You have to remove your finger from the touch button for it to work when you press it again. I have Dell touch buttons, and it is really easy to make them look terrible.

Have you tried to unpack a Dell Uxxx?

 

I did, and I can only agree with the guy: it's a pain to get out of the box, the protecting cardboard get's stuck on the outer box and refuses to let go. It's not him sucking, that's a legit problem with the product.

I second this ^. Just ended up ripping the box when opening my dad's new Dell monitor lol.

You have to lay the box on it's side, hold it, AND THEN PULL THE BOX(ES) INSIDE OUT?

WTF THIS WAS NOT INCLUDED IN INSTRUCTIONS, TOO DIFFICULT, THIS MONITOR SUCKS

putting in headphones for this one.

 

edit:

 

Turned it off after "Full featured - it even has touch buttons." and heard his complaints with the box while trying to use his knees on a flat surface to hold it down.

 

He's seen too many unboxings - tryhardz

I only watched up to the part that said it wasn't as good as a three times the price monitor.  Well duh NSS.

Wasn't bad at all, he was missing a bit of information but it was still a relatively concise expression of his opinion.

I've seen Linus do much worse. I've done much worse.

He's comparing it to a $1000 Apple monitor and calling it bad because the colors aren't quite the same. Saying it's a bad review because of that doesn't make us babies tbh.

I see a lot of people giving critique about this "review", but for me, it doesn't really pass as a review. About the only thing he gets right is the physical overview.

 

  1. He didn't explore the monitor settings.
  2. He didn't mention that it comes with a factory calibrated sRGB profile, which makes me doubt that he knew that.
  3. His only comparison is to a monitor that is far more expensive and, obviously, very different.
  4. He gave off the impression that the opened it, put it next to his other monitor and concluded that it didn't look the same.

Disclaimer: I use the monitor he "reviewed" as my main monitor.

I own and use, sorted from newest to oldest: SteelSeries 6Gv2. Microsoft SideWinder X4. Mionix Naos 7000. Zowie EC1 Evo. Microsoft SideWinder X8. Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0. Dell U2414H. Samsung P2270H. AKG K273 Pro. Sennheiser HD555. Razer Goliathus Speed Medium. Func 1030 L. Qpad CT Medium.

I used to own: Razer DeathAdder 3G. Razer Krait. IntelliMouse Optical 1.1. SteelSeries QcK.

"Its not even like the apple monitor, like not even close"

I think i will take this shitty review with a grain of salt, because he pulls it out of the box and compares it to a precalibrated monitor.

 

He did so much wrong in this review, I can't even go into detail, so here's a quick list.

  1. Compares pixel density on a small 1080p panel to a large 1080p panel, and say's "I can see the pixels! they're so much bigger!"
  2. Says "uhm" far, far too much
  3. Compares color accuracy on a precalibrated panel, to a noncalibrated panel. If you were that concerned about color reproduction, then first thing you'd do is correct color hue and saturation.
  4. Does not specify which "apple monitor" or which "imac" he's comparing to. If they're 4k or even 1440p panels, then that test is literally completely useless.

 

 

^^^^^

This, when he started talking about "colour accuracy" without a hint of actually calibrating (all monitors, even macs, need periodic calibration of some sort) I wanted to slap him for misinformation at the very minimum of their sins.

2 Dell Ultrasharps here, a year between them, both calibrated when first bought and had a only minor shift needed to get right (brightness to be specific, colour was spot on).

A year on, they need a little more, a tweak of the brightness, slight shift for any present hue of colour. 

Give it another year will be a slightly bigger gap. Its wear and tear.

 

Its not my fault I am grumpy, you try having a porcelain todger that's always hard!
