The upper right corner has a slight blue tint to it. It seems to lessen when I degauss the monitor. I'm guessing the monitor was stored or shipped next to something magnetic?

Will this go away after time? Or should I exchange my monitor?

I just very slight, more of an annoyance. Not sure if it'd be covered by warranty. :/

When this happens to my stuff I usually get a magnet and wave it around the area a bit. I dunno how healthy it is for the monitor/tv, but it works for me.

To figure out whether you have an ongoing problem with interference, you have to move the monitor to another room and operate it there for a while.

Well, it's blue no matter where the monitor is, and it's getting worse. It gets more blue the longer I use it.

I called Philips and it turns out I they have a 48-hour turn around warranty. They're shipping me a new monitor with prepayed return label. I just take out the new one, pack up my "old" monitor, send it back.

That's a pretty damn good warranty service.
