Are you inside or outside of the 90 limited new replacement warranty? I just read on the Dell forums. If you are with in 90 days of the new purchase. They send new replacements. If you are outside the 90 days. They send you refurbs. And if that is the case. Chances are you will never get the unit you are looking for.
I just called in for another replacement and a replacement is coming in on Friday. I questioned them on their quality assurance and they said there's nothing they can do about that and they have their own standard of backlight uniformity and they will approve the monitor if the bleeding is not too serious.
However, I can't really stand the bleeding because as you have said, as long as you found out about it you will start paying attention to it every now and then it freaking annoys the hell out of you. That's the sole reason why I'm still trying to get it replaced.
I have to admit though that my current replacement unit's bleeding is not as serious, it still has quite an area of bleeding on the screen but it is pretty weak, hardly noticeable unless you pay attention.
