Pretty sure this model just came out in the middle-late of this year, but as you say, these prices come up at least every month.
Don't know where you buy from, but it's hardly gone below $629 this year, let alone the last few as you stated…
"these prices aren't even considered a bargain anymore, its pretty much been that price for the past few years.."
Pretty sure I saw the exact comment somewhere. Feel like dejavu lol
got 2 arriving Thursday :D
Got them for around $612.50 with 5 years warranty :D Should last me till the next best things out…
How noticeable is this vs a 27" 1920 x 1080 monitor?
What monitor are you comparing to? Is it a 27" IPS?
IMHO anything over 24" needs to be greater than 1920x1080…
Oh nothing specific, just like the many $250-$300 monitors that are 27" at umart. Most don't mention they are IPS
apples vs. cauliflower
There is no comparison
It's a huge difference. At 27" the low pixel density is quite noticeable - you sit much closer to a monitor than your 1080p TV.
I have one of these, and can't recommend it highly enough. Sure, it's a sizable price premium over the budget 1080p 27"-ers, but with the amount of time I spend at my computer, it's definitely worth it.
Awesome thanks for the info. Does anyone know of any other dell promos that can be combined with this?
does it have a good response time for gaming?
For me, I don't notice any issues with it (specs say 8ms), but for me 12-16ms is when I start noticing ghosting, and monitors have been better than that since about 2005.
A bigger issue with gaming is that the large resolution can cause more noticeable tearing in game, which means you need to enable v-sync. That, coupled with the high res can put quite a load on your video card for newer games - my GTX285 which, although a few years old is still a fairly high end card, was struggling to stay >30FPS on games like Skyrim and The Witcher 2.
Don't ask such ground breaking questions…
It's OKish
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/content/dell_u2713hm.htm…If it's mainly for games you might be better off getting a 1080p 27".
How does this compare with a gaming monitor? Gaming monitor is basically just 120hz and low refresh like 2ms right?
Most (all?) 120hz monitors are not IPS, so worse colour and viewing angles.
Not great for movies and games where the visuals are important (as opposed to say competition-level FPS where you need that 120hz).
depends on your eyesight and/or your glasses.
Personally, I had two of Dell's 27 inch monitors (the previous model I think) and found the text to be too small, I ended up selling 'em
text to be too small,
What do you mean? You couldn't figure out how to zoom in your browser and/or increase the DPI setting in windows?
Ppppssshhhh the proper way to fix this problem is to run your monitor at 640x480.
these prices aren't even considered a bargain anymore, its pretty much been that price for the past few years..
