Dell U2412M Review and Testing. Optimum option? Review and testing of the Dell U2412M monitor

About the unsuccessful experience of buying a monitor (lyrics)

About the new monitor For our stationary computer, the households have thought for a long time. The first attempt to buy it through the online store turned out to be unsuccessful. Chose one of the models Acer According to the description, everything seemed to be arranged - both characteristics, and the price ... I didn't even take into account the fact that when receiving in the issue item, the device cannot be checked. On this and regained. Brought home, connected - uniformly connected across the screen vertical strips! And do not completely be removed, no settings, nor the cable reconnect, nor reinstalling drivers!

I will not describe the whole epic in detail, I will only say that with this monitor we were toured for three weeks, I had to call many times, it was several times to drive, a hundred times to explain what was the matter, write statements, then listen to that allegedly service centerWhere our monitor was sent, they said that "everything is in order", etc. I remember, at some stage, casually sounded: "Well, you want too much - for such money ..." (monitor cost 5555 rubles).

Why we chose the Dell U2412M-BK

I translate the spirit slightly (we still returned money), we resumed searches. This time - the science of bitter experience - firmly deciding that we take:

a) only a professional brand,

b) only on the conditions of detailed verification upon receipt.

They went to intelligence in several stationary specialized stores. Consulted with managers, watched "live" to different monitors. Realized that we are satisfied with the models with IPS matrix. These monitors have a much better picture - and the clarity above, and the color reproduction is more natural. Cleanly visually liked the most of the Dell models. In principle, all of the minus competent managers advised either dell or samsung.

We on the family council decided in advance that less 24 inchesin the diagonal, we will not take - it is not seriously somehow at current times. Eventually stopped on Dell U2412m.. It was the most "square" (with all its widescreen!) Monitor in the category chosen by us. Although even such parameters ( 16:10 ) We were embarrassed, but all other models were even more elongated - almost 1: 2. And no matter how much I would not assure that "Now all sites, all programs are written under such a format," for me it is too much. Against the background of other monitors in the store, this seemed to us the most qualitative in terms of accurate mapping and lack of distortion.

With testing when buying in a specialized store, problems would not have arisen. Managers walked for us on the heels and were ready, it seems to fulfill any our whim. But the trouble - prices!

I had to go home and save the Internet. Reviewed consistently a number of points, starting with the smallest prices, asked the same question: "Test upon receipt can be"? The first who answered yes was Yulmart. . I will not describe the order procedure and check in the hypermarket of this network and extend about the advantages and minuses, who is interested in it in detail about it here. Add only that the monitor cost 12860 rubles(for a thousand more than rubles cheaper than in the nearest specialized store).

At home, it was not so difficult to deal with the installation and connection. We, having remembered about the recent past, were waiting with the sinking of the hearts - what kind of "surprise" will this monitor presented for us? Suddenly with our computer, he will work worse than in the store? Suddenly some incompatibility? .. Suddenly the stripes again? .. But, fortunately, the sequence of sellers that Dell products are very high-quality and reliable, it turned out to be true.

Actually about the monitor

The picture is really good, Without blots, the colors are clean thanks to the IPS matrix. About the fact that LCD monitors, unlike electron beam, do not give radiation (Sorry for involuntary tautology) and consume less energy, it is probably unnecessary. It turns on and off almost silently. It is difficult to get used to the elongated format 16:10, but nothing.

For those who, like me, is interested in photography, this monitor is generally a fairy tale. Image processing is an order of magnitude better than the TN matrix! Many settings, factory and manual.

Pixelization minimum Compared to the monitors on the TN-matrix, the widest viewing angle. Convenient and what the screen can be adjusted in height. Provisions (above-below) can be tilted at an angle to the table surface, and if desired, expand 90 degrees (if you work with a portrait).

Pleased for the presence USB portson the sides, it is very useful if there are no front outputs on the system unit.

What is not less important, display matteand practically does not glare, you can safely install in front of the window.

Conclusions that I and my households made from this story.

First, if, in your opinion, the technique works badly - trust yourself, and not the one who assures: "For such a price, it is normal." No need for such "normal"! So, if, God forbid, the screen of the monitor you bought will go strips or something like that, know that this is not "such a value for money", but a bad monitor! I'm talking about this, because I now have, with what to compare.

Second - trite: you want normal technique - you will have to upset.

Too thick frame, the bottom of the frame departs from the screen because of this dust falls there, although it can only be that I have such happiness ...
I have a suspicion that it is a 6-bit IPS, due to the banding on the desktop, and not an 8-bit one for such a body, unfortunately.

What did you like

One of best models in my opinion. The quality of the picture is amazing, whatever they say. The Dell U2412M monitor is very convenient, not only for the house but also for the work of graphics and D R. The price is not bad, the price is not translated for a high-quality model. Prior to that, there was a previous model in the same diaganal, Prabotal for more than 3 years and is still working.

What did not like

Yes, they can invent them with this monitor! The one who is able to see his flaws even look at the MONER cheaper $ 1500 will not look! For such money, the monitor is incredibly high-quality in all aspects! From the quality of manufacturing and magnificent convenience and thoughtfulness to stunning images on the EIPS matrix.

What did you like

RECOMMEND!!! Delivers incredible! Yuzayu is already a month - the delight does not decrease! - Pay attention - five stars of full (with a large number of reviews and a minimum of "cheated" votes)! Already talking about many things! - EIPS matrix for just 12,000 rubles! At such a price, it is definitely in all parameters exceeds TN affordable for the same money! The angles are amazing, color rendition - the blade dump! - the quality of manufacture, thought out of the technological design. - The gorgeous rack, reliable with a bunch of degrees of freedom - now I can not use monitors with other racks. The racks of all other monitors now seem cheap ill-conceived. I do not know how I can now use racks without elevator! - Thought about everything literally! I use the monitor and the feeling that this apple technique! Menu! It is one of the few models where a really convenient menu !!! It ... really comfortable! Side buttons - you can click on the edge of the monitor. Everything is logical and somehow crystal clear! - for such money such a matrix and such quality monitor is a fairy tale! Take without conversations! - Nothing there! I play in Debla - I do not see any tomosis. 6ms is enough for everyone! - a great short USB hub in a convenient location. Qualitative! The ports do not break in a week. In detail, I once again thought for what I could reduce the rating to "4". And I realized that for nothing. The monitor for such money is great !!! I do not think that there is something better for this money! Just dump a bank!

What did not like

black ceases to be black, with a complete darkness in the room - this is the effect of the so-called "illumination" at which the bluish glow can be seen instead of black. Of course, it can be used to this, this is such a feature of the backlight of pixels.

Dell - brand number 1 among monitors around the world. Dell monitors have more than 50 awards from specialized publications. Numerous positive reviews, as from leading magazines and web portals in the area computer technologySo and consumers guarantee quality, high level of performance and ease of use of these models.

The screen and the stand are packed separately, but the assembly is very simple, a teenager will cope with it without an instruction. You only need to fill special guides to holders and snap. The design looks harvested, but in fact it turns out very reliable.

As it should be a professional model, the stand allows you to adjust several parameters at once. It is very easy to change the height of the monitor, it is enough just to pull it up or down, the change in the angle of the screen is also adjustable, although it is a little more difficult - there is a hinge hinge, you have to put a little more effort. I liked that the monitor in one movement can be translated into portrait orientation. True, in some cases, during the reversal, the angle of the monitor rests on the stand, then you have to combine the settings to expand the screen by 90 degrees. The only thing that the stand does not know how, - to deploy the monitor around its axis, but it absolutely does not bother, in which case you can deploy together with the stand.

You can also place on the wall - the mount is compatible with many types of brackets. True, the bracket itself is not in the kit, it will need to buy separately.

Appearance and body

Indirectly, you can judge the design. This is an excellent example of conservatism and minimalism. Black matt case, thick frames around the screen, mechanical controls, coarse texture and complete absence of bright details. Only rear end Stands Yes Stripe on the side of the sides are painted in "Silver", the rest of the Mourning-black monitor. But it looks good at the same time. There is a certain harmony in the deliberate refusal of decorators and additional visual elements - do not distract it during work unnecessary. Such a monitor on style, probably, will not fit into the atmosphere of creative mess, but for strict offices or university audiences fit perfectly.

Plastic case. The quality of the material seemed to be high, but the assembly remained questions. No, nothing creaks and not falls off, but the gaps between the elements are not always smooth, and overall impression Some carelessness to overcome it difficult. On durability, this is true, does not affect. As we have already talked, the monitor is produced since 2011 and many users are briskly served for many years. Matte plastic is very practical, it is well resisting the appearance of scratches and fingerprints. True, dust is well noticeable on it, so to save the presentable appearance, the monitor must be regularly wiped.

Controls, interfaces

The control system also gives age - five mechanical buttons and not a single sensor element. The scheme is very bunciful, to deal with it simply, but you need a certain addiction. With one button of five, everything is clear - it is turned on and off. This button has an appropriate pictogram. In addition, it is the only backlit, so that it is comfortable to turn on and off the monitor in the dark.

With the rest of the buttons interesting. To call the settings window, it is enough to click on any of them. After that, the buttons begin to work as contextual, in any mode next to them the functions they are written. this moment Perform. In the first case, you have to choose between "ready-made modes", the "brightness and contrast" settings, "menu" and "output", and then already - what to choose. Section navigation is also carried out using these buttons.

Most interfaces are focused on the rear panel outputs down. DisplayPort, DVI-D, D-Sub, connector for connecting a monitor to USB and directly two USB ports for the user are placed in the row. Connect the cords at an attached holder is not very convenient, but it's good that even though the connectors are not very deeply recessed: the lambs on the DVI-D and D-Sub can be twisted without turning the palm.

Two more uSB ports Located on the left end of the monitor on a special "thief". Why do Dell engineers share ports, it is clear: you can enable permanent things such as charging or printers, and in the side - connect temporary items like flash drives. Note that all ports serves meals and through them you can recharge gadgets (if the current is suitable), and connect external hard disks.

Image quality

Dell does not disclose such information, but enthusiasts have long found out that the model is built on the AH-IPS type matrix manufactured by LG and has W-LED backlight. This is a very mainstream set, which is actively used in 24-inch monitors 16:10, not only the LG itself. Popularity is not accidental - the matrix has a lot strong Parties In terms of image quality. So in this sense does not fail.

The color coverage of the monitor is not recorded, but more than sufficient even to work with photographs, and it can be further increased by calibration. Brightness is enough, and in many presets it is even, perhaps, too much. You need to either reduce in the settings, or try to work on the monitor with additional light. There is no illumination sensor from the model, and it cannot change the brightness yourself. But if you do not shy manually adjust the values, then the adjustment range is impressed: at maximum brightness, it is possible to work even with a sunny light that falling on the screen, and with the minimum - do not worry about the eye in complete darkness.

With a thorough study, it was possible to detect the imperfect lighting of the backlight. The right lower edge is still a little brighter of their colleagues. True, it is noticeable only when viewing a film from the distant distance when the light is completely turned off and a one-photographic image. The color reproduction on the eye is very good - shades are bright, saturated, many halftones with smooth transitions and gradients. Good and white balance, although the specific color temperature depends on the presets of the settings.

It does not please the high response time of the matrix - 8 ms, while competitors even on the IPS matrix declare 6, and even 5 ms. In practice, if you look after, in very dynamic games you can notice a small train, but you do not come across everyday work with this problem. Although competitors today in this regard are a little faster, you won't call the results with depressing. There are no complaints about the corners of the review. If you look at the side, the picture almost does not lose contrast, and the white balance displacement becomes noticeable only in the limit values. In any case, an excellent result, especially on the background of amateur monitors with TN + Film matrices.

Process photos on this monitor - one pleasure

Working with the monitor

I liked it very much that in to get a high-quality picture, you do not have to cling to the settings for a long time. Actually, it is not necessary at all. Starting preset is the most balanced both on subjective impressions and by instrumental measurements. I willingly believe users who write in the reviews that they have connected the monitor, so never went into the settings and at the same time completely satisfied with the quality of the picture.

Presets are only seven: "Standard", "Multimedia", "Cinema", "Game", "Text", "Color Temperature", "Normal Color". Everyone has their own settings. So, for example, in the "text" brightness decreases noticeably, and in the "game", on the contrary, increases. The white balance is changing - even on the eye in different presets, shades are noticeable. But no matter how many presets would change, most of all we liked the starting.

At the same time, it is impossible not to note that lovers thin setting It may be disappointed because the possibilities of manual improvement of the image are completed on brightness, contrast, output and gamma format. And two latest settings Special meaning does not have because of the scarce of choice.

conclusions

Despite age, the monitor showed himself a proven fighter. Him high quality Images and thoughtful design. There are nothing to direct competitors. Age problems have a place to be: it is a great response time, and "old" interfaces (there is no fashionable HDMI today), and rather ancient, although not losing the relevance design. But the price allows you to reconcile with these shortcomings. The monitor costs 19 thousand rubles. Compared to mass models, it seems expensive, but for devices with the aspect ratio 16:10 is the lower price plan, other professional models are even more expensive. And if there is no opportunity to highlight more funds to buy, it is not scary - very good in professional work, even taking into account small flaws.
