Dell U2410 on the Amiga

[Harrison]

The 2713 might not be the same spec though.

But the 27" version is definitely worth it for the extra resolution you get... 2560x1440 compared to 1920x1200.

I actually purchased the U2410, used, on eBay, as I had read it was 100% compatible with the Amiga (I read somewhere the U2412M does not display all 15KHz resolutions), and am now slightly disappointed to witness this behaviour on PIP

I also have a Dell 2001FP and every time it starts, on full screen VGA, the behaviour is similar - screen moved to the left. But in that case, as it's full screen, I can adjust it properly (although it becomes painful doing it on every reboot)

Unfortunately I think you are just going to have to put up with it. The monitors specification doesn't actually say it will support the Amiga modes, and you usually have to take pot luck with these things anyway. Personally, I'm grateful that it works as well as it does.

Are there many other monitors around these days which will work with the Amiga's 15kHz modes?

Are you adjusting the monitor on each reboot, or adjusting the Amiga on each reboot?

Severall Dell models do: ST2320L, ST2420L, SR2320L, U2412M. The U2410 has several features that make them appealing to Amiga users (PIP, 16:10, etc), hence my choice

For each Amiga reboot (or cold boot), I have to adjust the monitor.

This doesn't happen on composite though, but the image quality of composite is inferior to the RGB-VGA.

[Stephen Coates]

That sounds a bit strange. Do you have any other Amigas that you could try, to see if it happen on any others?

My monitor seems to remember the settings fine for my A1200.

Most of the monitors on the Atari forum list do t officially support 15khz but they do.

@Kin. It's something Dell have not mentioned in their official docs on most of their monitors that do support lower ranges. It's not mentioned for my u2711 either, but the fact the monitor can sync down to 15kHz via VGA input is true. Plus other inputs such a composite. They also have component inputs capable of 1080p (I run a PS2 and original Xbox using this). Plus lots of other inputs including 2x DVI, HDMI and Display port.

They are very nice monitors, and because they are designed mainly for the design and photography industry they come factory colour calibrated and support AdobeRGB and SRGB colour spaces. Very nice to work with in photoshop and when editing video.

Only downfall that I know would put you off would be the 60Hz refresh rate at the native 2560x1440 on my u2711. But for most of us we really don't notice the difference above this. I used to notice it on CRT a lot and hated running monitors lower than 85Hz because I was sat in front of one all day, but that's due to CRT refresh flicker, which is absent from lcd and led panels. You have to remember though that these monitors are not aimed directly at the gaming market where you will find the only 120Hz+ capable monitors. It's not needed for the design industry.

I reckon its not included in the specs because its probably not intended to be used at 15kHz. Its probably just a by product of the monitor also having TV inputs.

[Harrison]

Agreed. Although because the monitor can accept legacy tv inputs it does mean it intentionally supports 15kHz. Although I think most people are surprised the VGA port does as most other monitors don't.

I want to buy a new Dell monitor, as my sight started to worsen since 2 years, I want to get a 27" monitor. I'm just between the Dell S2715H and the Dell U2715H.

Ultrasharp or not? The S model is almost half the price, 239€ compared to 467€. Does anyone have experience with those?

The S is a 1080p model whereas the U has a resolution of 2560x1440. Plus the S model is a glossy, and some people are reporting that it is almost like having a mirror, and they don't like it, the U is matte.
