I'm surprised nobody mentioned this to you but run your fans from a curve set to delta t. If you don't have the ability to do that then run your fans to a curve set to water temp.

Yeah, that got me too at first, it can also be disabled within the OSD. Seems like an almost pointless feature on a monitor designed for color precision. Also, I misunderstood one of your earlier posts about running brightness at 100%. I thought you were referring to the U2413.

I had a similar issue with mine before I returned it, but it was one of the more forgivable(for me) issues I had with the monitor. Running brightness at 100% hardly seems like reasonable solution unless you want to burn your eyes out, or if intend to calibrate the monitor to a standard (like...

TFT gave it a favorable review, but make no mistake, it's not a professional grade monitor as it's being marketed. The monitor has a nasty green tint especially in game mode, which you'll need to use in order to get the fast lag times. In game mode, manual controls are at a minimum. While...

If you're bothered by AG, then it might not be for you. People have said it's better than the coating on the 2410. I wouldn't know, but if it is better, the 2410 must've been awful. I replaced mine with an NEC P232W and find it superior in every way other than size and aspect ratio.

If you use it for work, just call Dell Small Business and get them to lower the price. I paid $450 for one of these as soon as it released. Even that deal on it wasn't enough, though, the monitor is worth about $350 with all of its shortcomings. The hardware calibration on this monitor does...

Which browser are you using? I've noticed that Chrome results unreliable in OSX. I use Safari to test profiling results. If you're in Windows, I think Firefox is probably a good choice, but you might need to load a profiling add-on to ensure it's doing its job.

Tell that to pretty much every professional photographer working today. Yes, films(especially those destined for theater) are mostly graded on projectors, and plasmas are commonly used as reference monitors. However, both of these come with their drawbacks as it's necessary to recalibrate them...

This statement is ridiculous. There are tons of professionals using high end IPS panel monitors for work published in print ads and for grading films and television we see every day. Granted, some of these monitors will easily run you $2500. The fact remains, there are plenty of pros who trust...

I purchased an NEC P232W(which is an IPS panel with W-LED backlight) last week to replace a U2413 I returned to Dell. I find the contrast and black levels to be quite solid for my needs. After calibration I get a black point of .092 and contrast ratio of 1075:1 at 100 cd/m which is the...

Can you force the calibration process to allow you to manually adjust the brightness, contrast, RGB levels? If so, then you can force it to a lower brightness. Are you using iProfiler? I remember having a setting before it jumps into the calibration sequence that lets me force it to go manual.

Don't mean to resurrect this thread, but I recently installed Spectraview II for my new P232W noticed as of version 1.1.14 dated Feb 27, they added support for a P242W. I suspect they will release it soon.

It's not, and you don't have to pay that for it. I got mine from Dell Small Business for $450, but even that deal wasn't enough for me to keep it. Dell is notorious for 1st gen monitors of new models having issue. They also don't allow the user to upgrade the firmware on most of these newer...

Not sure how it compares, but I returned my U2413 because the hardware calibration didn't work correctly without making manual edits to the software. When it did calibrate correctly, it was not very consistent. If you don't need hardware calibration, then there are a few pluses, like fairly...

Yeah, I've decided to buy an NEC, but I'm still not sure which one to get.

Thanks, but it's not so much that I need a monitor that just does sRGB, I need one that has accurate and consistant hardware calibration to sRGB. I wouldn't have even considered a Dell, but the specs/price point on these new monitors seemed like it was worth the shot. On paper they're...

Well, when I say sRGB, I'm really just talking about the primaries.

The results with or without forcing the RG Phosphor edr are not great, but the white point will be incorrect without the edr. All my changes do is tell the software that I'm using a GB-LED panel. In regard to me manually setting the coordinates... I was trying to force the software to do...

The correction matrix "RG Phosphor edr" is included in the software installation(off the CD or by installing Device Services), but the Dell software doesn't use it by default because it fails to find the displayTechTypes.xml which directs it to use the correct .edr. If you're using the Dell...

Well, it's fairly subjective. I found my Dell to be a great monitor in many ways, but it fell short where I need it most, critical color calibration. It's a pity because I really got it for a steal through their small business department.

Thanks NCX, I did. I actually just got off the phone with DELL(after like 5 transfers) and I'm returning the monitor for a refund. I'm 95% sure that I'll be ordering the 24" NEC as a replacement in the next day or two.

I notice the results are worse when I try to manually enter all the info. So manual R,G, and B coordinates and a manual whitepoint. I tried calibrating a few times this way because the REC 709 preset returns poor results for me. Also, CAL2 seems to be more problematic for me than CAL1...

So I just did wipe of all calibration software and did a clean install of DCCS. The software installs the RG Phosphor edr so it's not necessary to install the device services. It still doesn't load it by default though, so it's still necessary to create or edit the displayTechTypes file from...

Thanks for the expanded info and for answering my questions from TFT Central. Regarding my CAL1/CAL2 issue. I'm gonna uninstall everything(DCCS, iProfiler, basIIColor, etc.) then reinstall DCCS and see if I can't get the LUTs to properly calibrate on a 2nd attempt. If not, it looks like I...

Thanks! Quick question for U2713H or U2413 owners out there. Are any of you experiencing strange issues if you try to recalibrate the hardware LUTs? If I try to calibrate my LUTs a second time, the results are way off. It's like the software isn't clearing out CAL1 or CAL2 before...

There has been some discussion on the calibration of the new Dell panels using the RG Phosphor calibration correction matrix instead of the RGBLED like a few technicians at X-Rite are recommending. After running some tests using RG Phosphor in iProfiler and being quite pleased with the software...
