    Dell U2713HM

    I received my replacement today. Still not perfect, but I'd say it's a substantial improvement over the previous one. Old: http://i47.tinypic.com/4lhtg5.jpg New: http://i47.tinypic.com/33bibh0.jpg Both photos were taken with the same camera settings (1/15s, f/2.8 and ISO 6400). The...

    Dell S2440L or S2740L, which might be better for me?

    Depends on what you mean by higher. VA has better blacks, ie the black luminance is lower, not higher.

    Dell U2713HM

    Well, at least if it's worse than average, the chances are I'll get a better one when I exchange it. I didn't buy it from Dell but I still have 14 days to return it. I seriously have to consider that option.

    Dell U2713HM

    Looks like the prices of these monitors have really come down in Europe. At 489€ I just couldn't resist and ordered one. It's not a perfect sample though, there is some backlight bleed and its left side is noticably brighter and yellowish on a black background. Reading this thread, though, it...

    HP ZR2740w 27 inch LED IPS is available

    Because the numbers advertised by the manufacturer are so accurate and highly representative of actual performance, right? Just look at those ridiculous dynamic contrast ratios manufacturers nowadays advertise, they are completely meaningless. Don't compare contrast and response time to...

    Samsung SA850 on PLS - the first review has been published (preproduction unit)

    Is the 650D an MVA or a PVA of some kind? Samsung's website doesn't seem to specify.

    An Idiot's Guide to AMD's Eyefinity

    I was thinking about getting 2 CRTs (practically for free) and putting one on either side of my BenQ EW2430 LCD. How would it work out for Eyefinity if the CRTs had a different max resolution and aspect ratio (both 1600x1200, 4:3 for example) than the LCD (1920x1080, 16:9)? Could I run the CRTs...

    benq xl2410t dead pixels

    Definitely not. It's something I miss with the EW2430 I have now.

    So why is IPS considered so much superior to TN?

    I only meant black, although other tones wash out as well to some degree. But I definitely can't say the entire screen turns gray, far from it. Also, it's less significant from a distance. When I watch movies from 1,5-2 meters (~6 ft?) away, I can change my position and move head freely...

    So why is IPS considered so much superior to TN?

    Pretty much all LCDs struggle with dark content. As mentioned before, a monitor with a VA panel might be your best option. Their main drawback is slow response time, but if you don't notice any ghosting with the 2209WA at all then it seems to me you are not very sensitive to it. A VA panel might...

    So why is IPS considered so much superior to TN?

    I'm aware of that trick. In a lit room black depth really is less of an issue. But yeah, I tend to be very picky when it comes to black depth. If a monitor displaying an all-black image can be distinguished in a pitch black room, it's clearly not good enough. :p

    So why is IPS considered so much superior to TN?

    As an EW2430 owner, I can't quite agree. Black depth is quite sensitive to viewing angles: if I move my head just a little to the left, the right side of the screen quickly turns gray. It's not very noticeable in a lit room, but somewhat annoying in a dark room. Despite this possibly being the...

    benq xl2410t dead pixels

    Mine had a stuck red pixel, but most XL2410T owners here seem to have received monitors with no dead pixels.
