    Dell U2515H

    Eh, that sucks. This monitor definitely has some bezel fitment issues. It's an especially tough call whether you try for another one when you get a good panel. But honestly, it doesn't seem like anyone up to this point has really gotten a panel that was all that bad. The panels seem pretty...

    Dell U2515H

    I provided some fairly detailed thoughts on the monitor a little farther up, so make sure you don't miss that. Pixel density is great. I was coming from a 27" iMac with the same resolution, and the added density is definitely noticeable. Loving the extra sharpness and crispness. Stand is...

    Dell U2515H

    Brightness was at 35 on both monitors. It actually did occur to me the other day I probably should have left them both at default to test the BLB, but I doubt it would make a significant difference. Also, I'm pretty sure default is 50, not 75 (at least that's where both of mine were set out of...

    Dell U2515H

    In a normal lit room with a solid black screen, there's not much of a glow. Perhaps just a tiny bit in the top left corner.

    Dell U2515H

    The one I decided to keep does not have the weird shimmer at the top of the display bezel. If you catch it in just the right light you can see it every now and then, but I really never notice it. I'd describe it as a semi-gloss, probably closer to matte than glossy. But there is definitely...

    Dell U2515H

    OK, so finally some more detailed thoughts on the two U2515H monitors I received. I opted to keep the second of the two, but I probably wouldn't have bothered with an exchange for either of them if I had only received one. Monitor 1 Right out of the box, I noticed this weird shimmer all...

    Dell U2515H

    I've got some interesting observations on the coatings, but my Internet has been out all night thanks to an accident up the road earlier this evening. For now, I'll say that it definitely seems matte to me. I've not owned a Dell monitor since the 2209WA, so that's all I've got to compare too...

    Dell U2515H

    My U2515H was delivered yesterday. I'll post some more detailed thoughts and pictures later, but my first impressions are extremely positive. Dell actually accidentally sent me two monitors (thanks to the order fiasco I described above), so I'll probably open both and pick the best of the two...

    Dell U2515H

    I just noticed that the EnergyStar site lists this monitor as a TN Film display. That can't be right, can it? Is that site known to be pretty accurate?

    Dell U2515H

    Well much to my surprise (and despite Dell saying it wouldn't ship until 1/22), my U2515H has shipped! Delivery estimate is Wednesday 1/14. Excited to get my hands on this thing this week!

    Dell U2515H

    Managed to get one of these ordered today for $449 US dollars plus tax! But man, Dell's website is such an absolute mess. After five duplicate order acknowledgements, each separated by about an hour, I've finally managed to get an order placed successfully. Apparently the first order didn't...

    Issues with Dolby Digital 5.1 output over HDMI

    That's some pretty interesting stuff there, thanks. But I think this now makes even less sense to me then it did initially. First off, with regards to your second point, I know for sure that the primary game I'm concerned with (Assetto Corsa) does output in 5.1 channels, so that shouldn't be...

    Issues with Dolby Digital 5.1 output over HDMI

    I posted this over on the Nvidia GeForce forums as well, but I know there are some super-smart folks here and I'm hoping someone here might have some thoughts on the below as well. PROBLEM: I am no longer getting Dobly Digital 5.1 output to my soundbar in games. With the exact same setup...

    New i7 4790K build, temps seem pretty high on stock settings

    I'm almost convinced there is an overheating issue with some of the recent batches of the i7-4790K. There's an ongoing thread over on the Intel Communties forum and I just made a huge post about it over on Tom's Hardware. Take a look at these: Tom's Hardware Thread Intel Community Thread...

    [Introduction] MSI Official Rep

    Hi Eugene! I've had an MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G on order with Amazon for almost a week now with no sign of it shipping any time soon. Any idea when the availability of these cards might improve? I was right in the middle of a system build when these were announced and I've got an R9 290 in...
