I now have 4 of these monitors, 2 are going back for color uniformity, but none of them calibrated with the same RGB values in the custom color settings. Each and every one is different, you really can't use someone else's settings. Short of a calibration tool, which I finally decided to purchase after years of putting it off, really helps to get these screens looking great. Really important if you have more than one (of any kind) since it will drive you nuts having two side by side without rendering colors the same.I have a question. Does anyone use factory settings (standard mode)? I've only adjusted brightness, down to 40 and the colors seems perfect to me.
When I put 96 93 87 in custom mode, the colors seems a bit lacking.. White is kinda reddish and dark blue almost look like grey.
Is there any website I could use for color accuracy stuff?
Anyone able to get this monitor through Dell for $300 or less? I'm strongly considering buying one if I can get it for less than $300.
I don't know about the States but here in Canada, it was on sale for $279 only about a week ago.

I have my 2408WFP calibrated in the included eye1 match software, which I hear is pretty terrible.
I gather from the thread I should use the free trial of BasicColor to calibrate, and Monitor Calibration Wizard to apply ICC profiles.
BasicColor will apply the profile to the proper screen, but Monitor Calibration Wizard can be used after the fact to save the video card LUT (color lookup table) to enforce them. Also for AMD cards, PowerStrip is good for this too.
Since I already have the eye1 match icc profile applied to my computer, will I be able to remove that profile so it doesn't mess up the U2412M calibration? Should I install the U2412M ICC profile from the CD before the calibration?
If you use BasicColor it will change the profiles to the proper ones, and discard the currently loaded one before it starts. System profile is always sRGB as far as I know in Windows 7.
I have an AMD video card - is there anything recommended for me to adjust in Catalyst Control Center?
No, don't worry about it. Just leave stock/defaults.
should I set it to sRGB and generate a new ICC profile so that sRGB content looks better and it matches the U2412M better?
It would probably be best, otherwise reds and greens especially will be a lot stronger on the 2408WFP and not look at all like the U2412M. But you can mess around with it.
Does a single computer support multiple ICC profiles for separate monitors?
Yes, and printers, etc.... per device, or you can set it per device in the Color Management control panel.
Is there a tangible benefit to using displayport over DVI, or vice versa? I have both outputs.
Nope.
Sorry for the barrage of questions. I read the entire thread and some of the calibration stuff
confused me even further. I walked in thinking that I plug in my colorimeter, run the i1 match, and boom it's done. Now I'm hearing about wide gamut versus sRGB, and applying calibration to individual applications, and using different software.
A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.

My new U2412M (A01, Made in China, December 2011) stinks. ...The smell seems to be coming out from the vents on right (when looking from the front) ... Has anybody else experienced something like that?
What is the best color temperature if I'm using this monitor for multiple purposes?
Just make sure that you see a difference when you toggle the settings for "Use my settings for this device" in the color management 'device' tab (first page) for your selected monitor. If you don't see a change, you may need to go into the advanced 'change system defaults' > advanced "[x] use windows display calibration" to enable it.Also, after calibration (I'm using Basic Color and X-Rite i1Display Pro) do I have to change the Advanced settings in Windows' Color Management, for example:
Color Management --> Advanced tab --> Device profile ---> Select profile name
and also change the settings in "Change system defaults"?
I ordered a 2412 last night, and it has already shipped this morning. Does this necessarily mean that this monitor was returned by a previous owner? ...)
I noticed it but thankfully it didn't stink up the entire room. I doubt it's toxic. It's clearly a funky smell and it will just need to wear off over time.My new U2412M (A01, Made in China, December 2011) stinks.
Literally.
I noticed on the first day I got it the chemical smell coming out of the vents on the top. Not the usual sweet smell of warm plastic common to all new electronics (gee, I sound like a junky! ), but more of a solver/paint thinner/nail polish remover kind of smell. Not very strong, but still strong enough to smell it every so often when working in front of the
monitor. Annoying.
The smell seems to be coming out from the vents on right (when looking from the front). I figured it was probably some industrial solver they used to clean the PCB at the factory and that it would dissipate within a day or two. I even left the monitor on overnight on max brightness a couple of times, figuring that the extra heat would help disperse the smell faster. A full week later, I can still smell it.
Other than the smell, the monitor is fine. Well, the off-angle glow is worse than expected (definitely more noticable than on my old IPS 2007WFP), but it works fine, no complaints.
Has anybody else experienced something like that? Any ideas/suggestions?
Bought two of this display the other day, like them so far, but i've noticed that one of the screen seems a bit more yellow than white on the right side of the screen if i look at a completely white picture, the other screen looks a bit more yellowish on the whole screen compared to the first one, but again nothing i don't really notice if am not staring at a picture. Is this normal or?
Can anyone confirm if this has the same anti-glare as the U2711? I went to look at the 2711 at Micro Center today, and wow, the AG is pretty bad, especially when looking at white backgrounds or brighter colors in images.
