Hi friends.
I am not an expert in hard, I need help for my next monitor_
ASUS LED MX27AQ
or
Dell UltraSharp U2715H
Thanks in advance
-
They both feature very similar high-quality ah-ips panel with the same color gamut coverage. But that's where similarities end:
Dell is classic mid-class workstation monitor with professional look, great color-calibration software suite to use with X-Rite, best OSD menu on the market, stable height-adjustable base.
Asus is strange hybrid that doesn't really know what it wants to be. It has no height adjustability (big no for workstation), no VESA mount either, it has pointless 3W speakers, crap media features like dynamic contrast,etc..
Positives are aluminium chassis and thin bezel, but is that so important for working ?
Asus has been trying really hard to get into workstation/designer monitors but imho they still get it quite right. (including the rather good AsusArt series)

Hi Juraj,
Firsly congratulations for your really nice works, and thanks for your help here.
I do not need VESA mount, speakers, or silly features. I really need real colors (sometimes I need send to printers.....) and high-quality panels, as you said at the first of your reply.
I think Dell is older than Asus´s monitor, and for this reason I think is the Asus better, but little more I know
-
As a U2515H user I can recommend this series. I love this monitor, and height adjustment saves my life.
-
I don't expect almost any change in visual quality between them, and based on reviews they both have the same issue which is bit more dominant IPS-glow than is usual.
I wouldn't really judge quality based on which one is newer :- ) As even 2715H is rather inferior to its older counterpart 2713H which was much higher quality wide-gamut panel. In fact Dell is confusing in their naming, since 2715H is descendant of cheaper 2713HM.
None of these are high-end monitors and they're not even really cutting it for top of the class for mid-segment but I would still strongly prefer Dell.
-
Thanks Maru,
Juraj, what monitor would you recommend???? instead of these....
-
This might depend on your budget mostly. That Dell is definitely ok.
But I have to say I am rather unhappy with what is available today..
All the "pro-sumer" displays (high-end workstation monitors with normal pricetag <=1k +/- euro, i.e NOT NEC/EIZO) currently suffer from myriad of tiny issues, basically all being rather mediocre. This is due to shifting focus on gaming monitors in this price-class.
-
I understand you....
The budget is around € 450

You can check which you like most for your needs?
I've spend alot of timing browing monitors and bought the iiyama first version 3 years ago, was so happy, sold it to a friend due to buying a worklaptop to be mobile - now I bought the same one, in a newer version cause I couldn't find a better one for my renderstation i'm putting together.
The original one I had was the PROLITE XB2779QS-W1
https://iiyama.com/us_en/products/prolite-xb2779qs-w1/
note that this "outdated" model, end of life as in "they dont make these anymore" had 116%sRGB colors, and 350cd/m² up to 450cd/m²
I miss this screen, should never have sold it. Like Juraj said, they don't make em like they used to.
-
Thanks for your time mate.
I see that the Asus has a good features, maybe better than Dell, I´m not sure.......but Dell has the profiles for PHotoshop and when I need to print is more probability the colors will be the same between monitor and printer, I don´t know if Asus´s model can do it.......

out of the 3 monitors in this list, Dell is the worst in specs + 2nd most expensive - lawl
I did this to show Iiyama is the winning monitor when you compare the specs -
"Dell has the profiles for PHotoshop and when I need to print is more probability the colors will be the same between monitor and printer"
I dont know about that - I use RGB workspace in photoshop with "working CYMK" and colors in fogra39 - send to printer and done - Other then that we use color-calibration hardware like this:
