[Hexus] Dell updates flagship Ultrasharp monitor range - Page 7

post #61 of 69
Not as good. Eizo has some of the best color engines in the business, besides LaCie.

Both are much more skewed towards graphics professionals though, at more than twice the price of the Dell. But if you are a gamer and primarily use sRGB instead of wide Gamut, such monitors really are not needed as they will be to slow and colos will appear far to saturated (skin tones looking orangish) and flashy reds. Not to mention you need a 10 bit card to run them as they should be (Quadro or Firepro) and apps that are color aware.

And 95% off non professional grade apps are not color aware. So a waste of money at that level. The Dell has a passable sRGB emulator, while the HP has none. But both the Dell and HP are 8 bit FRC afaik with 12 bit LUT. So color wise, not as sophisticated as Eizo.

Not really. I solved that ''not aware problem'' by using Matrix base and mode 2 profiling. Windows doesn't like Table base and mode 4, that is used by default in almost all profiler/calibration softwares. Now everything looks fine for me. smile.gif

And what I print is exactly what I see on screen. Happy. smile.gif

Maybe you didn't have enough GPU power to lock games at 60FPS?
My U3011 has been a smooth, crisp gamer.
Many reviews show it has very little to no ghosting in games.

The coating is a minor pain though.

There are some games/settings that will work a 690 below 60FPS @ 1440p/1600, without mods/add ons.

This statement doesn't make any sense nor does it refer to any games or settings.

Most games I run on nearly maxed settings, some I need to turn down some but they still look amazing.
For example, I lock Crysis 2 @ 1600p/60FPS with Phsyx/Tess/DX11 on Very HIgh.
Extreme and Ultra textures push me into the 30's.

Games like Borderlands 2 I completely max out.

Yeah I work IT in the graphics industry and we have various nice Eizo 24" 1200Ps (though a few years old now) and for soft-proofing of files some really nice NEC 30" 1600Ps. I need to bring my rig in someday but I don't really have to horsepower to drive the NECs well which is the main draw. Used to use LaCie 23" CRTs back in the day.

i think eizo and nec are generally considered to be the best pro monitors. but who actually needs (uses programs that support 10 bit color) at this site? i hope they aren't getting it for gaming
