Does it do 75hz without frame skipping? I may just swap my u2711 for this. Hmmmmmmmm......

Yes, at 75 it's fine but as soon as I touch 80 it starts to skip. I had my doubts when I purchased this screen, I had a U2713HM which I loved for the picture quality but I wanted something better for gaming. I tried the Benq Xl2720T but the less said about that experience the better so I went for this and 2 weeks in and I have absolutely no regrets. Dell were excellent with exchanging my first panel and it's nice knowing I have that level of service for 3 years.

Thanks for the info doctorsplendid :). I think I will go for this, see how it is in comparison with my u2711 and decide which to keep.
 
1Deep you should post in here confirming 75HZ working so people can get an idea of how common it is.

But yea thats two now at 75HZ.Looks like a very very nice monitor.
 
75hz works a treat in nvidia control panel, anything more results in frames being dropped. Hopefully more people who have this screen can see if theirs can do the same. Dell should have advertised this as 75hz if they can all do it comfortably.
 
Got mine today, Feb 2013 Rev A01

It does have a slight bezel issue but nothing major and you dont see it when looking at the screen.

Need to change afew settings about running on a late Mac Mini 2012, but apart from that looks amazing compared to my old trusty Prolite 2407HDS :)

Now just to find some decent HD wallpapers :)

I was looking at this monitor after sending my U2713HM back because of light bleed.

My only concern is the resolution, i don't see many people in the near future producing many things in 2560 x 1080 so you would have to watch quite a few movies with black bars.

Has anyone viewed movies on it, what are the colours and clarity like, apart from it being widescreen how does it compare to the U2713HM quality wise, does it come factory calibrated ?

Films are fantastic on it, colours are good, not as punchy as say a u2713h or u2711 but that's due to the wide gamut they have. However, punchy colours come at the cost of accuracy. I would think the image would be similar to a u2713hm, the black level may be marginally better on the u2913wm.

It does come factory calibrated, you get a unique report in the box, it actually is pretty good. I used an i1 Display to calibrate my screen and it looks great.

What settings are you guys running? Using with Mac mini.

I'm using brightness 32 for daytime (lower during the evening) contrast stays at 75. I use custom colour mode with red 93 green 93 and blue 98. This is on a windows 8 pc.
 
Lads how do u get 3:3 pulldown for bluray on this beauty then? Or is that handled by Nvidia.

Basically displaying the bluray frame rate 3 times 24x3 would give a nice 72hz on the monitor which some can do no problem.


I realised this is the exact same format as the cinema.A wider 21:9 aspect ratio and 24 frames displayed 3 times at 72hz.
 
Well I use media player classic along with smooth video project and reclock to display videos/films/blurays. I usually don't like adding motion interpolation but SVP allows you to customise how strong you want it to be, hence I use it mildly and it smooths videos very nicely without losing that cinematic feel.

for gaming my U2713HM just doesn't compare.

Can you elaborate on this please? I am in the market for a new monitor at the minute and I am looking at the U2713HM at the minute purely because of size.

My current monitor is a 2407WFP (2006) and it's still going strong so I am thinking of another dell monitor. The only issue is I think 27" is pushing it because I sit that close to my desk, never mind a 29". But if there are gaming advantages this monitor has over the 27" I would sacrifice the health of my vision for that any day :)
