the colour temperature remains similar to the 'standard' mode at ~6500k. The dynamic contrast ratio is If you're using DVI connection, ensure that a Dual Link DVI cable is used (Supplied together with the monitor). I tried to compare my results with Dell U2410 and before calibration that is no doubt that U2412M is a better performer in this area. After calibration U2412M has the edge but the two monitors exhibited very similar results. Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps to determine if the screen abnormality you are experiencing is an inherent problem with the monitor, or with the computer and video card. To run the built-in diagnostics:

Colors are not 100 % accurate and slightly too reddish (because of too low color temperature). Gamma rises from 2.05 in the dark tones to 2.23 in the bright tones, meaning that dark colors are slightly too dark. You can also choose from these picture presets: Standard, Multimedia, Movie, Game, Text, Color Temp and Custom Color. All in all Dell U2412M is a great addition to Dell’s line-up of UltraSharp PC monitors. However, we do not view it as an improvement over the current U2410, and Dell also tells us that U2410 will function as a step-up model in the future. If you can live without HDMI and do not require the wide gamut panel, I think U2412M is a great value for money monitor and I therefore award it with our Highly Recommended Award. Ensure that the video cable connecting the monitor and the computer is properly connected and secure. Out of-box measurements show that Dell’s monitor has fairly good color characteristics in the Standard preset.Picture quality on Dell U2412MOut-of-box picture quality on Dell U2412M is measured below in the Standard picture preset. The new U2412M has more rounded and softer edges. The bezel is still made from plastic and the monitor now uses physical buttons instead of touch button on the U2410.

We’re seeing an increasing number of IPS panels, as the price of this high-end LCD technology seems to be falling into consumer territory. Unlike last month’s Hazro HZ27WC, Dell’s U2412M is aimed at a business market, which might excuse the fact that it’s twice the price of a budget 24in monitor. You do get a lot for your money, though. comfortable setting for your individual preferences. It was also good to see some USB ports available After calibration we saw very accurate color reproduction with almost zero deviations in either dark or bright areas of the grey scale. Gamma is very close to our 2.2 target and color temperature is almost spot-on. million colour palette. It's not something you'd notice in practice, and you do have to look very closely to see it. All other products will be delivered via the fastest available method (excluding bank holidays and weekends) and generally within 3-5 days, depending on customer location.Although the pop-up window disappears during writing, if you eject your media while the LED is still blinking, then you cannot complete your action on the media. Response time and gamesI moved on to examine response time. Dell U2412M is pretty fast and although it has motion blurring, it is one of the better IPS panels I have examined. IPS panels are not as fast as 120 Hz TN panels but personally I have no problem with using an IPS panel for casual and semi-serious gaming. I compared U2412M to U2410 and saw that U2412M actually has less motion blurring that U2410 – mostly in the darker picture areas. On the other hand U2412M has slightly more overdrive trailing. Nothing serious, and nothing to worry about for most users, but I think that critical gamers might prefer the lower level of overdrive trailing on U2410.

As stated in the beginning of this review Dell U2412M uses an eIPS panel. eIPS panels have most of the same image characteristics as other IPS variants, which also means that the dirty / crystalized panel coating is present. Some people prefer VA panels because of this. However, if you are used to working in front of an IPS panel, you will have no problem with U2412M. On the other hand; if you feel distracted by the crystalized coating on IPS panels, U2412M is not different from most other IPS based monitors. So, let us move on to our practical tests. In the following sections I will examine Dell U2412M with our stress tests in movies, games and such, as well as with our self-developed monitorTest software. I will also include comparisons to Dell’s current U2410 monitor.should be fine here with the lower range available. A setting of around 26% should offer you a luminance of ~ 120 cd/m 2. Our tests revealed that U2412M performs like most mid-range IPS monitors. The bright and mid-intensity colors are reproduced almost flawlessly. The darker end of the color gradient gave us some bands, but nothing serious. Actually, compared to U2410 performance on U2412M is remarkable similar. U2410 has marginally better color gradation in the semi-dark areas but on the other hand U2412M distinguishes the darkest grey tones better.

The high resolution on U2412M matches that of U2410, which is fantastic. More and more monitors seem to embrace the Full HD marketing term and thus only offer 1920x1080 pixels. The vertical resolution on U2412M is instead 1200 pixels and that actually makes a significant difference in for example Photoshop editing and CAD. The stand is smaller and has the same soft look as the bezel. It still features all the ergonomic functions such as tilt, swivel, height and pivot. You can also move it slightly higher and lower than U2410.

Color accuracy is an important factor but color gradation is equally important. We use color gradients to examine color gradation and we aim for perfectly smooth color gradients without “bands”. aspect ratio control options through the OSD 'display settings' menu as shown above.
