Dell monitors

[danielhowk]

i just saw a new released model by Dell UP2516D
i was deciding between U2515H and U2415 . which is better for gaming ? i know you mentioned H aspect ratio of 16:9 could be better for gaming .  but U2415 : 1920x1200/6ms/IPS
and U2515H : 2560x1600/8ms/ AH-IPS
which would be better one have higher resolution but higher response time and AH ips.
and should i be waiting for UP2516D ?
thanks

 

and another question i heard people saying some VA panels are better . for gaming and internet browsing should i stick with IPS or VA ?

[don_svetlio]

IPS - if it's not IPS i'm not interested. For some reason moving from a TN panel to a slower IPS panel has done wonders for my eye strain and fatigue I use to get with TN. IPS or bust.

They're both AH-IPS.

 

The U2515H and U2415 are basically the same monitor, the only difference is the size and aspect ratio, so whatever you preference is. Response time is meaningless, as explained in the FAQ at the top of this section.

 

The UP2516D will be a high end wide-gamut monitor for graphics professionals, not for gaming, and it will be way more expensive than the other two.

 

VA monitors are also fine.

To start, the U2515H is 2560x1440, not 2560x1600. They use the same panel type, AH-IPS (Advanced High Performance IPS) which is a revision of the standard IPS. 16:9 is pretty standard for games, but 16:10 may not have support in some games. 

 

The stand and housing are pretty much identical between them. Both have a normal and fast mode for the panel (6ms at fast, 8ms at normal), but it really doesn't matter due to how response times are measured (they're inaccurate and not standardised) [more info can be found here] 

 

The Dell UP2516D is going to be very expensive and is designed for production work with high colour accuracy, not gaming.

That would be for the U2414H and U2415. Both 1080p, with the latter being 16:10. The U2515H is 1440p 16:9

Well, the resolution is different too...

 

U2415 vs U2515H:

 

Size (24" vs 25"), Aspect ratio (16:9 vs 16:10) and resolution (1920x1200 vs 2560x1440)

If the aspect ratios are different, the resolution must be different The resolution classes are different too but I use size as a general term here anyway...

Yes, true. But going by that, the only difference between a U2415 and a (theoretical) 4K U2515H 16:9 is the size and aspect ratio, despite the jump in pixels. 

 

I guess I've gotten into a mindset of making sure size and resolution are completely separate, or people get confused.

which aspect ratio is better ?16:9 or 16:10. 

and is (1920x1200 vs 2560x1440) which is better ?

all for gaming which should i take ? the ratio and resolution . sorry im new to this

Aspect ratio comparison is just apple to orange comparison. In the end, it boils down which is more comfortable for you.

The difference between 16:9 and 16:10 is that 16:10 has extra vertical pixels. And that's it. Is it better? Depends. For watching films in full screen, 16:10 will give you small black bars on top and bottom of the screen. Does it matter to you? Only you can answer that.

 

1920x1200 is a 16:10 aspect ratio

2560x1440 is a 16:9 ratio

 

The latter has 60% more pixels. 

Great for productivity, maybe not so much for gaming in native resolution unless you have powerful GPU to work on that 60% extra pixels.

 

Most game is designed for 16:9 resolution, though 16:10 is about as widely suported as 16:9.

u mean the 2560 x 1440 right ? the 60% more pixels ? im using gtx 970 that should be fine right ?

your option for me will be U2515H : 2560x1600/8ms/ AH-IPS right ?

will the 8 ms response time be bad in gaming ? i heard average 5ms is decent. anything more could be bad should i be worried ?

someone also recommended me Eizo Foris FG2421 is that better ?

Depends on the game,

I'm fine cranking 60fps with max setting on Tomb Raider 2013 on my 3440x1440 Ultra Wide; but I probably not gonna able to push 60 fps if I were to play Witcher 3.

 

I don't see how 8ms Grey-to-Grey response time would be bad for gaming. It's just the measurement how fast the monitor flipping from one shade of grey to another.

What you'd be interested for gaming is probably the input lag, which, according to TFT central, U2515H is a decent performer.

 

As for Eizo FG2421, look at the link I gave above, it has that monitor when comparing the U2515H.

i see the input lag for the monitor is indeed tier 1. but why do people always saying response time shouldnt be more than 5ms for gaming

anyways what do you think about asus mg279q and mx239h

The 5ms response time thing is a myth, people say it because they heard other people say it.

Dell P2416D or Dell U2515H is better ? both seems to have the same specs but cheaper ? is there a trick ? should i just stick with u2515H ?

[VZX]

U2515H has bigger viewable size, and hence thinner Bezel and slightly bigger pixel pitch.

It also has audio output.

The display panel is the same quality, the U2515H just has a better feature set, with additional inputs and DisplayPort daisy-chaining, as well as thinner borders.

even if the both the same panel P2416D is newer will the input lag be generally lower ? new technology ?

No it should be about the same (almost none).
