Review:
Zuerstmal you have to know that Amazon provides the revision A04 (September). However, there is now the revision A06 (November). However, I could see no difference in the net and you will find nothing. A04 but it should be, because it was carried out changes in the card reader and the USB ports in the previous revisions.
I can send an A04 Amazon me only:
+ No dead pixels
- About 2 hours cracked the display / housing getting warm
Replacement device Amazon A04:
- Many pixel errors in several places, even a "strip", which consisted of more than 8 pixel defects
+ No cracking
Dell then the A06:
- A pixel error
- No cracking
- Sau expensive (639, - EUR Amazon vs. 791, - EUR Dell)
+ 3 Years Premium Panel Warranty (Exchange on site + pixel accuracy)
- The guarantee did not cover the pixel errors, because he was dead. It applies only in brightly lit pixels (sorry, but I do not pay, so went back)
General:
+ HDMI can output 2560x1440. Unfortunately, the HDMI port goes with me only on an Intel HD 4000 and therefore just 55Hz. But I think 60Hz should also go if the graphics card does that. The little brother U2713HM can not incidentally,
(Eg HDMI source can also display) + monitor dominated Picture in Picture and Split Screen
+ Monitor dominated MST / daisy chain, ie with DisplayPort 1.2 can be connected in a position multiple monitors using a cable (looped through)
- All monitors produced a very faint buzzing. Can you live with.
- Monitors all ticked like a clock in standby with a clicktronic Dispayport cable (other monitors from Dell, Fujitsu and Eizo showed no such behavior). At first I thought to a ground fault or interference, but the new routing the cable brought any more than the removal of the notebook power supply. The attached Displayport cable from Dell on the other hand went without error. Remains a mystery to me what should have been.
- All the monitors showed in all 4 corners Glowing. The difference was very small. However, already rich small angle changes to the Glowing strong zoom. This is true only for large areas of single color. Primarily black.
- The split screen distorts a 16: 9 screen, which is almost nonsense with all due respect, because it is indeed a 16: 9 monitor is
- The capacitive buttons are responsive like an old Nokia Symbian smartphone. Often you have to press several times. Holding the monitor with your right hand, and presses the entire surface with the thumb it works much better than for example with a simple clue what is unhelpful but if you have multiple monitors are side by side. Since you wish for the normal buttons of U2713HM
- The U2713HM shows much less Glowing (at 0 degrees, it was perfect for me) and the black level from U2713HM was also much better
- All monitors with extended color spaces / sRGB / AdobeRBG goodness have a slightly increased power consumption generally. We are talking about but of 30 vs. 60 watts maximum. So is actually negligible. A TFT without LED lighting that time consumes 100-200 watts.
- The German translation of the menus is bad ("on" has been translated as "on" instead of "at")
- "Energy Smart" does not save energy but, in my opinion a kind Movie Mode. You mean in dark sequences of the screen dims from bright and on. When I try to save energy I finally expect the opposite or not depending on the image content, but on the ambient brightness. Dimming is by the way very slowly in single steps. Is so very annoying and therefore useless.
All in all, I find the monitor well. I would, however, with a pixel preliminary check him buy (Some dealers offer this) or you exchange it at Amazon long by up to a no / irrelevant (subpixels on the edge or something) is pixel errors here. But then as I said also checked whether he picks getting warm.
I'm waiting now on the Asus PA279Q. The has normal buttons, test winner has become at chip and the test of Prad reads Also similar to the Dell U2713H. Where Prad and Chip have criticized the power consumption and Prad has evaluated the power consumption of the U2713H at least with a simple plus and although the Dell consumes more power (based on test). Understand that whoever wants. PS even if that does not look at first glance. The Asus is very well rated on Amazon. There are many negative reviews from 23 inches there. So quiet times to see through all the reviews. Then I think my case be;)
