The fix seems to be easy enough though for the few times it happened. I think it's only happened when messing around changing from calibration to pre-built and other modes a lot, not quite sure what triggers it. Hopefully it will work.ДЇor TV/movies/videos my CPU/GPU seem to be powerful enough to drive even blu-ray to upscaled UHD so in that regard there is probably no scaling issue, at least not for me.ДЄ few times each half of the screen started rendering at a fraction of a second delay making for bad tearing being the two sides, simply powering off and then on again seems to always fix it. A bit fearful there won't be a way to get the GPU to scale 1920x1080 games by 2x.

This might be the only major downside for those not gaming. I might be stuck with just a single backligt choice for wide gamut mode and sRGB mode :(.

If not, I really hope there is a way they could update the software to be able to write calibration to a file and then load it into the screen and that it is not hardware locked and only able to be written directly into the screen during calibration. OK, I get by reasonably well with just two brightness levels for each but that still needs six and I guess I could forget the sRGB with sRGB TRC and just stick to firefox always for web image viewing, fine enough, but that still leaves me needing four slots and there are only two. I like to calibrate to native gamut and three different backlight settings and the same for sRGB with sRGB TRC and the same for sRGB with gamma 2.2 which would need nine slots. I have a horrible feeling that if you need more than 2 you might need to constantly do the entire calibration process again and it takes a LONG time even for the matrix based calibration for some reason. One possibly terrible thing is that is gives only two calibration slots and, at first glance at least, it seems like there isn't a way to save a calibration and then instantly load it to swap from this to that to that as you can with the NEC PA. I like the new AG coating better for sure.

The AG coating doesn't have the sparkle effect and isn't quite so ponderous as on the older IPS AG-coated monitors like the NEC PA241W. In sRGB emulation the NEC PA is simply perfect with the ultra-linear calibration and 14 bit 3D LUT, the Dell isn't bad but it's not like you get the 100% flat saturation tracking curves and such of the PA, not too bad though and about what a decentish regular gamut monitor without a fancy 3D LUT would give you and probably a bit better overall than a regular gamut monitor with no internal LUT at all I'd say as those usually have a fair amount of noticeable banding after calibration due to having to calibrate within the 8 bits themselves. I'm not sure if the color-engine is quite as linear and precise, but it seems to be fairly close in native gamut mode for each monitor. Text is much, much more like real printed text in look.Д¬olors seem to be pretty rich and in the same ballpark as my old NEC PA241W in that regard. People shots, wow, sometimes it feels like you are right there in the room with them. Fine feather detail in birds, little details in rocky surfaces and lichen covered rocks and so on.

At full UHD you can finally make out all the little ferns details enough that the image finally works out OK on screen. It also helps quite a lot for this one shot I have of a giant cliff boulder hillside covered in tiny ferns. It's quite nice for nature photography since when you have tons of trees you can better make out all the little leaves and bark textures and twigs and such and they don't all blob together as much and even distant wooded panoramas manage to maintain some true leaf and branch detail now so they look more like photos or you are there than a digital blobbing. Everything seems a bit more film-like/slide-like somehow, a bit less digital looking, smoother, more natural, like a giant magnified slide table or something almost. Wow, the resolution (3840x2160) does make photos look different compared to old 1920x1200 monitors.
