Question: Is the screen glossy or satin
Document: My work is done best when I can see data from several applications at once. Three of these is not too much screen space!
When it arrived it had a number of defective areas on the screen. It wasn't serious enough to make me return it outright, but over time they make me more and more irritated. Anyways, good monitor, but make sure you are happy with the quality out of the box.
I wanted a monitor with more screen square inches, but also with as much resolution as I could get. I wanted to be able to do several things:1) View things at high resolution.
The USB hub on the side is SO convenient too, no more digging under the desk to plug something in.ONLY Con (and it is not the monitor's fault) is that there isn't a whole lot of support for the resolution this monitor is capable of. Websites are a thin strip down the middle of the screen, some items are small, buttons in photoshop for instance are about 1/8&#34; square.
I upgraded to two radeon 6950 graphics cards with crossfire, and they do a good job of filling this monitor with beautiful images. You too will need some very good graphics cards (or one amazing graphics card) to render a 3D video game on such a high resolution screen. On the other hand, you could just keep the resolution at a lower setting. (Yeah, right :)
I would really love to have a Dell 30" monitor that has that pixel density... that would be 5610x3506 pixels! I fully expect that Dell WILL have a high-density-pixel display eventually. And it will be very expensive.I would also like it if this was a touch screen, or better still able to work horizontally as a tablet and sensitive to a fine-point stylus.
PBP (Picture By Picture) allows you to watch TV (HDMI1, HDMI2, or Component) in an window to the left of the current input; I would find it more useful if I could watch a second computer screen there, or a portion of two screens at full res better still. There are some assignable shortcuts that I want to learn how to use (and will update when I do).Now we get to my only complaint in the monitor.
Touch it, and the on-screen display for the five buttons above the power shows up. : Menu, Input Source, Brightness/Contrast, and Preset Modes.The Preset Modes offers several modes, though so far I have mainly used Standard. As a digital photograher, Adobe mode is of interest, as is sRGB. Game, Movie, and Multimedia sound useful, Warm and Cool a bit less so, but it's nice to know they are there.
In short, the 1-2 inch gap that has to exist for a dual (or more) monitor set up is very distracting for entertainment, and I know from experience that some programs don't work well with it. Screen sharing doesn't work well at all, for example. This is to say nothing about how one would efficiently connect multiple monitors up to graphics cards without some nasty gotchas like games not recognising multiple screens. At work I don't care much about frames per second, but at home I do.
While pricey, this device serves both as my television from eight feet away, and my desktop workstation from two feet away. Crystal clear, no dead pixels, well worth the investment -- although the price is quite steep.
Answer: Not glossy.
