Well actually I'm kidding. That's what the issue SHOULD be all about - so it'll get fixed.
But that won't because Dell keeps ignoring it.
Instead the real issue is backlight bleed. The input lag is unlikely to change - and will prevent me from getting this monitor (up from my 3007) because of such a distinct DOWNGRADE.
The issue is that this sometimes $2000 display can't display any SD signals without squishing or stretching them (to 3:2 aspect).
The firmware and OSD lack 4:3 and 16:9 scaling operations, and by default Dell monitors treat any NTSC/480i/480p signal as a 3:2 aspect image on 1:1 (and aspect too, obviously).
"I am looking for a 12- or 13-inch ultraportable that can also play modern games at a reasonable level, for less than $1,000. I know the brainiacs out there can help me out. Love the site, thanks!"
