I've recently got the W240D-PVA from Aria. I havent had any of those problems. The only gripe I had was I paid for 0-dead pixels and it had 1, so I got my replacement today and theres no issues that you have claimed with mine and 0 dead pixles. I just couldnt risk it, I had to have 0-dead pixel check on such a high spec monitor. When you signed for it, did you actually sign for it, or did you sign it as "Unchecked"?
