It’s been close to a year since I purchased my 24″ Windescreen LCD from Dell. It’s been very nice overall, except for a few quirks:
- While backlight bleeding is consistent, it’s bright enough that watching movies with ambient lights turned off that it washes out the color.
- Emits a high pitched squeal (kinda like when a CRT is turned on, but worse) when ambient temperature is slightly warm. Squealing becomes more consistent with dark pictures.
And the latest addition: it squeals when it’s off! Turning it back on and off again stops it temporarily. Today’s noise reached an all time high score when I actually heard it while I tried to sleep.
Now the dilemma: leave the monitor on in standby mode 24/7, or call Dell and screw them in a friendly manner?
