Dell U2410 vs Alienware M17x R2 RGB LED 1200p

[StamatisX]

Both monitors where calibrated with the same Spyder 3 Pro calibrator

The Dell monitor with sRGB profile selected, at 100% brightness, 50% contrast

Dell with Adobe RGB profile selected, 75% Brightness

Dell monitor with Adobe RGB profile, 30% Brightness

I will stick with the 30% brightness since its not straining my eyes and the colors are very similar between the two screens.

UPDATE

Final settings are here

-note-

Unfortunately I have borrowed my camera to someone else and I had to take pictures with my cellphone which sucks big time... the colors are completely different than those on the pics... anyways it's better than nothing.

First chance I will have, I will upload better quality pics.

Nice Stam that's a great comparison. So I guess the Spyder calibrator meets your approval. Do you see same thing I see on my RGB... the R2 maintains accurate color... the other monitor to me is missing a little color in areas like by the sun in that shot.

[StamatisX]

I am currently recalibrating with adobe RGB and 75% brightness (the previous was sRGB and 100% and it was too much) so hopefully I will get better colors, plus the cellphone couldn't handle the brightness of the Dell monitor...

so u got the spyder stam ?

[CptXabaras]

Just a question,

Once the screen has been calibrated with spyder, have you tried to run some game and see how it behave?

I'm asking this becouse unless i leave the color control under AMD drivers, i get some flickering on games.

Same here set some Video color settings didn't lokk like i thought it should.. slight flickering too.

[StamatisX]

Not in my case, no flickering at all, the only flickering I get is when I overclock the GPUs and have an external monitor attached, other than that no problem.

[DR650SE]

IN your opinion, which do you perfer, the M17x monitor or the Dell? I'm also looking to get an external soon and this looks like it may be a decet choice.

[StamatisX]

I prefer the Dell monitor, it is brighter, better viewing angles, bigger size and for $485 after taxes and shipping it is really hard to beat.

[mw86]

Yup 42inch LG lcd 1080P and it still doesn't compare to the rgb 1200p its so vibrant.

[StamatisX]

ok, I recalibrated both the laptop and the Dell monitor, the laptop achieved 245.52 cd/m^2 with dE=0.32 and the U2410 251.42 cd/m^2 with dE=0.02 (I created a custom profile)

The RGB LED is simply amazing (even though a bit reddish) and has nothing to be afraid of next to the U2410

[mw86]

Great shots a very formidable screen the RGB is.

[StamatisX]

Let's see how good the screen of the M18x is going to be...

[Brian]

M18x's screen was built by Chuck Norris so the M17x-R2 RGB LED has no chance.

[mw86]

If M17XR3 = WLED and M18X = WLED which one will be better? How bout R2 RGB vs R3 WLED

[robbob4]

Was the difference worth the investment in to the calibrator?

[StamatisX]

Yeah, big difference
