Does this monitor have color and grayscale accuracy for graphic design work? Will printed images match what is seen on the screen?

I believe that one of the reasons this monitor is lower in price is that it badly needs calibration upon arrival. I spent about an hour and a half calibrating it to match what you are asking. So, the answer is yes, but not without some effort in calibration. Some of the calibration I was able to do with the monitor itself, but the rest I had to do with my video card to compensate. After being calibrated, however, it has performed perfectly.

So sorry I can't answer this for you. I bought this as a gift. It was highly recommended but the folks I bought it for wanted the digital monitors so I returned it. Good luck.

No. As the former response suggests, the image should not look like that (or doesn't with mine). Possibly a function of the display/screen you're using? I'll confess the colors don't look perfect with mine, but nothing as extreme as what you are describing. My wife has noted that the image has a bit of a red tint to it.

Text reproduces as brilliantly as your GPU or CPU/RAM can draw. The monitor itself is bright and adjusts nicely. The only problems I had were with color matching for graphic work - a pinkish/purple hue.

I have this monitor. We use it as a prototype monitor in our rapid designs. It is easy to work with. The colors, responsiveness, and brightness are poor. I won't recommend this as a regular use product. It is great for rapid prototypes.

In essence, yes. You might have to tweak around with color settings until you get some good preset. Ones that come with the monitor suck arse. The monitor itself is used for datasheet viewing and I have no problems with it. It is a very good monitor and I plan on buying another one when my pocket allows it.

I am going to guess you are looking for great color reproduction since you are using a Mac. If that is the case I won't I advise you to buy this monitor because although it is a great monitor and performs really well(price to performance ratio) the color reproduction is not that good and the colors look a bit faded, not as bright or crisp as you would want it to be. Hope this answers your question.

Totally agree. If a person isn't doing monitor calibrations with a colorimeter like the Spyder -- not by eyeball! -- on a reasonable schedule, they can pretty much expect to have color management problems. Folks who are quick-printing snapshots straight out of their point-and-shoots may not be interested in making the effort, but someone who's willing to invest in a nice printer like this, probably ought to be calibrating their monitor. Just my $0.02.

It has a matte screen and I have the color calibration that is made for and what I see is what I get. I'm very happy with this monitor.

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.

Yes and yes. Although it's not as accurate as a calibrated broadcast monitor, there's enough resolution to get the job done. Good luck to you!

You may want to look at the review of this monitor over at tftcentral. They cover all the details.

Yes, I returned Dell S2415H because the text is not black, gray, gives me a headache because I use it reading news, stock quote. I use the multimedia screen on this monitor and doesn't give me a headache. Compared with my Qnix2710 which is 1440p, I prefer this benq for reading and multimedia use. I returned hp 25xi because of flicker, gives me a headache too.

HiThank you for your interest.The difference is pixel policy.Please check the pixel policy of each description.This monitor is Perfect Pixel(0 defective pixel) monitor.Thank you.

The color rendition is accurate for all forms of graphic usage. The better question would be does your Book Cover Design printer acurately reproduce your images.

Colors appear crisp and clear. Screen doesn't look grainy to me. I notice no difference with the screen quality when I compare it to my regular computer.
