The USB hubs in those were incredibly reliably as well, and I'm hoping that the all-USB 3.0 hub in this Dell 27' model is up to the task.ДЄs far as value goes, sure the Korean models might be good for a second or third monitor, but with the Dell you *should* get grade A quality (at least for an enthusiast, if not for the professional), under a fairly full kit of options and functionality.ДЇor something that I'm hoping might last 10 or 15 years, like my other monitors, the probable annual amortized cost difference is fairly negligible. I've got one on order and I hope these are going to last as long as the several HP LP2465 monitors that I've been using for most of a decade. That alone is worth something.ДЄmazon has them available for pre-order at $705: hrrmph - Saturday, Octolink First 27' with an all-USB 3.0 Hub.The Dell manages to cover over 79% of the AdobeRGB gamut, which is pretty good for a panel without special backlighting, so for normal sRGB work it should do a very good job. If you want accurate color but donвЂ™t own equipment to do the calibration yourself, Dell provides results better than anything else I have seen and the included calibration report and testing hopefully means this isnвЂ™t just a random sample that happens to be excellent.ДЄs with all the LED backlit 27вЂќ IPS displays, we see the sRGB gamut being covered but not AdobeRGB gamut coverage. Overall the Dell has very good results on the calibrated results, and the best results that I have seen by far on the pre-calibration numbers. It isnвЂ™t as excellent as the NEC is, but it is around half the price.

The Dell produces very accurate shades of green and well-rendered skin tones, making it a good choice for more color sensitive work. Blue is the color we are least sensitive to, so errors in blue are more acceptable than errors in greens or reds. On this test the best monitors manage to do much better with those tricky shades of blue than the Dell does, but this doesnвЂ™t really worry me that much. When targeting 100 nits of light output for print work, we see a dE of 1.85, which is good but not as excellent as the 200 nits numbers are. It is significantly better than the pre-calibration one, but many users will be fine without the extra step. There are no issues with the grayscale or anything else after calibration, and you wind up with a very nice, accurate image. This outperforms almost all of the 27вЂќ displays seen to this point, and those that do out-perform it cost significantly more. For reference, in YCbCr mode I only managed to calibrate to a dE of around 3, which is far worse than the 1.62 from RGB mode. With such stellar out-of-the-box numbers I had really high hopes for how the Dell would perform after a calibration.

For most people, this will likely be good enough performance as it is quite accurate and the errors should be mostly invisible to the naked eye. Dell includes a calibration report in the box and in this case it really seems to have paid off. The average dE is only 3.15 and the maximum value is only 5.75, which is lower than the average of most displays. Our targets for calibration are D65 for the white point, 200 nits of light output, a gamma of 2.2, and a minimum black level.В Once set up correctly, using the included profile and sRGB mode, the Dell provides the best out-of-box performance that IвЂ™ve measured so far. These only apply to the included sRGB mode in the display, so you should make sure to use that, and reset your video card LUT, to achieve these results. When using this display, make sure to check the video signal format, as it handles RGB much better.Дell includes a report for how the monitor should perform, and unlike other vendors that promise a certain dE, Dell shows what they tested and what the results are. This issue didnвЂ™t happen with an ATI or NVIDIA card, so I have to think it was something specific to the MacBook. Using a StarTech MiniDP to DVI adapter let me drive the Dell at full resolution but in the RGB colorspace. Some investigation found that on the MacBook Air when using DisplayPort sends YCbCr color information instead of RGB color information, and so I was getting worse results. When testing the Dell U2713HM my standard way, using a 2010 Macbook Air, my initial performance numbers were not very good at all.
