That's a nice review of a nice looking product. I like the free DisplayPort cable, the set of inputs, especially the USB 3.0, and the measurement notches are certainly a distinctive touch.

But I don't like the placement of all four USB ports on the side, it doesn't look nice for attaching your USB mouse and keyboard and can be even less appealing if you want to buy two or three of these displays - you can only attach your USB devices to the left most display. Dell's layout of their USB inputs has more flexibility; hopefully Dell will refresh their lineup with USB 3.0 soon.

Thanks for the review. It's a display to keep in mind. smile.gif

The U2410 supports the following Wide display modes, Fill, Aspect and 1:1. Does the PA248Q support these?

It does 1:1 pixel mapping. Haven't seen any option for Fill IIRC. I will look into that later.

Thanks. While our GPUs does provide scaling, that really only occurs once the OS has loaded. It's nice to see 1:1 support from the display itself, it just feels more professional. Please forgive me if I'm being silly. blush.gif
