I have read reviews that the colors on this monitor are "off" - what do you think? I will be using for Photoshop.

yes, colors do look different to those on my previous laptop, and also on my extension desktop monitor. now i don't even know which version is "correct."

It does actually change a little bit when you tilt down or up, Otherwise I have no problems with it when I play video games, This laptop is the lowest temperature you can find in market, For Photoshop I think you will be just fine if you don't mind not to tilt the screen down/up. Mine is gtx 860m 4GB 16gb of ram. Version I hope that help you.

I as a tech savvy and game developer, have noticed the blurness of the screen, giving my eyes a hard time to readjust. This laptop's color are at most okay, but they aren't what the company States with UHD quality, even Windows doesn't adjust to it. The text and images look rather awful and I refrain from anyone having it, this is a gaming laptop which is better suited for those instead of media. That's only my opinion but I've owned two versions of this laptop.

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.

I have been pleased with this monitor. I use it for Indesign and Photoshop. I can pretty easily match the monitor color to my output device for consistent pleasing color. I have had this monitor about 8 months and use it in a dual monitor set up in Windows 8.1.

The colors are fantastic for this 27 inch monitor. I would not hesitate to recommend this monitor and you can't beat the price.

It actually has an AHVA screen which is similar to IPS (very wide angles, no color shift at extreme angles). I use IPS screens exclusively on my desktops, but I don't feel this is any worse for normal usage (I don't use it for graphics work so I don't know how accurate the color is).

Steven, link me to a 2D scrolling shooter, and I'll snap a picture of this monitor at 90 rotation. Right now just browsing the web I can see a slight haze on the screen. If I look at it at different angles the screen gets dark, but head on it looks nice just not as bright.

Hard to say without side by side comparison, but the one I received seemed to have a bright true HD display. Of course, make sure you have brightness turned on maximum, which you probably have already done. Good luck.

Bad. The colors are all majorly washed-out -- especially yellow. Pure yellow shows up as more of a canary color rather than a rich golden yellow like it should be. Furthermore, the pixel pitch is huge so it looks like you're looking at the image through a screen door. Avoid, the high refresh rate is not worth it, especially at its price.

I don't see that effect, but you should probably ask someone else. My eyes aren't perfect, and it might be something I don't notice. I can't say that I've ever seen that effect before. I've always had better-quality monitors, and I can say that I love this particular monitor very much. I would certainly buy it again and recommend it.

Have you tried any older systems to see if they look okay/have lag?Anyway, thanks for the info! I may have to go for this, although I'm a bit nervous not being able to return it if there are dead pixels or whatever.

Yeah I dont have any problems with my display, but make sure your camera is decent and adjust to the light so the image looks good. Camera quality makes a difference.

Really wouldn't know how to test for that. There are a lot of color calibration options so i can't imagine you would have a problem. This is really a game-changing monitor, its that large and hi-res.

In general, this is a decent TN panel with very good color, and relatively minimal color shift from different viewing angles. While it will not compete with a good IPS monitor, after calibrating, colors actually look very good. People saying that this monitor looks washed out probably do not have it set up correctly. It is far from washed out, with decent saturation and good contrast when properly adjusted.

I haven't done any tests myself to verify that this monitor is as advertised, so the best I can do is refer you to this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth . It explains the definitions, and you can refer the section "Industry Support" for a couple examples of cards that support this.

My monitor was ready to go out of the box. Dell provided a sheet listing the color calibration the monitor went through prior to shipment. This monitor is for personal use, so it wasn't necessary for me to second-guess the calibration. If this is for professional use, you may wish to double-check it to ensure it meets your needs. This monitor does give off a very noticeable shimmer when working in white background. Some users may find this distracting, but I'm very happy with the monitor and color regardless.

I just saw your post and have had problems matching color with my printer. I checked with some professional labs and seems like the only solution is to get color calibration software for your monitor. I bought Spyder2. It did well in reviews and was relatively easy to use. There are more professional and expensive packages also. The improvement has been dramatic. You simply cannot accurately calibrate your monitor by eye or by Adobe Gamma. Also make sure you're using Adobe RGB (1998) as your color profile in Photoshop.

1. Does this monitor have built-in speakers? No2. Is the colour/picture crisp and clear? Average, not top of the line. Thought I'm using VGA. May be better with improved graphics card.3. Are the buttons easy to push? Yes4. Is this compatible with any Windows 7 hp computer? Do not have an HP. I have a Dell Windows 7 and it runs just fine.
