I just received the replacement unit. They sent me a refurbished unit. It came straight from the manufacturers in the Czech Republic just a few days ago. I saw the shipping forms on the box. It says revision A01, made in Czech Republic and it has a Refurbished sticker on the bottom of the monitor.
The previous unit was manufactured in October 2010. This one says July 2010.
The results:
- no dead pixels
- when viewing the screen with black image and slightly from the left(about 15 degree angle) there is a visible pinkish-purplish tint on the right side of the screen (mostly coming from the bottom corner), although it is less noticeable compared to the unit I sent back.
- when viewing black image from ever so slightly to the right (even just 5-10 degree angle) there is a very visible pale yellowish light on the left bottom corner of the screen. it is much stronger than the tinting on the right side and I believe that although the pink tinting on the right side of the screen is better with the replacement unit, the pale light on the left side is definitely worse.

...What to do? Send it back again?
