Hey guys, I'm having trouble deciding between the two.
So far as I can tell, both monitors have the same performance in terms of color reproduction and image quality, since both use the same panel. So the only differences are in the stand, extra inputs on the Dell (card readers, HDMI, etc...), OSD, and Scaler.
So a question is that since the HP doesn't have OSD or a scaler, how would I calibrate the monitor (besides brightness) and what would happen if I play a game that doesn't support 2560x1600? For example, SCBW only goes up to 800x640, and War3 only goes up to 1600x1200. Given that a 30" probably isn't the best monitor to use for a 12yr old game in the first place, what would happen?
Oh and what do you guys think, is the Dell worth $250 more than the HP?
