Could anyone else with this monitor confirm that the sub-pixels are arranged in BGR layout? I just bought to use with my Mac and the fonts are nasty.

Just received mine today. It is RGB, however it has two dead pixels. I will try to get it exchanged.

Make sure that your video card supports the ultra wide resolution, I returned this monitor because my late 2012 macbook pro didnt seem to be able to handle the max resolution well so everything seemed a bit skewed.

It's very good. Image and color is spot on w the latter adjustable. I noticed some very nice deals recently for lesser but comparable monitors but I don't know if they utilize an ILS panel..just sayin.BTW, I edit mostly in LR5 and I'm not a pro.

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.

I know this is matte, but it was not answered here. The problem with matte finish is they make the text fuzzy or blurry which is the reason I hate matte. So can somebody please tell me how is the text on this monitor. My U2412M which my son uses mostly in games, gives me a headache when I uses it to read news, stock rating, reviews like this.

I just returned my HP Envy 27-inch monitor to Amazon. I too have a 2012 MacBook Pro (13") and attempted to hook it up to the monitor via HDMI (adapted from thunderbolt? - not the mini video port of old). The picture was horrible, fonts were unreadable. A 90-minute call to HP support revealed that they have no driver support for Mac and all the fiddling with the settings on the Mac did not solve the problem. Oddly, I have my MacBook Pro hooked up to an older HP 23" monitor via HDMI and it works like a charm. Not sure what the difference is between the two monitors, but there it is.

The main issue is that your Mac has DVI-D port or proper DVI-Dual link gender.By the Nvidia specification, GTX285 support 2560*1660 Resolution.http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-285/specificationsMac OS X is little bit different from Windows OS.So I suggest you find more information before buying this kind of bypass monitor.Otherwise, I just want to suggest Multi port monitor. (RGB, DVI-D, HDMI and DP port)Cheers!

No, actually it looks good. That is the resolution I'm using and I like it a lot. I would buy this monitor again.

Head over to www.TFTcentral.co.uk, they have an area where they post ICC profiles and optimal settings gathered either from reviews they have done or from user submissions. The settings they offer are from hardware calibration. Although every screen is different (even within the same model!), the settings they have should get you close to accurate as far as calibration standards go. Here is the link with the settings database, the vs248h-p is there: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm Personally I am pretty happy with this monitor in sRGB mode. The only problem is that the default gamma is about 1.8 from my testing, so I lowered the gamma correction in my Nvidia Control Panel to 0.85 and got it closer to gamma 2.2. Looks much better...colors are no longer washed out. You can try that, or try the settings on tftcentral...although be aware that those are hardware calibrated to sRGB standards, and you may not prefer the way it looks.

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.

Personally, I think it's gorgeous. Crystal clear for sure. No JPEG-type compression shading issues, very accurate color. I do professional photography and the color response of this monitor is good enough to use for my printing. Very accurate, great color range. Better than my MacBook Pro built-in display.

Yes, and it worked out fine for displaying images and else. But not the brightness adjustment and auto-rotate though. That's Mac's compativity issue, not the monitor's.

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.

pretty good - set it to 640x480 and 'high quality' in &lt;monitor settings&gt; for best quality

I had trouble getting it to look right. Extremely bad bleed through around the edges. Google "benq XL2420T settings". Good luck! I spent $100 less and got 3 acer IPS monitors and am loving it

Sorry, I no longer have this monitor. I upgraded to the HP LA2405wg. But I never encountered any problems the brief time I had it.

I am inclined to think something is wrong. Mine has a nice picture. I did no adjustments on my monitor. I kept the factory setting because the picture was great.
