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.
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.
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
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)

How much do they weigh?Wardrop - Thursday, October 27, 2016 - link
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.Ej24 - Wednesday, October 26, 2016 - link

I'm viewing this on a U2415 right now, and can confirm it's a fantastic monitor! (and cheap for what it is, IMO)shabby - Wednesday, October 26, 2016 - link
Picked up an hp zr30w for $100 recently, look through craigslist locally.javishd - Thursday, October 27, 2016 - link

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

24" FHD 60Hz monitor for $569? Seriously? Dell already has slim-bezeled 24" monitor at around $200 AFAIK.msgbp - Friday, September 6, 2019 - link
Hi, would you know if the stands for EV2450 and EV 2456 are compatible? thank you.
