Hi. I have purchased a DELL U2723QE brand new for office use. I am total noob considering monitors, but I see those light dark areas on the bottom of my panel. I might be picky but they ARE visible. I tried to capture them with my iPhone camera. They are hard to see on the original picture, but if I reduce the expose a bit, you can see them quite well. Such areas are not visible on the left side of the panel.

Is THAT normal or rather within the tolerance limits? (see pictures)

I also have the feeling that on the right side, on the last 5 cm stripe the DELL panel is a bit more yellow. Maybe 5% or so. It is so subtle that my iphone camera is not able to capture it. Even

When I compare this panel to my notebook panel (B140HAN02.4), the B140HAN02.4 seems to have better whites. But again, I might be just used to it. I am kind of disappointed with the DELL monitor. Am I right?

I don't know if it's normal for that model, but it's not normal in general, so if it bothers you, I'd return it and get a different model.

Slight color uniformity variations are common.
