    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    Hmm, I thought AG caused the sparkling effect which I thought I was used to from years of using the older 3008WFP, but perhaps I'm wrong. It would at leat explain why every U3011 is the same. :p

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    I'm not able to focus on my U3011 at all. I mean it's like looking at one of those 3d images where you have to cross your eyes just right to focus, but here I'm not able to. I've been through 4 U3011's now and it's just so hard to explain to anyone what the problem is. I usually just tell them...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    I'm having some flicker on my screen and I'm wondering if it's the screen or my graphics card. I haven't noticed it before and seeing as both the screen and the graphics card are new it could be either. It's sporadic, but on average 10-15 times an hour the screen will turn completely black for...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    Custom color will break on that last one as well. :) I thought it worked on the last one I received as well, but it broke after a while just like the others. Doesn't really matter though as this monitor is only usable in Adobe RGB or sRGB as far as I'm concerned. I've gotten used to the...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    My Eizo is this one: http://www.prad.de/en/monitore/review/2007/review-eizo-s2431w.html I've used two of them at home for quite some time and they were both identical and in my mind some of the best monitors I've had. It's not wide gamut @ 94% sRGB coverage, but on the Dell I only use the sRGB...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    The Wide Gamut is a problem, but the sRGB mode is pretty good. Unless you're very picky I don't think you'll find much problem with the sRGB mode. You'll end up using the sRGB on most monitors anyway. I love all the inputs. This is the first monitor I've bought with more inputs than my Eizo. I...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    I game a lot myself and I don't notice any lag whatsoever. I play (and excel at) games that require very quick eyes and hands like Counter-Strike, Quake 3, Gun Game. Monitor and mouse technology has come far enough for me not to be hindered by my equipment. Also, the Dell monitor is for anyone...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    The brightness is an issue of its own as far as I'm concerned. :) With all my other monitors I have it at one setting and forget about it. With the U3011 I have to constantly change it because it either feels too bright or too dim every time I sit down in front of it. Not sure if that's because...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    I just noticed this monitor actually makes a really annoying buzzing sound if I turn the brightness below 90. I can't stand such noises so I guess this monitor is going back as well. :) I didn't notice it in the "noisy" office, but at home it's very audible.

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    I checked out the digital vibrance setting on my home computer and it's default at 50% and can go between 0% and 100% so here I can go full greyscale if I want. On my work monitor it was default at 0% so I could only increase the saturation. Guess they improved it on the newer graphics...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    I'm sure the Game mode and possibly Movie mode enables dynamic contrast, i.e. the monitor automatically decreases the brightness based on what's being shown. For example if you're in a dark cave or watching a dark movie it will lower the brightness to give you deeper blacks. At least that's...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    Thanks for your replies Snowdog. You obviously have a ton of experience with this and quite a bit of patience as well. :) Half an hour ago I set both monitors next to eachother and put them both on 100% brightness, in clone mode in a completely dark room. I then watched clips from multiple...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    sRGB doesn't look extremely washed out, that was probably just me exaggerating things a bit. It looks slightly desaturated, but the viewing angle issues I'm experiencing makes the colors more washed out as well. Especially the icons on my startmenu in Windows 7 because they're at the very...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    I've been carrying the monitor back and forth between the office and my house, testing it both in daylight and at night in a dozen different lighting conditions and rooms to no avail. :) Also, the reason why I purchased this particular monitor instead of the alternatives I looked at was the...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    I couldn't tell the difference between DVI, HDMI or Displayport.

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    Btw, the custom preset mode just broke on this model as well. Everything is now fluorescent green if I switch to that mode. At least that lets me return it if I decide to.

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    Thanks for the thorough reply. How does icons like the firefox logo etc. look on your monitor if it's wide gamut? Like they should be or oversaturated and red? Because that's what I'm getting with the U3011 no matter how much effort I put into calibrating it using either my Spyder 3 Pro, the...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    That was what I feared. The tftcentral review did link to an article telling about the pros and cons of wide gamut, but I was unable to find any cons and everywhere I look wide gamut is regarded as positive. I guess only people who work with print and or photography are supposed to read those...

    Dell U3011 coming soon.

    I registered here because it seemed like an active thread about this monitor and I will gladly share my opinion on it in a desperate attempt to get some feedback on my problems. :) Honestly, if the 3 monitors I've received aren't hugely defective I don't understand how anyone can use this...
