Just ordered my Dell UHD 24 Monitor UP2414Q

Well, what the gently caress.

This morning I come back to PC rebooted (SORRY YOUR JUNK RAN INTO A PROBLEM AND BLA BLA). I disregard it since this Intel DH77DF in my gaming rig is the most unstable piece of shit I ever used.

Then left monitor (DP1.2) goes into sleep mode and fails to wake up. I'm also used to that, so I just power cycle it, expecting to see all my fking open windows move to the right monitor and then having to spend few minutes rearranging them. Well, this time power cycle doesn't do crap. So I reboot, and
W T F. DP1.2 screen now ONLY shows up as 2 split 1920x2160 screens and no amount of dicking changes this.

So yeah. I changed nothing. But now I can't get the left monitor to show up as full 3840x2160....

Somewhat good news is: I enabled DP1.2 on the right side monitor, and now i have this:

It gets better.
raged at the above arrangement, I went to nvidia site and downloaded latest "ODE" driver
333.11-quadro-tesla-grid-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe released 05/12 and installed it, doing "clean install" (clearing all settings)
Lo and behold, I now have two 4k screens running at 60Hz from a single NVS510 http://i.imgur.com/pdxjmFb.png

I'm interested in a 4K monitor for the PPI, and wouldn't want to go above 24" - ideally I'd want around 20" but that isn't very likely to happen. So at the moment the Dell is the only option.

However, still need option to switch to 1920x1080 at times, which seems to be impossible if using DisplayPort 1.2 & MST to get 60hz@ 3840x2160. Would it be possible to use HDMI and DisplayPort, from the same GPU, with the PC thinking it has two monitors attached, and then using the windows control panel / driver to switch one or the other screen off? It would be cumbersome but better than having to physically switch cables or change the mode of input on the monitor.

Anyone tried this with a recent NVIDIA driver?

Also - if you feed this screen 1920x1080 over HDMI, what does the monitor's scaler do - I'd hope for straight pixel doubling, no anti-aliasing.
 
timecop, I can confirm that the new drivers allow two UP2414Qs to be driven at full refresh from one NVS 510 card. Thanks for the tip! Now all I need is a driver that allows rotation...

aitoribarra, I guess you could use a Gefen DVI Detective or HDMI Detective to trick the PC into thinking it has an extra 1920x1080 monitor attached. (Oddly the NVS 510 drivers do not offer that resolution when the monitor is set to DisplayPort 1.2. They offer various oddball resolutions like 1600x600 which don't work properly. Turn off DP1.2 and you can choose 1920x1080.)

Unfortunately it seems that the UP2414Q's scaler adds some fuzziness when running at 1920x1080 resolution. I didn't get out the magnifying glass but I can see a grey bar along the side of a black line, for example. The T221 is better in this regard, it will give a true pixel-doubled 1920x1200.
 
Some notes from tests I did last night with the UP2414Q:

1) With DP1.2 enabled, it seems impossible to select a popular resolution such as 1920x1080, 1920x1200, 2560x1600, 2560x1440, etc. Instead, I can only select from really oddball resolutions like 2252x1072 etc (what the hell?)
2) With HDMI, the maximum resolution you can get with 60 hz is 1920x1200. Pick anything higher (like 2560x1600) you only get 30 hz.
3) With HDMI: picking 1:1 instead of 16:9 or any other setting seems to remove most/all input lag. Testing with Spears & Munsil 2nd Edition Benchmark Blu-ray disc and Arcsoft TMT 5, I estimate approximately 83 milliseconds of lag - using the A/V sync test pattern. I can hear the beep approximately 3 frames early compared to the video. This is inline with Toms Hardware test of about 100 milliseconds when they used their HDMI pattern generation (1080p, with LED lights as reference).

Basically, the UP2414Q is unsuitable for gaming unless you force 1:1 pixel mapping.

I haven't tested with the Gaming preset yet - I use the PC in a darkened room so it's pretty damned bright.

EDIT: I forgot to mention - I crashed the monitor several times. It really doesn't like being switched resolutions and inputs very much. I even had a case where it was 1:1 pixel-mapped on the LEFT side of the screen, but scaled up on the RIGHT side for 1080p! Totally bizarre. I also had a case where the left side of the screen was in sRGB and the right was in AdobeRGB, but color zoning was off. I had to manually turn on zoning, then turn it off again to fix it. This monitor has a pile of bugs in the firmware! :)
 
One more thng:

4) I am using a Geforce 670 card. I have to be careful to select resolutions from the PC section. If I select a resolution from the Ultra HD/HD/SD section, black levels are elevated - they will not be pure black on the UP2414Q. I am not sure if it is because I did a clean install of the drivers and didn't restore the HDMI black levels registry entry, so maybe that is why. Just something to watch out for!

EDIT: Yup, it's NVIDIA: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...i-and-getting-accurate-color-format/?offset=9
 
Rectal Prolapse, did you measure input lag at full resolution and 60Hz? Few people have graphics hardware capable of driving that resolution at a reasonable frame rate, but in a year or two it will probably become affordable. It might also be possible to run a game at 1920x1080 and do 2x upscaling in the video card, rather than the monitor (so the monitor is being driven at its native resolution and does not impose input lag).
 
epa, I did do a quick informal test at 4K@60hz and there didn't appear to be any obvious input lag with that AV sync test pattern. However, a true test would be to set up a video camera and check the audio waveform with the video pattern. I didn't do that.

One review site I read claimed there is 0 input lag at 4K@60 hz. I can't remember which review that was.
 
That's good news at least. It is possible to do upscaling with Nvidia GPUs and perhaps AMD too. I have a feeling the upscaling will also be blurry (grrr) but it would be good enough for games, and the GPU upscaling is unlikely to introduce lag. With these monitors, it seems the best approach is always to drive the thing at full resolution - they consider anything less to be beneath them ;-[
 
Yeah right now there appears to be no way to get GPU upscaling to 4K. At least, with these NVIDIA 337.50 beta drivers, I wasn't allowed to set 1920x1080. If I try to create a custom resolution I end up having to hit the reset switch on the PC as all video outputs go dead (I still don't know if that is the NVIDIA driver screwing up or the monitor).

The only way I can game at 1080p@60hz or 1200p@60hz is to use the HDMI input. 1:1 mapping is a must for removing input lag. :(

4K gaming without SLI is possible on older games - turn off AA and you'll get 60 fps in left4dead2 and UT99, at leaast. :)
 
Just ordered one, from research I've done if you run games at 95 percent of the visual quality instead of 100 percent ultra that you can't really generally even see without zoomed screenshots, it runs 50-60fps with a gtx 780 overclocked well at 4k in almost everything. I'll see how mine holds up once the UP2414Q arrives, if it doesn't I'll keep my eyes out for maxwell announcements ;).

Hopefully these drivers will help with some odd issues I've been having:

http://www.techspot.com/news/56781-...adds-full-4k-single-tile-monitor-support.html

If I power on my projector, that is on one of my 670's outputs, while the PC is coming out of standby, I can never get the UP2414Q to ever display any image, on ANY input (HDMI or DP). In fact, the PC would crash when I do several attempts to switch inputs and also force NVIDIA control panel to try to make the pj the primary display. Was running 337.50 drivers before.
 
Dell has acknowledged faults with the A00 revision of the UP2414Q. Unfortunately, they will NOT upgrade the firmware to A01 on existing stock of monitors. I find this rather ludicrous - as then you'd have to buy the monitor, get it shipped, find out it is faulty, ship it back, and THEN they will offer you a refurbished A01 monitor. Huh? This is pretty bad customer service if you ask me.

http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/t/19536443.aspx?pi23185=25

BTW mine is A00. I have to rely on beta NVIDIA drivers to deal with the noted issues. It will be a while before I can be sure if these drivers will permanently solve them, or if i have to return this monitor for a freakin' REFURB.

Sounds like it's a use-case that only affects a small portion of users, and there are workarounds such as updating your drivers to the newer nVidia releases (which will go WHQL soon enough if the tag actually matters to you that much) which solve the bulk of the issue if not all of it for most people in that thread. I ordered one a few days ago and it's not due in until Tuesday because of the holiday, but you had me worrying there was some major problem with these when that's simply not the case. Running around spreading hyperbolic misinformation isn't going to help your cause with anyone here or there :p. I'm sorry you're having problems with yours and obviously I want to see you get them solved, but keep a level head about solving the issues. 5 months garnering all of 100 posts means alone that it isn't a widespread thing... posting things like, and from the wording I presume it is you...:

If only I had found this thread first before I ordered. This monitor is very finicky and it takes me several tries a day just to keep it functioning like it should. Very high maintenance.

I would NEVER had ordered this monitor if I knew about this, and I am advising a large and popular PC forum not to bother ordering these (24" and 32") monitors. They'll just get the defective monitors anyways, and everyone would be unhappy.

I feel like I've been conned. Not a good feeling.

isn't going to encourage them to work with you. They've offered a reasonable solution which is to RMA your screen for a free replacement both ways.

Dell has done this before with the U2711 A00 which had problems. If I remember correctly, people were asking for a recall, Dell never did. So you had to return one and hope you had a higher revision. This was 4 years ago, so this is normal Dell customer service.
 
Yes a few people in that thread have been given multiple A00 monitors instead of A01. It's kind of a crapshoot right now.

Also, the only driver that works right now is the NVIDIA 337.81 drivers to (mostly) resolve the sleep and wakeup issues.

And what if you don't have an NVIDIA card? GoldenTiger conveniently ignores this. Doesn't help that he thinks I'm using hyperbole when this is clearly not the case. My post is to bring the facts to bear, and if you want to exchange A00 for A01 you will get a refurb, although there is a slight chance you may get an A00 if there is a miscommunication down the line (I bet it depends on country).

My current workaround is to have the HDMI connected. Seems to prevent most of the BSODs I've been getting (with 337.50). I just upgraded to 337.81 so hopefully things will be better (it will probably only BSOD if I turn on the projector when the PC is in standby - equivalent to turning on a 2nd monitor I guess).

tronmaster, that's too bad about the U2711 - at least we can say that Dell's customer service is consistent.

I apologize if I hurt GoldenTiger's feelings - but I thought it was important that you all have this information - I wouldn't want to bury it.
 
Would it be possible to use HDMI and DisplayPort, from the same GPU, with the PC thinking it has two monitors attached, and then using the windows control panel / driver to switch one or the other screen off? It would be cumbersome but better than having to physically switch cables or change the mode of input on the monitor.

Also - if you feed this screen 1920x1080 over HDMI, what does the monitor's scaler do - I'd hope for straight pixel doubling, no anti-aliasing.

Damn, I missed the above questions.

1) You can have HDMI and DP hooked up from the same NVIDIA card at the same time. I am running Windows 7, and the behavior is a little weird. If both are attached, Windows 7 and/or NVIDIA will activate the screen for the currently selected input, and leave the 2nd and/or 3rd inputs deactivated - that is, they will not appear as selected in the Multiple Monitor screen of the nvidia control panel.

When you switch inputs on the Dell, windows will automatically deactivate the input you switched away from, and activate the input you selected.

2) Given the above, this can make it challenging to manually activate the monitor through the control panel. I've had issues where I would select it in Windows, but nothing would happen. But other times, I can activate more than one and it will stick. I am not sure what is going on here - it wasn't this flaky when I had my projector attached, but could be the difference between my projector always sending a signal, while the Dell 4K may not be?

3) If you use the HDMI input, the monitor will scale by default - check the Dell's menus, and you can see the option to select 16:9 or 4:3 or None for scaling. None = 1:1 pixel mapping. The other scalers appear to be doing some kind of bilinear or similar scaling - it is NOT pixel doubled (ie. nearest neighbor). So there will be the typical artifacts. You might be able to reduce the anti-aliasing effect by adjusting sharpness.

Keep in mind that if you don't use None/1:1, you may notice significant input lag (I estimate 80 milliseconds but I didn't do a formal test). Now, the odd thing is, last week I was sure the lag was very small, but I couldn't reproduce it.

As far as I know, GPU scaling doesn't work - you can't have the GPU upscale 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. But I haven't yet tried that with the NVIDIA 337.81 drivers.

I hope this info is helpful. At least you'll know what to experiment with!
 
Nvidia on gaming gpus handles only as special case for few whitelisted EDIDs for DP MST IIRC. No pleas could change stance on reenabling 2*n nvidia surround in drivers, and probably will not in future. Or if picture is passed to n+1 count of outputs,
 
Nvidia's stance on not enabling spanning may be partly explained by market segmentation. Quadro and NVS cards have "Mosaic" which I think lets you treat two display outputs as one screen. They reserve this for the professional cards and don't want to provide it for Geforce. This is annoying for T221 users too (that display has to be driven as at least two DVI outputs for two halves of the screen).
 
Ok so, I just started reading through this thread. And this is a monitor I really like. It is a some what affordable IPS panel. How do you guys feel so far with the monitor? Are you happy? Is the 24" size ok?

I am using a 2006 Viewsonic VX2025wm 20.1" LCD monitor 1680*1050. I bought it new when they first came out 8 years ago, when this was considered XHD lol.

I have almost narrowed it does to this 2414Q. I was also considering the Samsung 590D, and the Lenovo 28" TN 4k display. Although, I think I would prefer a IPS just because it is a much better display. And the viewing angles are more accurate. I have been using this current monitor for a long time. And it just does not look vibrant to me at all. I prefer my 55" 3D TV for desktop use, and even games. I am not concerned with scaling, or small text or DPI scaling. I want more desktop space! And, I have hardly any with this monitor. It will be used for gaming at 4K with a pair of 780's.

I do not know anything about monitors! I know a bare minimum.

The 28 inch monitors are certainly cheaper. I think the UP2414Q is a better buy for the better viewing angle and colours, and I prefer the smaller 24 inch size (makes it easier to fit two of them on the desk, heh). But I don't fully understand what you want it for - for games, or for more desktop space? If you prefer the 55" television for both desktop and gaming use, wouldn't a 4k television (such as the Seiki ones) be a better bet?

Well, I prefer the TV only because of the picture quality is much better. Now my monitor just seems Dull. I do not need a huge display. I will be using both just as much, gaming and desktop space.
 
Everyone just talks so much crap about a TN panel. So, I guess the 24" Dell IPS is the way to go. But, I belive it has been reduced from 10bit to 8 bit?

Easy there bud, easy. You talked about nvidia drivers so I talked about them too. Don't bring things up if you don't want to have them mentioned again. Also, you shouldn't refer to people in the third-person when talking about them ;), and yes you indeed are using hyperbolic emotional statements about your issue.

I'm boggling figuring out how you think you "hurt" my "feelings" :rolleyes: . I just called you out for way overblowing the issue. It's a free forum, you can post what you want, just don't expect people to always agree with you.

Do 4K monitors in general run very "hot"? Or is it just UP2414Q? I reduced brightness to 40, but compared to HP ZR2440W (at 100 brightness) it still feels like an oven.

PS. I did expect somewhat warmer screen due to the density of it all, but certainly not this.
 
I also noticed the UP2414Q ran pretty warm. The monitor I replaced it with, the Samsung U28D590D barely gets warm at all. What's funny is the 590D doesn't have any vents, the Dell does.
 
Hmmm I haven't noticed any real issues with heat - compared to my NEC 20WMGX2 it's nothing. :)

However, my brightness is usually at around 20. My room is light controlled, as it doubles as my home theater room (projector).

Definitely some strange issues with this monitor - half the time I have to power cycle the monitor when I turn on my projector, watch a movie, then turn off the projector. The PC is hooked up to my AVR, and when the projector is on it automatically disables the UP2414Q output. When the projector is off, the PC attempts to enable the UP2414Q, but half the time the Dell just sits there in standby mode. I have to power cycle the Dell to get the picture back. This is a revision A00 monitor btw, running 337.81 drivers.

Oh - and when the Dell does wake up properly and the picture comes back, maybe one in three times the left half of the screen is a different colorspace then the right half. My workaround is to change the preset to another setting, then back again!

I've never had a monitor crash on me before. Maybe I am so lucky none of the other monitors, TVs, and projectors I've used in my lifetime have done that before. :p Oh wait - I think I *did* have a projector "crash" on me a couple of times - fans run, but bulb never fired up. Had to power cycle it. Usually happens once a year.

Pro-tip: if your UP2414Q/UP3214Q is the only monitor attached to your PC, you will probably not have any problems. Maybe. Although you *might* need the HDMI input attached as well if you have wake-up-from-sleep issues still.

GoldenTiger: I respect your passion on the subject. :)

Other observations I hope you guys find helpful:

1) This monitor has white IPS glow. My old NEC 20WMGX2 has the purple glow. Not news for those who've had newer IPS monitors of course.
2) The anti-glare coating isn't that bad. It's far far better than the coating on the U2211H - that monitor looks grainy.
3) Color appears to be way more accurate than the U2211H. It feels a bit more accurate than my NEC, that I calibrated a few years ago. I'll have to hook up my i1pro to it one day - although I am reading there are issues with Dell's color calibration software. We will see!
4) Brightness above 30 has obvious backlight bleed on my copy. At 50 it is pretty horrible - watching dark movies looks pretty bad. But at 20 it's acceptable and not any worse than my U2211H, which appears to have average backlight bleed.
5) I probably mentioned this already, but, GPU upscaling to 4K doesn't appear to work on my NVIDIA 670 card. It would be nice to know if anyone with a newer card (AMD or NVIDIA or whoever) can do it?
6) Creating custom resolution for the DP output on my NVIDIA card doesn't appear to work right - if I tried to create a 2560x1600 resolution, something goes very wrong and I lose all the video signals from each port on the card. This might be a driver/Dell interaction problem. I have to power cycle the PC to get an image back.
7) Setting the videocard to output YCbCr 4:4:4 has a strange result - it seems the resolution gets cut in half! Text and graphics become blocky. I have a feeling that the UP2414Q is converting YCbCr 4:4:4 to 4:2:0 internally, then converting to RGB, and making a mess of it. Oh well no biggy.

I just noticed that NVIDIA released a new driver today - might test again to see what happens. :)

Some reviewers seem to like the 28" TN panel 4K monitors. Maybe you can find someone to demo one for you?

The UP2414Q is 8 bit panel with 10 bit FRC I believe. So yeah, not true 10 bit. Grey scale patterns look beautiful on this monitor, if you're into that kind of thing. ;)
 
Can someone explain how they are now producing 8-bit TN panels? I thought that it was supposed to be impossible.
 
Well, my UP2414Q arrived, set it up and I honestly barely even notice the size difference from my 27" X-Star DP2710 while using it. 200% scaling (how do you set it to 201% like someone suggested) looks amazing and works fine in 99% of the programs I've tried so far... the remaining couple I need to figure out how to adjust are Maya's icons (I found out how to do the fonts through google easily enough), and Afterburner's on-screen display overlay which seems to be ignoring my "zoom" and position settings in the OSD server app :(. Photoshop is a little small but I barely ever use the icons anyway, the only gotcha is the color picker but that's usable and you can still type in the values easily to adjust them as well. EDIT: Afterburner issue was PEBKAC aka my error, I forgot I had a specific profile for ESO and was only adjusting the global one rather than that, so of course it wasn't affecting the ESO profile :p.

Took a little finangling to get DP1.2 for 60hz to work in Windows for some reason, but it kicked in within a minute or two of fiddling. BIOS post screen works 100% fine as well, and it looks unbelievable in games with just FXAA... it's unreal how good ESO and Battlefield 4 seem, and they run pretty damn well too at high/ultra mixes on just my single oc'd GTX 780. Edit: definitely going sli as soon as I can though. Good times ahead...

hey golden, do you have your X-Star plugged in as well?

Also, were you able to get 1080p -> 4K upscaling working in games through the NVIDIA card? Yeah, there are a billion things to try but I am curious.

Heya, no, I do not, this is now my primary and only connected monitor (I will be selling the xstar soon to help cover the cost of this one). The only issue I have run into as far as displayport/MST is that open windows resize to a corner if I turn the monitor off fully via the power button like I normally do, then back on later. No big deal to me, I might try running a quick HDMI cable in as I've heard that's a workaround though that can fix it since I have a ton of those lying around anyway.

I haven't cared to try 1080p scaling, and don't really intend to either... I will simply dial down settings a little bit in the meantime until I grab a second 780 or Maxwell soon enough :).

Anyone know how to get Maya's interface icons to scale? I read it was doable but I can't find anywhere actually detailing how, just font size with a text edit.
 
Golden, not sure about Maya - are you running Windows 8.1? If so, I thought there was a scaling setting that can be applied for that?

I don't have win8.1 yet though - so maybe you can't do it anyways.

I've gotten used to my windows getting resized whenever I powercycle my Dell. I'll have to double check if, when my PC wakes from sleep, it doesn't mess with my windows. I do have the HDMI connected too.
 
Yeah right now there appears to be no way to get GPU upscaling to 4K. At least, with these NVIDIA 337.50 beta drivers, I wasn't allowed to set 1920x1080.

It works in Linux with no issues.

Not sure, I don't see any option inside of Maya to do so :(. Win8.1's scaling in general is working on everything well otherwise and I really like the setup :).

I don't let this machine sleep, it just idles and I turn the monitor off manually.... I appreciate your willingness to check that for me though :). I'll just get used to it then.
 
Yeah, I'm getting used to powercycling the monitor now and then. The image is pretty fantastic.

Hmmm I thought you could right-click on a program's executable and apply custom scaling settings on it? I thought that was an option in win8.1 but I could be wrong.

houkouonchi: Oh, you can get the GPU to upscale 1080p games to 4K fullscreen with the Dell (using MST)?

Yes. I can do both GPU scaling and monitor scaling (both sst and mst while the display is left in mst mode).

This was on the 32 inch 4k dell so may e monitor scaling modes wouldn't work on the 24 but the GPU ones would 100%.
 
Unfortunately I cannot select 1080p as a resolution when my monitor is plugged in and in MST mode.... It used to be able to do that, but now I'm screwed when I want to use my nvidia shield.

Any ideas?
 
clayton, sounds like NVIDIA's windows driver is not allowing it for some reason. Linux is probably ignoring the Dell's EDID or something like that.

Also, I was never able to select 1080p since 337.50 drivers (over DP). Do you remember what driver you were using when it was working? Also, you CAN select 1080p if you use the HDMI port. 1920x1200 is the maximum you can select over HDMI to get 60 hz.
