    Does this look right? - Color uniformity on U2711

    I'd say the pictures reflect pretty well what I see on a white screen. They are underexposed so color differences can be seen. (I just noticed that in my initial message I was talking about 4 pictures, but I linked 4 times to the same picture; now I fixed that, so images from different angles...

    Does this look right? - Color uniformity on U2711

    The thing is, if this is normal, there's little point in replacing it. To me there is an obvious bluish tint toward the upper-right corner of the screen, regardless of your eyes' location relative to the screen. If other LCD users find the tint negligible, I should probably just try to get used...

    Does this look right? - Color uniformity on U2711

    I recently got an U2711 and I wonder if the way the screen looks like is what passes for good color uniformity or just there's something wrong with my particular unit. (I should mention that my previous monitor was a Trinitron CRT and I've never seen an LCD that I really liked. Now the old CRT...

    Deep Color (30 bit) on U2711

    Yes, there's probably not much reason for non-pro photographers to go with 30-bit, but I'd like to check it out anyway. Thanks! Although it's not what I wanted to hear, it's what I expected. I'm about to order the monitor. I'll try to get a clear answer from AMD first - maybe there's...

    HDMI for high-res monitors: ATI vs nVidia

    I'm pretty sure 24-bit 2560x1600 in HDMI 1.3 is optional as well.

    Deep Color (30 bit) on U2711

    The other thread is about cards, while this one is about U2711. What I want to use Deep Color for is photo processing (starting from 12-bit RAW) and vector graphics. My question in this thread is to what extent U2711 supports Deep Color, assuming that I have the right graphics card, OS...

    Deep Color (30 bit) on U2711

    True, but I'd like to see what 30-bit looks like, even with these restrictions. However, I'm looking at GT 240 specs (in "Features") and the only context they mention Deep Color is "HDMI 1.3a". That's the same for Radeon HD 5750. And, well, the same for U2711. As far as I can tell nVidia...

    Deep Color (30 bit) on U2711

    Did anybody test how 30 bit color works on U2711? HDMI seems to max out at 1920x1080 or 1920x1200, so it's not acceptable for desktop work. (At least that's how it sounds from some posts.) DVI doesn't do Deep Color. That leaves DisplayPort as the only possible option for 30 bit color at...

    HDMI for high-res monitors: ATI vs nVidia

    U2711 looks like a 2560x1440 monitor that might take a 2560x1440 over HDMI. Whether it does so - that's a different question to ask. I want to use it because HDMI 1.3 allegedly allows 30 bit colors while DVI doesn't. I saw no big issue with monitors taking 2560x1600 on HDMI, as HDMI is...

    HDMI for high-res monitors: ATI vs nVidia

    According to the specs, HDMI 1.3 (released in 2006) supports 2560x1600. The problem is that the HDMI specs are quite meaningless in determining what a product can do, as vendors are allowed to implement whatever parts of the specs that they feel like, while still claiming 1.3 compatibility. So...

    HDMI for high-res monitors: ATI vs nVidia

    According to the specs on AMD's site, Radeon HD cards can only do 1920x1200 on an HDMI cable. OTOH nVidia apparently doesn't have this limitation on its 2xx cards. Can anybody who actually tried the HDMI connection on 2560x1600 or 2560x1440 monitors share the experience? (Mainly what works /...

    Black levels in U2711

    I've been reading about LCD monitors on this and other forums and several things show up regularly but there seem to be some contradictions about H-IPS monitors: 1) (expensive) NEC monitors with H-IPS panels and A-TW polarizers have great black levels, much better than any LCD from Dell. 2)...
