Hey folks,

I've had the Dell 2408WFP since the day it was released and never had an issue with it until today. I was watching a TV show on my computer (through hulu.com) and noticed these green pixels scattering about during the video. So I tried replicating the problem in other windows, and it shows up at certain tonal values no matter what application I'm in. I dragged the afflicted windows into my iMac screen and the pixels were not there. The pixels would "move around" based on the tonal value being displayed, which was really noticeable in the video.

I took some photos (sorry for the poor quality). Does anyone know what might be the problem? After I rebooted my iMac, things seem to be normal again, but I'll report back if the green pixels show up again.





Thanks.
