[Discount] Dell S2240M CFGKT Deals 2014

by Amber Garvey blog

Compared to the Dell UltraSharp U2312HM there's very little discernible panel differences. Overall image quality is very good, and the colors and saturation levels are fine in Auto. Also, good are the viewing angles, Contrast, Clock & Phase, Sharpness, Gamma, and Black Levels. Images look sharp and color accurate. Gaming for an IPS panel is good. On your desk it looks very nice and stands about 3-1/4" off the desktop, and since the stand is flat you can use that space. Ideally, most IPS panels don't make for great Gaming monitors, and I only game on occasion. I did find some minor Ghosting problems with certain middle gray RGB values: 64/192, 96/224, 128/255 and some minor Response time issues. I used Lagom monitor tests. Note: I am no monitor expert, but I know what looks good and doesn't. I thought I had a nice LCD until I hooked up this baby. Boy was I so wrong?! IPS may cost a little more, but it is more than worth the extra cost. Crisp, clear text. Bright EVEN color from ANY angle.


Games look AMAZING!! Don't worry about the slower refresh rate of IPS. You won't notice it at all. I can't say whether all IPS screens are this good, but this one is excellent and worth every penny. Even if you had to pay full price of $199 on Dell's site, (which I didn't, I got it here on Amazon for a steal!) it would still be worth it. I held off buying a monitor as the last part of my six months of upgrades and this one BY FAR made the biggest impression. Wanted to write a review to help other mac users, I've tried other IPS monitors, a Samsung and even the Dell 2740 IPS display but have found most monitors lacking when when it goes up against a Mac display. If you're like me and have been using Macs for most of your life for design and photo work, your eyes are going to be sensitized to even little changes in color rendering which most people won't even notice. Almost every other display next to my iMAc so far after about and hour's use I've wanted to throw it against a wall. There will always be something that is just going to bug you and overtime drive you nuts. Luckily for me, I came across this one in a store and immediately saw that it came darn close to the output resolution and pixel quality I'm used to from looking at mac displays. This one is as close as you can get to the color render that a mac display outputs. With everything else so far I've seen annoying pixelation and crappy anti-aliasing around the edges on text and pictures when viewing web pages and this monitor comes close to matching the colors on a mac. It is not going to rival a Cinema display mind you, I'm going to be upfront with that.
