Product Information

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. Using the Game preset, Dragon Age II looked excellent on the U2412m with a high vibrancy and dramatic color pop. Same as movies, no obvious color tint problems were present.

Our colorimeter recorded maximum luminance as 217 cd/m 2 and Picture quality on Dell U2412MOut-of-box picture quality on Dell U2412M is measured below in the Standard picture preset.The Standard picture mode is not as accurate as the sRGB mode on Dell’s other UltraSharp monitors, such as the U2410, but the Standard preset on U2412M is fairly good. Dell U2412M has no sRGB preset and therefore we moved on to calibrate the monitor right away.

corrected now to leave us with 0% deviance from the target of 2.2 and white point was basically spot on at 6502k Recommended settings: Each preset is tailored quite well for its task. For general use, however, I preferred the standard preset, adjusting only green to about 90 percent. This gave the monitor great color balance, perfect for general use. Viewing anglesViewing angles are much wider than on TN panels and also wider than on VA panels that are used in Samsung’s more expensive monitors and most Eizo monitors. Color intensity changes from angles but not much.The number on the left is the delta value. Delta is a difference between two factors; here it’s the difference between the measured color on the panel and the actual color that is our target. 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. If you're using DVI connection, ensure that a Dual Link DVI cable is used (Supplied together with the monitor).

Different still is input lag, which is, put simply, the time it takes from when you input an action through your keyboard, mouse, or gamepad to when you see that action represented onscreen. Every monitor has a degree of input lag, but only a very small percentage of people would even notice it. Given that, it's not something I find valuable enough to test for. PSA, over.
