Overall Review:
I've always wanted a Dell Ultrasharp since I fool around with Photoshop. I was getting tired of my images looking different from one monitor to the next. I needed an accurate reference and the Newegg sale provided an a great opportunity to try one out.
Compared to my 144hz BenQ XL 2411z this monitor brings out more warmth and richness to the pictures. You do not have to do anything (like calibrating color profiles) as this item is factory calibrated.
I personally think the accurate colors make everything I do on my desktop more enjoyable, however, you might want to think twice if you've ever used a 144 Hz monitor.
The Ultrasharp is SLOW by comparison. You will notice more motion blurs. Some fast animations in video games outright skip around (for example, Kalista's hopping doesn't seem as smooth/fluid).
Vs a TN panel you're basically trading accuracy for speed, and for me accuracy is much more preferred. I like my games looking prettier than running smoother ha!
At any rate, I'm really liking this monitor. I think Newegg's sale price of $239.99 is more reasonable given 2560 x 1440 will be the new norm soon. I wish Dell would make a version without all the extra USB ports and cut the cost down a notch for people that do not require the extra fluff.
