Mac Pro Plug & Play,
It was a very simple Plug’n Play situation for my Mac Pro (Early 2009). Note that only a VGA cable is included in the box, so I had ordered the Dell 6.5ft DVI-D Male/Male Display Cable (A0497000). The DVI-D cable connects directly to the Mac Pro DVI-D female connector–no adapter required. Power up the monitor and then the Mac Pro, and the auto-sensing does the rest. They mate up in the native 1920 X 1080 resolution at 60 Hertz. No sweat.
The OSD is very easy to use and the side buttons have a good feel. There is even a way to set up two shortcuts for quick access to the OSD options of your choice. The OSD is invoked by four buttons on the lower right side of the screen.
The only adjustments I’ve made so far is to use the side control buttons to adjust the Brightness down to 51 and Contrast down a little to 71. I also went into the Mac Pro’s System Preferences and changed the Color Profile to “Display Calibrated” from the default “Dell ST2410.” I did not perform any of the calibration adjustments available under the “Calibrate” menu, just selected the “Display Calibrated” from the left column.
The monitor only has tilt adjustment, no height adjustment. The center of the screen is about 10″ above your desk surface. Depending on your seating, you may wish to place the monitor on a secure raiser of 2″ to 3″.
For a TN monitor, it has very sharp text and outstanding graphics. Running a basic “dead pixel” detector, I did not notice any stuck pixels. Dell does state in their warranty they find up to 5 defective pixels acceptable. As with all TN panels, the best picture is obtained viewing straight on. It may not be the best choice for a dual-monitor setup where each monitor is at an angle.

|Good monitor, great value, poor stand, no VESA mount,
Large monitor with good quality video. Glossy frame and white back is a little funky, but no big deal. Lack of an adjustable stand can be a problem. However, the deal breaker for me was when I thought about mounting it on a standard VESA mount a year later. No VESA compatibility?! That’s ridiculous.

|Top Notch, Great Bang for the Buck,
I bought a set of these to replace my Samsung 226BW 22″ monitors. I will say even though the 22″s were a wee bit clearer after adjusting everything and upgrading the video card they completely rock. I used a dual setup with a Nvidia 9500GS card with no issue and now upgrading to a ATI HD5770 card. I don’t know what the previous user said about not being able to set up a dual monitor display with the Nvidia cards, they work fine. I think people need to not write reviews if you have no knowledge how to use, adjust and set up monitors or work with video cards. I only see 3 star negative reviews from people who have no clue what they are doing.
The only con I found was the monitor was no height adjustable, but since my desk is high enough it does not affect me.
Also people need to stop using the VGA adapter and start using the HDMI adapter. If your video card does not have an HDMI adapter then you should upgrade your video card before investing in a monitor. VGA adapters are piss poor old school technology and the visual quality from a VGA adapter, is far less quality than the HDMI adapter. I am running these monitors at full resolution using dual HDMI adapters and will say HDMI ROCKS HD big time! I bought these monitors from Dell at $189.99 with a $70 off special and they are TRULY THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!
