Been looking around for a good IPS display for a couple of months now. Interested in what more makes the TB win for "just about everything else"?Would love a pic for comparison!
Pics? Don't know how...just kidding. Might get around to it, but really, none required. White uniformity/yellow tint is not news with Dell, or many other mid to lower tier displays. Their forums have numerous threads mentioning it on a variety of models, including the U series. Of course, Dell often says it is normal and/or within their limits. I've also seen responses that say, if you wanted a better monitor, you should have bought a professional one.
The advantages of high pixel density are patently obvious, but other than that, and of course, connectivity, the build quality, color uniformity, compatibility, and on and on are leaps and bounds better on the Apple TB display. That isn't surprising given the cost, QC, and attention to the details by each company. Given that your display is where all of your computer work is done, and comes to fruition, SJ put enormous emphasis on the display, and it shows up, pun intended. And when it comes to support, it's like you're on opposite sides of the Earth, which in this case, you literally probably are.
That isn't to say the P24 and 2715Q aren't good, they are...for the money. However, they aren't in the same league with Apple. I can easily work around the occasional sleep lockup, but having the screen lean towards yellow/warm and a little darker from left to right is not something you can fix. One guy suggested futzing with various controls until the offending area was white. Yeah right, at the expense of the 2/3 to 3/4 of the screen that looks OK. Not a solution.
It isn't fresh glue that has yet to cure, as was the case with some iPhones a while back, so it isn't going away. My only options are an RMA, and risk getting one as bad or worse, or a refund and start all over with double or triple the price and get an NEC or Eizo, or do my color work on the TB display or right side of the Dell if 1:1 isn't needed. Haven't decided, but the more I glance at the P2415Q, the more I see the discrepancy.
