UPDATE

i called Dell back and when i got transfered to a supervisor i cursed him out badly, and I finally got done what I needed. it is pathetic that i had to curse the guy out just to get results.

here is the situation. any advice?

1) received a alienware monitor broken, screen works, outer physical damage

2) received a second replacement model and did not receive the shipping label from DELL in the replacement model box like Dell said I would receive

3) i called dell to discuss returning the original broken monitor, and have been transferred 6 times from dell tech support, to alienware support, to customer care etc..... i am not exaggerating transferred 6 times and then a "WE ARE SORRY YOUR CALL CAN NOT BE COMPLETED, PLEASE HANG UP" on phone transfer number 7 i got disconnected what the hell!!!

4) during the brief phone conversations i had with dell bouncing back and forth from India to America they could not even find my order number or account number on file and I was reading it off the official Dell email. Anyone know where the Express service tag is on this monitor [accessories.us.dell.com]

5) i am thinking of just forgetting about this and just keeping both monitors and seeing what happens. as of now i have only been charged for 1 monitor. i figured the worst thing that could happen is dell/ alienware charges me for the second monitor. then i think that would be considered the date of purchase and i would have 21 days to return that monitor for refund according dells return policy.
should I call dell again and deal with their **** or just wait it out?


6) can anyone recommend any good 3D monitors with no or little backlight bleeding? recommendations of ones that are our or coming out would be appreciated, 22-27 inches preferred. thanks for all your help.

Nothing you can do except not buy a Dell anymore. Theres a reason they haven't been #1 in years.

I know the frustration but there really isn't anything else you can do. Just call back and see if you can get someone in the US that can actually help.

That sucks. I never liked Dell. HP isn't a better alternative (at all) but... Dell's laptops and stuff have been pretty crappy in my experience.

Just keep them both and wait for them to contact you, if they don't its their loss and if they do, well its their mistake. Why waste your phone bill clearing up their mess?

does HP have any 3D 120hz monitors? unfortunetly from the reviews i have read online say that alienware makes the best 3D monitor.

just out of curiousity is the HP support good, and do you have to pay extra for it?

Honestly just buy a different brand of computers. I mean I know how Dell is, I owned a couple before I gave up on them due to poor customer service.

Ask to be transferred right away to the highest person of authority they have available because you're sick of being passed off to people repeatedly. And never buy from them again.

Yeah it is horrible when customer service is poor, but just turn away from their products..

I have had a few bad experiences with Dells service as well. Good luck is all I can say.
