New 1905FP - Something not right....

Hello,
 
I ordered this monitor on 20/12/2005 and it arrived on January 6th.
(order number 334325151 if it helps)
 
It started off being a bit weird first time i plugged it in and displayed black as purple stripes, but when the windows xp loading screen appeared it flashed again and went to black.
 
From then on it was fine, until the day after.
 
Booted up and was the same (purple stripes), but it didnt change back, over time it has got worse, now even solid colours and whites are flashing and things seem jerky and slow and pictures have horrible lines running through them and are out of alignment.
 
I really dont know what to do, i have tried the monitor in 2 computers and it is the same, i have tried factory re-sets but it changes nothing.
 
I've been saving up for this new big monitor for ages and was really excited when it arrived, now i just feel dissapointed and have a headake after looking at it for a few minutes.
 
What can I do, is there anyway someone can come and look at it?
 
Thanks alot

    Call Dell and arrange to have the monitor replaced.

    What cable are you using? What resolution are you running at? Have you loaded the Dell drivers from the CD? How is your monitor being displayed in Device Manager...eg as a Dell 1905FP? What is your graphics card and can it support the resolution of the monitor?
