$799 as was expected.
Hi guys,
I just got my U2713HM today and have been testing and playing with it for about 4 hours now. Normally I wouldn't jump on a new product so fast but I managed to take advantage of a pricing error on a corporate dell account and get one with an a 5 year accidental damage warranty for $600
Not a single dead or stuck pixel (and that guaranteed for 5 years is is why I went with Dell over any other vendor).
There is what I would consider significant white light bleeding in the bottom left, and it extends out almost 75% of the lower-left quadrant, with decreased intensity the farther you look from the bottom-left corner. There is absolutely no white light bleeding anywhere else on the screen, even the top edges, as i've seen in some other owner's pictures in this thread and elsewhere. I have never owned or even used an IPS monitor before so I don't know what to think about this. I assume this is normal?
Anyway, thus far I am quite happy with the monitor. I've not yet dived into enough action video games to comment on ghosting. I think i'm likely to notice ghosting since I play so many FPS games, and have been using a 2ms response TN panel for years. I really hope I notice no ghosting though!
In just 30 minutes of skyrim and BF3 I was really able to notice the ips glow/bleeding in the bottom left. I then switched the display mode to game mode (which doesn't let me change brightness without turning off dynamic contrast) and the glow became about half as visible, although it doesn't seem to be half the brightness. In fact with chrome open the browser window is even brighter in game mode. I don't understand at all how the non-standard presets work, but standard is the only one which has dynamic contrast turned off. The other modes, all of which have dynamic contrast it turned on, seem to have a lot less glow visible in the bottom left, including multimedia and games. Like if I open solid black jpeg full screen I can see the brightness levels being lowered over a few seconds after opening it. I've never had a monitor that could do that...lol.
what about the ghosting? I am interested in the monitor truly. I am just worried about the responsiveness in FPS games etc.
also it sounds like I should wait until a 2nd Revision comes out... my suggestion is to use a custom calibration and adjust the brightness. these ultrasharps out of the box come at like 75% brightness which literally burns my eyes and effects how the picture looks for me atleast.
I own a U2711 and S27A950D. There is an obvious difference between them but I reckon most people would be fine on the U2711. Apparently the U2713HM is similar if not better when it comes to ghosting so you would probably be fine with it. There are some shots from that Pixperan program and some discussion about this on some of the reviews:

Alas I want to reiterate. I have bleeding in bottom left corner.
However if you haven't bought it yet, I would hold out until you can see reviews of the Asus PB278Q. Just be very cautious with Asus' warranty on monitors. If you have the choice you should definitly buy one at a brick and mortar store and inspect the product before leaving.
Do you have any experience with ASUS warranty personally esp for the P series?, for the P series panels it seems they have 2 day cross shipping policy just like Dell and HP.
From their site:
Along with a 3 year warranty for the display panel and system, you get the complimentary ASUS Rapid Replacement service that covers free 2-way shipping and offers free cross-shipping that swaps any defective unit with a replacement.
may have to consider that but in my exp pixels do not go bad all of a sudden, plus given the subjective nature of displays I have never
had issues coming up with a 'problem' to get it exchanged. Where did u read about the pb278q not having full 3 years coverage? I verified with TD that they will take the monitor back n pay return shipping if defective.
Sadly it has 12ms response time. There was a bit of confusion around this, as the European website listed 12ms G2G while the US website showed 5ms (typ). But now both have 12ms in the spec sheet.How about the upcoming ViewSonic VP2770 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824116578
If the AG coating is not aggressive it will be an excellent option.
It seems it's using the same panel as HP ZR2740, maybe even the new light-AG version. Review should be coming soon on tftcentral.
pecheckler, was yours from the June 2012 batch or the purportedly better July 2012 manufacture date?
On the Australian Dell website these are currently $559.
Now I need to figure if its a decent gaming monitor. 18 pages to trawl through
How much does the brightness setting affect the backlight bleed? From what I've read, turning on dynamic contrast, or one of the modes that automatically uses it, drastically reduces the problem in dark games and movies. But is that true in everyone's case?
Maybe everyone could add their brightness levels to their comments when you post about BLB. That would help us get a sense of how bad the problem is.

I made a custom driver for this monitor to get 72hz refresh rate at 2560-1440 and works without promblems on all apps/games.
I manage to drive this monitor with EDID overdrive (and modded ATI driver) at 90Hz and works perfect in 2D but i had some problems with games (black screen - pc rebbot)
I work this monitor with 2x5850 in xfire and DVI output and post a link with my modded driver for every1 who wants to try it.
The 72Hz works without any ATI driver mod ,just replace monitor driver.

Just splashed out on this monitor. Ordered it for $610 US dollars (inlcuding delivery). What price are people paying for this?
I should have the monitor by next week. I'll report back any backlight bleeding etc. I tend to have my office relatively dark, so it will be interesting. Currently have quite an old 19" Dell monitor which is still running perfectly, but thought it was time for an upgrade.
By the way, this thread is really quiet for such an exciting release. I suspect it's due to the fact it's not cheap and not many people have bought it as a result?
