if you're from sarawak, you can always order from niclasteoh

premium panel = better panel meaning the color is richer and more accurate with a lot of customization options available.

dont go for the S-series. it is extremely glossy up to the point of being an annoyance.

thanks for your info~ guess i will just get the u series since not much different in term of price yet better panel

what kind of calibration are we talking about?

They are said to be calibrated by hardware so I presume using a colorimeter .

Oh... I didn't know he provide such service, is it the same as ordering from Dell? Or does he order and you need to pick up at his shop?

Look what came in the mail today...

Took the plunge for widescreen gaming and bought the dell u2913wm..
All i can tell you now is that the screen is simply beautiful

hey andyz..

Hi guys,

Anyone knows when Dell plans to refresh their monitor lineup for 2013 ?

Why is wverybody talking about dell only?

haha..dell the best..
i have samsung monitor..but to cmpare..i think dell is better!

Dell has online ordering, so the price is pretty much standardized. I'm from S'wak so that's a major point, since most pc shops here don't have a good selection.

Wow that's very wide.

But I'm more interested with your CPU. Can you pm me the specs?

becoz dell has the best warranty service in malaysia with excellent price/performance ratio monitors.

in terms of availability, dell would be the best choice for us in malaysia and together with the good after sales support surely would be the fav brand in this forum haha. Also the IPS panel for dell is good so far for me no complains

last 2 movie kena crop out top and bottom?

for premium panel info,read here: http://www.dell.com/Learn/us/en/19/campaig...c=us&l=en&s=dhs


wrong, the complete word phase is "premium panel gurantee", part of marketing words.
it got nothing to do with better or worse panel. see above link

glossy screen is nothing wrong provided u have controlled light source, matte screen is all rounder for work horse but u lose some color which is crucial in multimedia playback
so instead of stopping ppl buy gloss screen, why not ask for ppl usage first?

Nah, glossy screen popping out better color is a urban myth.

It all comes down to the screen panel's contrast, range of gamut, etc.

If glossy = better color as what you have claimed, every professional monitor like HP dreamcolor or NEC or Dell Ultrasharp would have used glossy panel. Heck, even the legendary Apple cinema 30" (which is far superior than any current monitor apple has) used matte screen.

When i said 'premium panel', i meant the panels are already pre-calibrated according to factory setting which is better than the glossy S series. In fact, Ultrasharp series is one of the most 'flexible' monitors around (meaning it is compatible with most hardware screen calibrators)

And what Dell meant by premium panel = part of the superb warranty service, which is miles ahead than its competitors.

maybe u misunderstood my post.

PS: Ive tried both U series and S series monitors before, and currently im using U2713HM.
