Product Information

As this is the standard layout expected by both Mac and Windows machines, there’s no need to run ClearType as a Windows user or worry about text fringing on Mac systems.

We used the Lagom tests for viewing angle to further analyse colour consistency and viewing angle performance. Brighter shades such as lights, explosions and the sky had a little graininess from the screen surface but still appeared relatively smooth. This value was not altered by using the ‘Game’ preset, but was significantly higher (>20ms) when the monitor was set to run at a non-native resolution. Indeed, this sounds impressive but we can’t be really sure if we don’t put it through our series of tests (which we surely will).

Red, green, and blue colors, which are represented by the colored dots, are all aligned with their ideal CIE coordinates, which are represented by the boxes. Additionally, there is a certified calibration sheet, where you can see the data from Dell’s lab results before the monitor left the factory. A clip on the rear of the UltraSharp 24 sees the monitor locked securely into place once you attach the stand riser, which slots neatly into the stand base. Inside, you’ll find the power cable, a DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable and a USB Type-A to Type-B cable for expanding your device’s USBs.

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. The fully adjustable stand (‘H’ model) or monitor arm (‘HA’ model shown here) is really the key feature from this orientation. A shot is also included from a fast 60Hz reference – a Samsung S27A750D running at 60Hz and at full brightness (avoids PWM usage).Useful ‘Low Blue Light’ type settings are also found and the backlight maintains flicker-free status throughout the brightness adjustment range. There is a DisplayPort-out port that allows you to daisy-chain multiple monitors together when used with supported video cards.

However, Dell is trying to win you with its supposed 99% of sRGB coverage and accurate colors, resulting in an average dE of below 2. A higher DeltaE value represents greater deviation from the 6500K (D65) daylight white point than lower values. Included in the box are a DisplayPort and USB (upstream) cable, a Quick Start Guide, and a resource CD containing drivers and a User Manual. The backlight is therefore considered ‘flicker-free’, which will be appreciated by those sensitive to or worried about the effects of PWM usage.On the horizontal axis, you will find the grayscale and on the vertical axis – the luminance of the display. This indicates a low viewing angle dependency to the gamma curve of the monitor, as you’d hope from an IPS-type panel. The PLS panel used here offers a slightly lighter matte screen surface, which although not as smooth as some does provide a slightly smoother view of lighter shades such as white.
