Color quality important for pre-production photo editing, and the real estate helps with video editing, some of which occasionally goes to broadcast. Better than I had expected it to be from some reviews. Native color really quite good and very close to corrected with X-Rite tools. Very quick warm-up to full brightness, and while I haven't measured actual amp usage the heat generated, indicative of power consumption, seems lower than other 24" monitors I've used. I like the way the stand works - large stable heavy footprint, ad the height and rotation adjustments easy to use. Cable access is as usual a bit unwieldy, but the cables thread nicely through a large slot in the stand keeping things neat back there. Quick access to all adjustments through the touch buttons works extremely well for me though it is easy to accidently turn them on when moving the monitor as the lower corner is where one just naturally takes hold of the case - just have to get used to it and no big deal to turn of the controls when it happens. A little pricey even used (though used very lightly it appears), but you do get what you pay for sometimes.Read full review
The monitor is excellent. The controls are easy and sensible. The display has sharp resolution and the colors are amazing. The reliability - based on previous Dell products - should be good. There are two things that were postive surprises. The stand with which the monitor came was simple to adjust. After one attaches the stand to the monitor - which is very uncomplicated - all one has to do to adjust is simply move the monitor 'up or down' or 'tilt' and the monitor will stay where it is put. The second surprise was the ability to hook a USB cable (supplied) from the computer to the monitor - per instructions. That allowed 4 other USB ports to become active and is helpful when we run out of USB ports. The only complaint I have with the equipment is the lack of documentation. The two surprises were fully realized after spending a considerable amount of time on the phone with Dell. Because the instructions were severly limited, one had to rely on trying to convince Dell they needed to help you with out a viable service tag number. Dell is into some documentation (service tage number, express number) showing one has a right to ask their staff questions without paying a fee. (This doesn't apply to their sales agents) I am a big fan of Dell - but this is one item that would almost having me buying my next computer somewhere else. I am looking forward to using this monitor. My hobby is photography and I am thrilled with the simple changes to the display from which one can go from sRGB to Adobe RGB. The monitor is pre-calibrated accordingly. The switch is triggered with some buttons - almost hidden - on the bottom right hand corner of the monitor fram (on front). The serial number is in a 'pull out' from the back of the media card reader on the left side as facing the monitor.Read full review
I swapped out a pair of 2408WFP monitors for these. I got three and cherry picked the best two and am really happy with them. They come with calibration printouts from the factory and my own testing with an i1 Display II and EyeOne Match 3 gave very similar results. All three were very good but one had slightly more color error than the others. Overall color accuracy was excellent. These are IPS panels so there is a slight green-pink shift across the screen but not bad enough to be a problem, even with two sitting side by side (right pink butting up against left green). Text on these is excellent, maybe even better than my reference monitor (NEC 3090), and the colour gamut is also excellent. They don't get max rating because they lack internal color correction tables (at least accessible to me, the factory clearly can adjust them), and their colour gamut isn't quite as good as the 3090. For around $400 - $500 I don't think they have much competition. The NEC 2490 is probably better in some ways but more expensive and the 2690 and 3090 are better but a whole lot more expensive (4x for the 3090).Read full review
I purchased the monitor to process photos in Photoshop. I've profiled it twice using the Eye-One system. Both times the contrast has to be set at 100 and the brightness lowered, once to zero then next time to 7. You can adjust the RGB values but it's a little tricky figuring out what menu to use. Both times I've profiled my gamma comes out to 2.3, color temp 6500K, and luminance is okay. I didn't buy the monitor from Dell, and trying to figure out if the monitor is under a Dell warranty is a frustrating exercise. The place I brought it from says it is, but I'm not sure Dell thinks so. Hopefully it won't be an issue. I saved a bit of money buying from a non-Dell source, but because of that Dell pretty much doesn't want to recognize the monitor or you as the purchaser. I do like the monitor but it's too soon to say whether I would recommend it or not so I'm checking the "I would not recommend" box because there is no option other than yes or no.Read full review
The quality sure outweighs what I paid. Great deal on a great monitor. My old eyes are getting pretty bad, but this monitor running 200% is bold, clear, and very easy for me to see. I'm very happy so far. If it lasts as well as it performs, I'll be happy for a long time.
