I'm deciding between the 2408WFP that seems to be a bit of a "classic." I found some refurbs on an obscure Dell Financial Site for about $250. Or I can buy a new Dell 21.5" Ultrasharp (U2211H) for, also, $250. The 21.5" has good pixel density and it's a much safer purchase, as I don't have to worry as much knowing it's new. The 24", I'm considering just off its strong reputation, but that it's refurbished is making me nervous. I've purchased refurbished accessories in the past, but never...

Has anyone had issues with back-light bleeding on the left hand side of the monitor. I've read many different theories and its really not an issues when doing normal every day task. I was just curious if this was something that could get worse and if I should be contacting Dell for a replacement or just leaving it be because they'll all come back like that and just enjoy the many great things about the monitor

I bought a Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP in January 2009, and have since gone through four. I am in desperate need of a good quality monitor, but I keep on having issues with the Dell ones. Issues with Monitors are as follows: #1: Was very very hot. #2: Was even hotter than #1. #3: There were ghosting effects when viewing fast moving, dark images. #4: Same as #3. Anyone have similar issues?
