    How much do they weigh?

    And what do they taste like? I hope they don't leave that awful metallic and plastic taste in your mouth like most of other monitors I've tried.

    Why aren't there any consumer grade 16:10 monitors??? I'd buy this if it was closer to $200-250. But 400-500? I just can't justify that for 1080x1200. Maybe the Surface Studio can spark interest in large 3:2 high res displays. Maybe...

    You can get the U2415 in that range, 99% sRGB, Calibarater, still thin bazels, USB 3.0 Hub, DP1.2 MST output. Maybe its 2 something years old, but its a great panel.

    Personally I still love mine, and OFC that 16:10 ratio, shame there are no modern 27" 1600P monitors, as this is the logical upgrade path.

    +1 to all of this. I have the predecessor Dell to that model, and it's great. And, I too wish I had a 16:10 upgrade path available aside from prosumer options. I even ponder a Korean 30" import with all the associated hassles since it's one of the few >24" 16:10 options out there.

    Still rocking 3x U2412M here, the display market keeps shifting so much that ideal replacements keep lapping each other just over the horizon... At this point I think I'd rather have a much larger 4K panel but even then I'm not sure there's a near ideal choice.

    Tbh from personal experience with increasing size the need for :10 vertical ratio is quite diminishing... I'd badly miss it on 21/22" but don't miss it at all on 27"...

    I've got one of those at work because it was the highest resolution supported by the USB3 docking stations they're using. It's a beautiful display and my only regret is that it makes my other monitor (a generic 22" 1080p TN on a non-adjustable garbage stand) look like the piece of crap that it is.

    I'm viewing this on a U2415 right now, and can confirm it's a fantastic monitor! (and cheap for what it is, IMO)

    Picked up an hp zr30w for $100 recently, look through craigslist locally.

    Nice score @shabby! I got one for $100 once that had non-working dvi port and was under warranty. HPs workstation line has 3 year overnight service... 1 day after I got it a guy came to my house with a brand new refurb haha.

    the HP elitedisplay is business orientated, but it's in the range of ~$250 or so. Look for E241i and E242.

    My 22" Asus had died on me and I began looking for a new monitor...Lots of cheap 19/22/24/27 16:9, when I came across the U2413 I believe, the predecessor to the U2415, then I read that the new version had been launched, so I sprinted for a U2415... Great 16:10, not very expensive(cost me around 260 euros if I recall right), and I have been using it for about a year now, no problems, no dead pixels. If you want a good 16:10 IPS, get the Dell U2415.

    Ok specs but are we back in 2005 man are those monitors thick for being just released. Are these business class monitors if so I guess that explains why they are so thick being we are in the time frame of everything getting thinner and thinner...lol
  • Murloc - Thursday, October 27, 2016 - link

    you're free to buy thin monitors but some people prefer the thin bezels.
  • rocky12345 - Thursday, October 27, 2016 - link

    Actually I prefer to have both thin bezel and a thin monitor...Which I currently have on my main home system.
  • DanNeely - Friday, October 28, 2016 - link

    In Ezio's target market the thinness of the bezel is probably secondary to the consistency of the backlighting; and backlighting is more consistent when it's actually backlights (smaller bezels/thicker panels) instead of edge lights (larger bezels/thinner panels)

    24" FHD 60Hz monitor for $569? Seriously? Dell already has slim-bezeled 24" monitor at around $200 AFAIK.

    Hi, would you know if the stands for EV2450 and EV 2456 are compatible? thank you.
