This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65. The ports are down-firing; AC power input (internal power converter), HDMI (plus MHL), DP 1.2a, mDP 1.2a, DP out (for MST Daisy Chaining), 3.5mm audio output, USB upstream and 2 further USB 3.0 downstream ports (4 total). There is an orange plastic port cover over the DP out port which must be removed if you wish to use it. This is to stop you mistaking it for a DP input and wondering why you don’t get a signal when everything is connected up. A DP – MiniDP cable is included in the box along with a power cable. The contrast performance was quite pleasing on Battlefield 4 (BF4). When observing darker shades, particularly dark passages in the game such as tunnels and shaded interiors, there was a fair degree of detail lost due to ‘PLS glow’. This was most noticeable towards the bottom corners of the screen from a normal viewing position – the ‘bloom’ here was in line with what we’ve seen on other PLS models of this size and is slightly greater than observed on IPS models such as the U2414H. For the remaining areas of the screen, detail levels were very good in dark areas and much as they should be – aided by the consistent and correct gamma handling of the monitor. Brighter shades such as lights, explosions and the sky had a little graininess from the screen surface but still appeared relatively smooth. Slightly improved from the U2414H in fact. The contrast performance was largely in-line with the predecessor with static contrast that is about as good as you can expect from an IPS-type panel. The ‘PLS glow’ observed here ate away at some of the detail for dark shades peripherally and was a bit more obvious than the ‘IPS glow’ seen on the U2414H and some other models. This difference, we feel, isn’t something that’s worth stressing about though. Responsiveness was similar if a little weaker than the earlier model, too. There was little input lag to speak of, which is good, and overall the level of perceived blur was much as you would hope for from a 60Hz LCD. There were some weaknesses beyond that, such as a bit of extra blur due to slower than optimal pixel transitions and some slightly ‘dirty’ overshoot trailing in places. As with the ‘IPS glow’ vs. ‘PLS glow’, the predecessor had a slight edge but it isn’t something we think you should let put you off the newer model.
Lenovo ThinkPad L15 Gen 4 (Intel) review – sturdy business notebook that offers good comfort under load Oct 26, 2023 Its display covers 99% of the sRGB/ITU-R BT.709 (web/HDTV standard) in CIE1976 (it is able to represent almost all of the colors found on the Web). The Lagom text appeared a blended grey throughout without obvious green or red tints and certainly no transition between the two. This indicates a low viewing angle dependency to the gamma curve of the monitor, as you’d hope from an IPS-type panel. The image below gives a rough idea of how this test appeared from a normal viewing position. Colour uniformity is pretty good here, too. As you can see from the grid below, only one spot on the panel exhibited lower than average levels of brightness. spec (slightly more than the 96% quoted on the U2417HJ). Anyone wanting to work with wider colour spaces would need to considerColour reproduction was strong on BF4. The monitor delivered a great variety of shades in an accurate and highly consistent way – rich with appropriate depth throughout the screen. This helped the environments look vivid but natural with good variety – specifically, the variety of earthy browns and natural plant-like greens was impressive. The strength in colour reproduction also helped elements that are supposed to be vibrant (HUD elements, in-game markets, fires etc.) stand out in an appropriate way. The intensity of orange and red shades within fires and explosions, for example, left them looking vibrant but not overdone. It’s a Full HD display (1920 x 1080) and is set to this by default when you power it on for the first time.
By the way, it is great to see that Dell doesn’t use PWM to adjust the brightness of its display. Another great feature is the ergonomic stand. It offers swivel, tilt and pivot movement, as well as height adjustment. Not only this is good in terms of comfortability, but it is extremely useful for programmers and data specialists, that can utilize the vertical real estate. This monitor has a USB-out and multiple USB-in ports so that you can use it as a hub for your peripherals and only use one USB port on your laptop/computerAs we mentioned the OSD menu gives you a choice from “Standard”, “ComfortView”, “Multiscreen Match”, “Movie”, “Game”, “Color Temperature” and “Custom Color”. The U2419H is by no means a perfect monitor, but there’s no denying its viewing angles are strong Should I buy the Dell UltraSharp 24 Monitor U2419H? Not in the last place, there is 99% of sRGB coverage, which will provide a punchy image. Pair this with decently accurate colors in “Standard” mode (Average dE<2.0) and you get a reasonable offering for design work. If you need even more color accuracy, you can get our Gaming and Web design profile. Then even the maximum dE becomes less than 2.0. Dell’s UltraSharp monitors have long been one of the de facto choices for those seeking a stylish and feature-rich display with good image quality – and the Dell UltraSharp U2417H shows just why that reputation is justified.
We shouldn’t neglect the vertical adjustment, as well. It offers 130mm of total movement. In its bottommost point, the bottom side of the display sits 24.6mm above the foot. With the amount of movement you have in the topmost position, you can turn the display in its side, however, Dell advises against doing so. Instead, you want to tilt the panel upwards and only the pivot. Good static contrast and a screen surface that is relatively smooth and light, helping preserve image clarity and vibrancy Samsung LTM238HL04 PLS (IPS-type) technology panel which is capable of producing 16.7 million colours.Connectivity is also plentiful. You get a DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort and HDMI for video inputs, as well as a second full-size DisplayPort that’s an output for daisy-chaining a second monitor. There’s also an audio output so you can plug in speakers or headphones to listen to the audio being piped over the digital display connections – there are no built-in speakers. The full factory calibration is used here. The difference between this and ‘Standard’ is not profound. The gamma handling is slightly different, although only marginally so (both 2.2 on average) and overall colour balance similar. The colour gamut is also adjusted slightly as explored later, restricting the vibrancy slightly. Overall a very good balance to the image with this setting and certainly a pleasing factory calibration. power draw in the spec is related to having USB and SoundBar devices connected. Once calibrated the screen reached Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.
work in darkened room conditions with low ambient light. A setting of 47 in the OSD menu should return you a The strengths in colour reproduction were also apparent on Dirt Rally, which was again displayed in a pleasingly vivid but natural way. Vegetation was displayed with appropriate richness and variety, with a good range of subtly different pastel hues alongside some lusher shades. Some of the deeper greens weren’t as deep as we’ve seen on some models, but really that is a reflection of the accurate sRGB colour reproduction of the monitor. The car paint jobs showcased a nice range of vibrant pinks, purples and reds. These didn’t have the arresting vibrancy of some models but were certainly vivid and inviting. I also recorded a colour temperature of 6934K, which is slightly cooler/bluer than the target 6500K that most closely resembles natural light. our response time measurement article for a full explanation of the testing methodology and reported

Amazing panels, great color reproduction, fantastic thin bezels, fantastic stand that moves in every way you would need it to. A relatively light matte anti-glare screen surface is used on this monitor. This has a marginally smoother surface texture than Full HD AH-IPS models such as the U2414H and is very similar indeed to that used on the Samsung S24E390HL and its brethren. This provides only a slight graininess to the image, far less than on older IPS models in particular and less than most current Full HD models. The surface is not quite as smooth as the likes of the U2515H when viewing lighter shades, however. External glare handling characteristics are strong. We explore the impact of this screen surface on the image in various parts of the review. Looking sharp – the UltraSharp 24’s slender bezels and modest design obscure the fact this is a budget monitor Dell UltraSharp 24 Design – Super skinny bezel provides elegant style In terms of the display itself there’s not too much to shout about in terms of extra features. The “IPS-type” panel – it’s actually Samsung’s PLS technology – runs at 60Hz and has a reasonable 6ms response time, while the 1080p resolution is entirely typical for a display of this size. It also has an anti-glare coating made by 3M, and a modest maximum brightness of 250nits. Good colour, good viewing angles, style, etc. It is a fantastic monitor with exceptionally slim bezels and amazing colour.
