Hi all, as per title, which monitor is better in terms of:
1. color accuracy
2. build quality
3. price

I'm using this mainly for photography so color accuracy is very important to me.

Dell S2715H

LG 29UM68

i'm using the Dell 27 one.
So far i am quite satisfied with the color accuracy. But that is me, to others it might be subjective.

Had it since last year already.

Dell S series colour accuracy & visual wise is very strong.
I remember a retail sales person telling me its made of clear glass panel or something.
I did get the 23" , pretty good.. Very very thin bezel..

Only cons: Random flickering from time to time.

I have mixed experience with both Dell and LG monitors.

My 27inch Dell monitor is displaying one "almost" dead pixel in the middle after 2-3 years usage.

My dad's LG monitor has entirely failed after 3 years of usage (can no longer switch it on) and its warranty has expired as well.

urgh. i was looking at the LG one too but just not sure if a UW at 1080 would be sufficient..

btw, if you're looking for a more serious alternative VP2468.

i'm pretty sure if you want the best color accuracy on dell, you should be looking up at their Ultrasharp series.

i'm using the LG 29UM57 (which is pretty much the same except mine doesn't have the speakers and freesync support). based on specsheet, it says it has 99% sRGB and they do come with factory calibrated result sheet

on my daily usage experience, i so so so love the ultrawide panel. it just gives so much more for productivity. i've used the well respected dell u2312hm and i've gotta say, i love this LG much more.

i use lightroom to edit my photos and with the extra screen resolution, i could really use the before and after comparison function without limiting my viewing area. not that it's not the size of the screen that matters, it's the resolution.

the only gripe i have with this monitor is that the screen can't rotate, tilt or raised/lowered. so i had to put something to lift the screen up to my eye level. if you have a monitor arm/stand, you could use that too.

P.S : sorry if my answer isn't well structured

d00d. u just sold me on the UW. i guess all thats left is to test it at a store (if possible).

oh shoot. forgot to mention that while the extra 940px over the normal 1920px of FHD monitors, a dual FHD monitor setups still trumps over a single UW monitor (cause 1920+1920 vs 1920+940). the only downside of this setup is the annoying bezel in the middle. so it's up to you which you see is a much better option (of course, the dual monitor setup can cost more if you go with a more expensive monitor like the Ultrasharp series)

oh yeah, more personal experience : if it comes to after sales service, dell is pretty legendary around here. last time my U2312HM broke, called up RMA and the replacement came in the next day lol. can't say the same about LG though. someone needs to chime in for that

yea i dont have much space for another monitor on the desk and i dont think my GPU can push another FHD monitor well. and yea. that bezel down the middle.

aftersales service eh.. never had the need to call up for one. none of my monitors have ever died in less than 10 years.. *crosses fingers*

well better hope so la. my monitor comes with 5 years of warranty iinm. but how well they handle the RMA process, who knows

actually ViewSonic VP2468 is a quite nice monitor. for color accurate and auto-rotate.
100%SRGB color daisy chain function some more.

hahaha i already bought the dell for almost a month then only i saw the replies in this thread.
anyway the dell is a very good monitor, so far so good

i having dilema too with this two model.. if you unsure ,..you can always go to amazon for this two product and read the review there too..
Please please more review of this two please..i consider the dell s2715h 1st..but then i saw this LG 29UM68-P

Of course LG 29UM68. Ultrawide, 21:9, 2560 x 1080 resolution!
