p.1 #1 · Dell Monitor Question


I am considering buying a 27" Dell monitor. I am confused by the different specs of the various models.
U2711
U2713HM
U2713
U2713H
I would appreciate recommendations.
Thanks

I have a pair of U2711, and they're great! I can't tell you anything about the other models, except to note that the U2713H and U2713HM are listed at B&H, where you can get loads on information on them. Use the "Search B&H Photo" dialogue box to give Fred some kudos at B&H.

Look closely at Dell's website. The easiest to spot difference between the U2713H and U2713HM is that one is wide gamut and one is not. I think the U2711 is wide gamut also, but is discontinued?

We get Dell screens at work (corporate agreement) and from experience i find that the more expensive wide gamut screens are well made and decent, whilst the cheaper sRGB screens are definitely "cheaper". That's not to say they are bad, but they aren't the same quality: If i compare the U2412 in my office with the U2410 i have at home, the U2410 is definitely a better screen all round.

The U2711 isn't listed at Dell any more, but it's still available at B&H, and other places too, like Amazon.ca.

The U2711 colour gamut is specified as 110%* NTSC typical , 100% sRGB, 96% Adobe RGB, with colour depth of 1.07 billion colours.

I also have a pair of the U2711 monitors. And I like those very much. In Europe they are still selling that monitor.

I don't need the wide gamut and so went with a U2713HM. These are frequently on sale for as much as $400 less than the U2713H in the USA.

Thanks for all of your comments.

I found the article at TFTCENTRAL quite informative.

Some of the places that sell the U2711 have a very low price now. I see it go for about 550 euro here in Europe.

I love the double Dell U2711 monitors for work in LR. It's so great to have the large photo on one monitor and the LR work area in the other

Am I the only one who dislikes that aggressive anti-glare coating on the U2711?

I like it. At least, I never really noticed it. That`s probably because there`s no problems with glare or monitor IQ.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll get the U2713, and a bigger desk.
