Dell U2515H - a 25" 1440p monitor?

[snowComet]

A user @HardForum called Lava Lamp Freak found a new Dell display on the Energy Star Certification website. It is called U2515H.
 
As the model name implied, it is a 25" display. But what's interesting is according to the certification website, it is a 25" 2560x1440 display, and the panel technology is labelled as "TN LCD".
 
If the information on the website is true, this would be the first Dell UltraSharp series display to have a TN panel. (Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this.) Since Dell's UltraSharp series display is famous for color accuracy and consistency, I believe this monitor will be factory calibrated as well, just like the other UltraSharp series displays. But still TN panel for a UltraSharp series monitor? (Maybe the information on the Energy Star website is wrong?)

Interestingly Lava Lamp Freak did a little research, and claimed the panel is actually a AH-IPS panel from LG called LM250WQ. (which I believe makes more sense.) He also claimed the monitor will feature a thin bezel design, like the U2414H and U2415. According to his post on HardForum, this monitor will be release in late 2014.

*update: I searched through the Energy Star Certification Website, and it seems they did wrongly labelled some AH-IPS monitors as having TN panels, like the U3014 and U2414H, so I believe they may have mislabeled the U2515H as having a TN panel as well.

I would of thought that 1440p is better with 27 inch monitors? 

[alby800]

hmmmm, seems interesting

[alby800]

I don't see why a smaller monitor can't be 1440p

[AlwaysFSX]

If this is true then I wouldn't mind getting one. I don't like large monitors but this is only 2" bigger than what I currently use and has a higher pixel density and resolution. I would love one!

Just because it's common does not mean it's better.

[Epitome]

It's nice to other companies trying this other than BenQ atm.

[kwljunky]

It can be, you would see a difference, but would it be astounding, and worth the money over 1080p? In the size we are talking about. 

[Guest]

Hopefully they give Korean monitors a run for their money.

[That Norwegian Guy]

Awesome, more 1440p (but hopefully soon 1600p) monitors under 27" is always better. 25" might even be ideal for 16:9, as 24" 16:9 feels jarring for me coming from 24" 16:10.

"would have"*

[Biased Opinion]

The benq is still the one I am more interested in because it is the same form factor as my current displays but with more pixels.

[EChondo]

I really want a 3+1 setup, so I'm waiting for a really good set of monitors to pop-up so I can snag three of them and use my primary display as my +1.

 

Three 1920x1080, three 2560x1440, or three 4k monitors would all be amazing, if they can get this around $300-$400, then I wouldn't mind picking up three of them, especially if it's that thin bezel.

 

Sorry guys, but Dell has some pretty sweet panels and aesthetic designs.

[ComradeHX]

So what's so special about it?

Low lag and higher pixel density?

I agree. I would love to see dell make an IPS 27-28" 4K display with a thin bezel. I would drool all over that display.

Oh God now that would be something to see. Personally I would want a 23-25" monitor if I'm doing a 3+1 setup, since I don't really have that much desk space, but a IPS 27" 4k monitor would be beyond tempting, especially if prices come around to $500-$600.

man i was hyped for a second, then saw tn and it went down hill fast from there.

 Read carefully, there's reason to believe that's just an error and it is AH-IPS...

It is indeed an IPS panel.  The owner's manual is up on the Dell site.

Definitely picking up 3 of these for surround.

damn thats steep... better to go for the korean...

[jerhms]

I have a Surface Pro 3, it has a 2K screen (1440p). It looks great, mainly because the pixel density and the 13' size.

[The Crazed Child]

I would have preferred 24", we need this to become standard.

 

I'm looking at getting the BenQ BL2420PT but I would rather TN with a higher refresh rate.
