Hi everyone,

I've got a new DELL P2719HC monitor.
I've tested it on 2 separate PCs with different cable types.

The issue is that somewhere starting from the middle of the screen, all colors get a yellow-smoggy appearance (gets worse at the bottom of the screen).
Example #1

Example #2:

I've tried changing different viewing modes but the phenomena persists)

Please advise whether the monitor has some kind of defect or whether it's settings issue.

Thanks in advance 😌

These sort of things are difficult to show in pictures because everyone else's monitor becomes a factor as well.

Does the brown move with your viewing angle?
Have you reset the monitor's settings to default and then adjusted from there?

This could just be bad light bleed. Try adjusting the monitor a little darker so that blacks are closer to black. You may not notice the yellow/brown as much.

Does the brown move with your viewing angle? - No. It appears when sitting in front of the screen only.

Have you reset the monitor's settings to default and then adjusted from there? - Yes, no change
