Larry,
When you plug it in with VGA do you get a faint line down the left edge? Almost looks like a faint shadow?
Reply I have two 2408WFP's (and tried replacing one) and experience the exact same problems as you are describing.
If you place a magenta rectangle on a black background you will be able to see the red and blue shadows even more clearly (go figure). The red shadow is on the left and the blue shadow is on the right. Both are about a pixel in width.
I am in contact with Dell support right now. We'll see if they make good on this mistake of releasing the 2408WFP with so many obvious problems.

I am returning the 2408 for a full refund. I will wait to see what Dell does about it.
Then I'll try it again.

Hi -
What about your other 2408 is that perfect? No problems?

Both have the exact same problems (and so did the replacement I tried).

I returned my 2408. I didn't want too, I'm a big Dell fan but I couldn't live with the pinkish.
I bought a 245T and like it. No blown out reds.
However, I did also notice pinkish tones but they do go away after warming up. About 15 to 30 minutes.
Perhaps, this is a side effect from having such a large monitor... however, with the 245T they do go away. I am going to keep it.
I bought the 245T from Dell too.

I just got a 2408WFP yesterday and so far it has been perfect.Reply
