display?
Yes. And another owner's display I was talking about was produced in August too. Perhaps Dell changed adjustment or something else in September...August 2014. Rev 00. I believe this is the same as yours.
Seconded.
Our office ordered 8 U2415's and 7 of them have less IPS glow than all ~10 of our HP Z24i monitors. They also have less IPS glow than my own BL2411PT., which I cherry picked from three different units.
I want to test my monitors and take pictures to post here. What's the best way to illustrate the glow and dark spots?
That is good news! I don't think you would have been very happy with the panels on the u2414h. The ones on the u2415 are much better.
With the Response Time setting now switched up to the 'Fast' mode, response times had improved a little to 7.1ms G2G average, not quite as fast as the 6ms G2G spec listed. However, this was at the cost of some noticeable overshoot which was probably too high to make it practical for most uses.
More IPS glow than the U2414H panel
Does the U2415 have some kind of film over the screen when you get it? I mean, other than the anti-glare coating.
Both of mine have kind of reflective dots near the top left corner which looks like a protective film when it's peeling off of a screen.
In my experience, transportation can really fuck-up a monitor. I opened an older U24 model and trightened the screws around the display and all the bleed that monitor had was gone instantly. I think they get loose from transportation (came from 1000km away by truck, where it was without any bleeding).
Also took off the anti-glare coating; amazing colours and sharpness now.
You're over exaggerating in saying it's "much better". The reviews say it's a slight upgrade in some areas, but to expect pretty much the same thing. The panel doesn't even reach the advertised 6ms spec according to TFTC:
And they mark a con as saying:
The main draw with this monitor is the aspect ratio, not because it has a "much better" panel. I personally think it's a waste of money over the p2414/u2414 unless you need the 16:10 resolution, which a lot of people love.
My u2414 has this also. I think it's a mark from a manufacturing machine or something along those lines. All the replacements I swapped also had it. It's very small and barely noticeable on mine though.
How did you take it off? Any pics?
have you tried just resetting the screen to factory defaults to see if that fixes it?
