Another month, another 30% off deal for the U2414H. I finally caved and bought a second one for myself.

Might not seem as good of a deal as the recent U2412M, but bear in mind they each have their pro's and con's (yes, we hear you 16:10 lovers).

The U2713H also has a 30% discount (cheapest it's been since January), and a few other models have some lower percentage discounts (Link)

    The U2713H was @$699 in May, regular discount price really. Every 3 weeks either the H or HM will be 30% off.

      Hmmm well I did search for it and only came up with $764 in March and $692 in January. And I know these are regular discounts, as I referenced in the first line of the post, but that's mostly all you can expect from Dell these days. Don't see the harm in posting it anyway.

    PPI is pretty average really for what claims to be a high end monitor. I'd really want 2560x1600 on anything over 20" but then I'm a stickler for ppi.

      Most of us who've had higher res are, there just isn't many options yet.

    • lostn on 14/06/2014 - 16:40

      Same. But I don't know of any monitors that has that kind of resolution on a 20" screen. I can't even find 1080p or 1200p at 20".

      Only Macs, but then those are really expensive.

      You call the PPI average for a high end monitor, but with the exception of that uber expensive 24" 4K screen or the cheaper 28" one, this is about the best you're going to get.

      • goingDHfast on 14/06/2014 - 16:54

        Yes you are correct I'm afraid :(
        Back to my 2560x1600 res 10" tablet…

      • abbztract on 14/06/2014 - 22:25

        Well, he said anything over 20" not 20". The only 2560x1600 I can think of are the 27" ultrawide screens by the likes of LG. IMO though, 27" 2560x1440p are much nicer.

        • lostn on 15/06/2014 - 01:40

          What he said was

          I'd really want 2560x1600 on anything over 20"

          I assumed he left out a "not", otherwise the sentence would not make sense. He wants PPI, which means the smaller the screen the better. He wants 2560x1600 on a screen either 20" or less. I'm saying there aren't any around that I know of. 2560x1600 is most common on 27" or higher.

          The only 2560x1600 I can think of are the 27" ultrawide screens by the likes of LG.

          16:10 isn't the aspect ratio for 'ultrawides'. That would be 21:9 (eg 2560x1080)

    • ProspectiveDarkness on 14/06/2014 - 23:47

      I'm all for better quality panels on monitors, but those are some lofty expectations for the prices we're looking at here. And sure, it may not be the highest end monitor available, but resolution isn't the only consideration to be made for quality. For this price range, I think the quality of the U2414H is more than adequate.

    • Pacify on 15/06/2014 - 16:57

      Eh, 2560x1600 is overkill on anything under 27inch.

  • tohara on 14/06/2014 - 16:36

    im curious, why would some buy a 2713H over a U2713HM and a spyder calibration thing or the like?

    • moda on 14/06/2014 - 18:01

      Different panel bro…. you wouldnt be able to calibrate the HM to give the same colour coverage. Obv.

    • Major Mess on 14/06/2014 - 19:22

      To have the best calibrated colours at that price point. These units also have display port daisy-chaining, which is the only way to run that kind of resolution in a 3 monitor setup on the majority of video cards.

      • surfbum1 on 14/06/2014 - 22:10

        uh-oh sounds like I ordered the dud one (HM).
        They haven't sent it yet so maybe I can cancel.

    Dell still have 2 different 16:10 24 inch monitors available for non-cool types who value functionality/versatility over coolness. Everyone is using 16:9 monitors; be different and use a 16:10.

    Considering most people spend 99% of their time directly in front of their monitor, the Samsung 28" 4K monitor is the better value choice

    • [Deactivated] on 14/06/2014 - 20:04

      That monitor is TN or VA I'm pretty sure. Not IPS or AH-IPS. Great resolution if you are an office worker that wants massive screen real-estate without having to use multiple monitors though. Just don't expect good response time or colour saturation.

      • ProspectiveDarkness on 14/06/2014 - 23:38
        +3

        Yep, it's TN. The Samsung is the display for people who care about resolution and little else.

      • Cheap Rich Guy on 15/06/2014 - 17:49

        I prefer IPS for colour accuracy but the response time on the Sammy is 1ms so I don't think you can fault it there.

    Few U2713HM in the Dell Outlet brand new for $599

    ..though due to the silly way their stock levels are updated they might be gone.

  • sleepyowl on 14/06/2014 - 19:56

    Still tossing up between these or those generic korean ones. Has anyone got any feedback on the ebay ones?

    • quarrymaster on 14/06/2014 - 21:14

      Why? What's holding you back on this Dell? I would've got one if they offered a 21.5” version.

      • sleepyowl on 14/06/2014 - 22:28

        the 27 inch korean one is 2560x1440 at only around $350. Just figuring out the pros and cons of each.

        • dafatha on 15/06/2014 - 14:45

          warranty
          dead pixels
          build quality are the differences

    • abbztract on 14/06/2014 - 22:28
      +1

      The Korean ones are well known and trust worthy. The stands aren't the best except on the Crossovers but the X-Star and many others have VESA compatibility so you could mount it. The stands aren't horrible though. They okay like the LG E2242 ones. Not the best. Not the worst.

      Compared to the Dell, you get a better price and overclocking ability. Going for the Dell gets you better warranty and a better stand but for almost double the price.

      I'm going to get myself an X-Star in a few weeks and I'd suggest you do the same. Much better of a deal and reliable too.

    • Pacify on 15/06/2014 - 16:59

      If you going for 24, id suggest the dell 2142m. If you want 27, get a generic Korean 27

  • coolstan on 14/06/2014 - 22:42

    I am looking for a 27 inch screen for photo editing. Sorry for the noob question

    But can anyone simply tell me the difference between the H and HM version.
    Thanks

    • ProspectiveDarkness on 14/06/2014 - 23:35

      The U2713H is designed to deliver better colour reproduction for professional purposes whereas the U2713HM is more mainstream in its target audience. The panel on the H has better colour depth - 1.07 billion colours (8-bit + FRC) compared to the 16.7 million of the HM. It also has a few other higher end functions to do with calibrations that I won't pretend to know much about. Check out the end section of the TFT Central review to see a better comparison.

      Basically if you're seriously into photo editing and are prepared to pay the difference, then by all means, go for the H.

      • guidedlight on 15/06/2014 - 09:47
        +3

        To take advantage of the colour depth provided by the U2713H, you really need an 10-bit graphics card, and software applications that support 10-bit colour (e.g. Photoshop)

        This is because standard graphic cards and software can't actually describe more that 16.7 million colours.

      • coolstan on 15/06/2014 - 12:30

        Thanks ProspectiveDarkness!

        • coolstan on 15/06/2014 - 12:31

          and thank you guidedlight, cantstanzya!

      Pretty much what PD says above. It is a wide gamut monitor. It is definetly not for everyone however.
      Please read this article: http://davidjohnstone.net/blog/2013/06/be-careful-when-buyin…
      The piece sums it up quite nicely but basically a wide gamut monitor over saturates some colours on most applications (as they do not support the appropriate colour space)
      I have owned the the U2713H for over a year and it is great for me however what makes this monitor more expensive in price could easily be an unwanted and irritating feature for some.
      With that all said and done, the monitor can be set to a 'normal' colour mode if you are really keen to part with your cash for the other features and want to avoid any wide gamut woes.

  • Cheap Rich Guy on 15/06/2014 - 17:59

    I hope they can get the 30" under $1000 at some stage.
