Does this monitor use the new A02 panels that fix the back-light bleeding and high-pitched noise that some of the older models suffer from? Dell has reported that the older A00 and A01 panels have these issues. It should say on the back of the monitor which ones you guys are selling. Thanks!

This information does not appear on any of the rear "tags", nor does it appear to be hidden within larger serial # type codes...

No back light bleeding problem and no high pitched high pitched noise with my two monitors. Normally I am susceptible to hearing the high pitched whine of electronic components and these monitors have yet to show this type of behavior. YMMV.

I was at Best Buy for a special event, and there was a Samsung rep there. He told me the A950 is still there flagship model. The differences in the two are back lit vs. edge lit LED's that why the b8000 is so slim. While the b8000 has a faster refresh rate (240 to 120) the a950 has dynamic contrast where the set is constantly scanning to give better blacks. Oh, and I think there's one more HDMI port on the a950 than the b8000 if I remember correctly. I did ask the rep if there was a 9000 series coming out. He said there is one in the works, but wouldn't say when. I'm thinking late fall in time for Christmas, or next year in the spring, but that's a guess. If anyone knows a exact release date for the 9000 series please post. I'm leaning toward the a950 for a few reasons better blacks because of the dynamic contrast scanning, and on the b8000 I did notice while watching at Best Buy the set did bleed light from the edges in letterbox. (The black bars weren't completely black. Kinda bugged me.). $4000 vs $3600 for the a950 plus three yrs. interest free at Best Buy this week. I may pick one up, unless Amazon has a better deal going.

No, I didn't resolve it. I tried 3 different ones, and they all had the same noise. Let me know if you end up going with the same model from a different store, I'm interested to see whether this is a problem with Amazon's batch or the entire line. It's too bad everywhere else is so much more expensive than Amazon though...

I had the same issue. The problem was caused by color bleeds of Cleartype anti-aliasing of screen fonts, amplified by the monitor's higher saturation. I was able to reduce the issue by fine-tuning the hell out of Cleartype (to minimize blue/orange bleeds) and calibrating the monitor using color calibration device and software.

Not all plasmas, I am not sure yet why but I have a similar issue too, did not care to check if it was a various coloured noise or just various shades. I DO NOT have it on my other Panasonic professional plasma though.Either it's HDMI cable or just HDMI connection )I use DVI on others - or this TV has more faults then I initially thought...The worse thing is greenish tint vs older pro plasmas which may not have this deep of the black level but are all more accurate in my opinion. I had 2 of these before and haven't noticed this issue just now - also if you display a window on a gray screen you can notice horizontal smudges at the hight of the window border.

This monitor is a lemon. The parts to repair it cost more than a new one. Check out the Dell 25 or 27 inch monitors (you'll need the soundbar attachment).

From Dell's web page: "The U2312HM monitor comes with 3 years of Advanced Exchange Service(3), a Limited Hardware Warranty and Premium Panel Guarantee."The Premium Panel Guarantee is: No Bright stuck pixels, less than 6 dark pixels. All during the 3 year period.Like others have already stated, assuming it's new, not refurbished.Also, the Amazon 30-day return/refund/exchange if unopened/unused... and/or the policy set by the individual sellers using the Amazon store front. Check exact terms if not ordering directly from Amazon before buying.

Hi, I ordered one not more than a month ago and did infact receive Revision A03 ( as advertised ). And yes, for me the bugs were fixed i.e. unacceptable back-light bleeding, ghosting etc.

Maybe they're phasing it out or coming out with a newer model or product. I won't recommend this particular model, even though I have the same one. It started giving me a Service needed display as soon it was almost a year after purchase. Then have to pay another $139 to have it fix. A whole lot of wasted money for a crappy product they claimed is the best. Just my 2 cents.

I have never had that problem. It is probably just your particular monitor. You need to contact Amazon and they will get you another or do something to help you out.

I didn't get that on this monitor, but I've had it on other Acer monitors before. contact Acer and they should honor it under the first year warranty as a screen panel defect.

Yes & that is the version I own. Some people get confused with the B1 in the name, even a YouTube reviewer that I've seen. I believe that the company intends to release different types of monitors & the B1 refers to a type, not version. They should drop the B1 nonsense or just call it B1.

If you did read my review, the colors are good AFTER you calibrate the monitor properly with proper equipment. Ofcourse the older TN panel can not match the IPS panels in colors, but the IPS panels are all currently (the affordable ones anyway) 60Hz. My previous monitor was an IPS monitor and after calibrating this properly i prefer this BenQ, but i think mostly because its bigger. So when you get your monitor, the colors are off, after calibration, theyre great. However do some research, maybe you dont really need a 120Hz panel and there might be something else out there for you, but im more than happy with mine. Mine: Gamut coverage 97.7% sRBG Gamut volume 115.2% sRBG The results are great.

I saw the BNC,s marked one and two but I have never explored monitor 2. I have six small pictures all on one monitor, What I do notice that the more videos running at one time causes the picture quality to drop a lot and the monitor puts out a lot of heat possibly because so much information is passing thru all at one time. For what I am doing picture quality is not important, only that all sox videos are all running. Sorry I could not help much.Garry

Thank you all for your comments and tips. Ive just exchanged the monitor for another unit and the replacement unit does not have the same first start/powering on flickering. Btw, i tested the original unit on a ps4, 2 diferent desktops, and a laptop each with their own cable but the result were the same. In the manual it stated that flickering is "normal" due to the nature of the LED backlit, and call support only when the monitor no longer power on due to the flickering. (...?)

All indications are that yes, this monitor works with the Display port (1.2) input BUT I have been reading in the Dell forums that these monitors may have a bug from dell manufacturing. While using display port 1.1 all seems find but when trying to daisy chain displays and enable display port 1.2, the monitors become undetectable. Here is the rub, I am NOT using display port, I am using DVI cables supplied by dell and I get the same issue where intermittently a monitor(s) disappear and just can not be detected until the dvi cable(s) are removed from said monitor(s) and replaced - This is terrible. Finally the monitor in question just died and will not power on. I now have to send the monitor to dell to be fixed. Finally, I switched back to one of my older 22" LED monitors to use with the second working 27" Dell and now IT is exhibiting the same behavior - God help me.... In sum, Is the monitor worth it? OH My, yes it is! It looks Fantastic! BUT make sure your purchase some luck and patience because it looks like there are firmware issues on these monitors and the fixes are slow in coming and may require that the third party video card developers may need to tweak their drivers to fully work with these monitors. In the development/manufacturing world this would be considered as a debacle and now I am in the middle of it. Sheesh...
