RE: LG Display Reveals 5" Mobile LCD With Stunning 1080p Resolution, 440ppi

Judging from the panel specs, quite an impressive little computer - the term «smartphone» strikes me as an egregious misnomer. But we need a test - how about it, HH ?...

RE: 30-inches of Precision: A Look at Dell's UltraSharp U3011 30-inch Monitor

mhenriday — Thu, 10 May 2012 19:50:25 GMT

I really like that 16:10 form factor, with which I am familiar from my current 24" HP LP2465, but the problem is that the Dell costs about 2/3 as much again as the 27" 16:9 Samsung SyncMaster models with PLS panels, S27A850T and S27A850D, respectively, that I've been eying. And while a larger screen would be nice, the 27" models do provide a sharper image, due to lesser pixel size at max resolution, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the quality of the Samsung models is superior. O well, while waiting for a solution to this problem of what to choose to turn up, I save money, which is probably a good thing as were I to purchase any one of these three models, I'd also have to upgrade from my ancient Geforce 7900 GTX to something significantly more powerful in order to run them....

Re: Dell UltraSharp 3008WFP 30-inch LCD

I bought this monitor to do Photoshop color work on and the one I got is totally unacceptable for use in that regard.
I calibrated using i1 Photo through every possible configuration (dvi-1 & 2 , vga, native, A98, Manual, factory default , etc., on a mac using OS X, with essentially the same result. If you set a NEUTRAL gray background (desktop) it is not consistent in color or density to the eye. Mine was reddish on the right, green/cyan on top yellowish across the bottom , and blotchy brightness-wise across the whole panel.

IT IS NOT THE VIEWING ANGLE-as the colors and effects did not change as you moved your head only the intensity of the defect.

The monitor profiles just fine (but I had to reduce brightness from 75 [factory] to 3 to achieve 120 ft/candels) and the gammut does closely match the A98 color space as they say- even exceeding it in the red/magenta axis, just shy in the green but if you are planning on WYSIWYG color calibrated & profiled workflow this is panel (just mine?) is not gonna cut it.

FWIW, I POSTED ESSENTIALLY THIS SAME INFO ON THE DELL WEBPAGE FOR THIS MONITOR AND THEY HAVE NEGLECTED TO POST IT ALONG WITH THE MORE FAVORABLE LESS CRITICAL REVIEWS.

I even said that for for less critical applications this would probably be an awesome monitor.
I have 2 older Dell displays (2405's) that are not nearly as advanced as this one and one Apple 23" Cinema Display that I use daily for color work for years now, and they do not display the same anomalies as the 3008 WFP .

ALSO their "TECH SUPPORT" is a JOKE. They read to you from the user manual that you get with the purchase.
THERE IS NO MONITOR EXPERT TO HELP SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS OTHER THAN BASIC SET UP FUNCTION and CONNECTIVITY - THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO.

I may give them one more shot with an exchange but The EIZO for 25% more may be a smarter if not more painful solution. Or wait for the new Apples....

BUYER BEWARE.
But that's just my experience, your mileage may vary......

Sorry, but I join in just today. Your monitor (I have the same model - working good) have problem with internal power supply (to fix ~40$), or power switch (~$10 if you deliver to any shop), or most unfortunate is a backlite panel we talking of $60-80. If you consider byu new one go to www.factorydirect.com (or .ca) and try ACER good quality series, refurbished in ~$160. Also try to sell them your monitor range $50-100. In Canada it is possible. Goosd luck Leo
