I really like this monitor so far and I am interested in buying one.
But I heard about this white glow:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOgxo-WsFHg

I don't know if it is really a problem, I usually play in the dark.
During the day it is not as dark, but it is during the night.(Obviously)

I mostly play games, and some After Effects stuff.
But games mostly.

I want to hear from some Dell users how this monitor preforms in gaming.
Should i buy it, it seems good, except this white glow...

Thank you in advance :)
 
didnt watch the youtube but what is meant by white glow? if its a glow coming from the edges of the monitor then its backlight bleed and does occur on some dell monitors. some people live with it or try and fix it. some people go with another model.

if by glow its a very strong backlight which doesnt dim enough then there isnt much you can do except buy a model without such a bright backlight. no person should be using a monitor in the dark in any case if they value their eyes.

Watch the youtube video to see what I mean by white glow...
I dont believe it is the backlight bleeding.
How is this monitor performing in gaming is also what I would like to know.
 
that little white dot on the middle-right side of the screen? it looks like either strong light reflection from a source behind the camera or stuck pixels (but appears rather large for this).

if this is not what you are referring to i'm not sure what you are trying to say.
