I ordered the Dell UltraSharp monitor to replace an old HP monitor that had 3 lines of dead pixels in it. I needed a monitor that I could calibrate for Lightroom and Elements photo work. I research items heavily before I make a purchase. This one was in the price range that I could afford, and the reviews were very helpful in making my decision.
The 1920x1200 16:10 ratio gives me a ton of space for all my needs. When working outside of the photo realm, I can easily open 2 programs up side-by-side and view practically full pages on the large screen.
The colors are extrodirany IMO. I found detail and color variations that was not visable on my old monitor... and that's a good thing! I have it calibrated with the Spyder4Pro.
I have only had the monitor for about a month now, but I am very very happy with it. I have had several comments made about the beauty and size of this screen. I absolutely love it. Functionally, I needed a quality monitor that would calibrate for photo editing - and I got that and so much more. I would recommend this monitor to others.
