How good is the monitor in portrait view? My 2 TN panels make my eyes sore when I tried to put them into portrait view, hence why I'm looking at IPS.

portrait view is fine, but you get to be used to it cos it really looks strange for you at the beginning.

Screen resolution inportrait is excellent. We only use the 2 we have in portrait and have never had a problem.

I use it primarily in portrait view as my second monitor to look at full web pages, email, and spreadsheets. I am working at it most of the day, and have not had any sort of eye fatigue. It has a matt finish which cuts the glare. Almost a bit to much matte finish might be my only critique. It takes a bit of sharpness out of the small text I am reading, but that is a pretty picky point. Generally I am totally stoked about it. Still several months after I got it, I still have not taken for granted how much more productive it is to have one monitor in landscape and a great freaking big one in portrait view.

Hello Wanda, I do not currently have a picture to provide you of the side view. I will make sure to get a picture to you right away. It does look like the monitors sag a bit from the images that we've provided. I think that's just because we've pulled the monitors forward to try to show what they look like all pulled together and forward. I will make sure to let you know once we've put up a new image of the side view. Thank you, Taylor W. VIVO

I have mounted 2 of these now as well. However, the one I purchased most recently had the power and HDMI inputs in such a place that they were blocked by the particular mount I was using. The one I purchased a few years ago had the inputs pointing downward which made them accessible using the same mount. Great monitors, but wanted to clarify.

In my opinion, yes. I simply reached, while sitting in my Lazyboy, (with my feet up, I might add), to easily twist my monitor into a vertical/portrait position. It's a decent size monitor too. ( 28 inches )

Yes. I use one of my monitors portrait for wen pages and the other screen landscape for games. If you try to do it with your hands you might loosen it too much. I recommend the tool that comes with it, just pop the cover off the side and tighten or loosen it.

As you may have noticed, in most older panels/laptops (which probably don't have IPS), there is massive color distortion at relatively small viewing angles. This monitor is exactly the same as the U2713HM, except that it also has IPS (in-plane switching), which produces, among other effects, much better color fidelity at off-center viewing angles. In other words, I can look at my monitor from .5 degrees away from parallel to the screen, and still have no noticeable color distortion.

Great, I'll go for the 2159M and am still gonna check them out in person since I need another monitor for my brother anyway. Thanks for the post Thomas! It helps alot~~

I don't see that effect, but you should probably ask someone else. My eyes aren't perfect, and it might be something I don't notice. I can't say that I've ever seen that effect before. I've always had better-quality monitors, and I can say that I love this particular monitor very much. I would certainly buy it again and recommend it.

TN panel, as its the only technology that can gives you he 1 ms response time. Wait till the summer of 2015. This monitor is not worth the $ for now. I'm thrilled to see the AMOLED monitor. The unbeatable screen technology !

Hey Donald, I just replied to you on another one of these discussions and will do likewise on this one. Regarding the viewing angle, do any other 8 series owners think it... well... sucks? If I move so much as 5 degrees one way or another, the colors (particularly the blacks) start to fade. Wondering if this is one of the concessions for the 8 series' slim profile.

I am OK with it. The only thing that surprised me when I looked at it from an angle about 45 degrees (approximately) was the change of colors (slight). But mostly I work with this monitor looking straight at it, so there is not much to say about it. Hope this helps.

It actually has an AHVA screen which is similar to IPS (very wide angles, no color shift at extreme angles). I use IPS screens exclusively on my desktops, but I don't feel this is any worse for normal usage (I don't use it for graphics work so I don't know how accurate the color is).

If you meant IPS display, then, no, this is not an IPS display and looking from significantly sideways of the screen would show darkening. I don't like the non-IPS display but it is not a huge problem for me. I often use this in the stand mode which brings the screen closer to the face and so the non IPS not an issue for me.

Both responders don't even know what the question is. The monitor is definitely TN, made obvious by the low response time (3ms) and comparatively poor viewing angles (picture quality and brightness drop dramatically when viewed around 45 degrees or sharper angles), and when the dead pixels are white instead of black. http://www.tnpanel.com/tn-vs-ips-va/

Replace the DisplayPort cable, it sucks.Buy another, much thicker one,one that's rated for 2160 x 3840 pixels, 60 Hz, IPS, DisplayPort 1.2 . Seriously.With a bad/poor cable, like the one that comeswith the $700 Dell UltraSharp UP2414Q,you might be forced into 29 Hz, low-res mode...and/or the cable will just plain break, causing garbage to appear on the screen.It's worse if you swing it portrait, and/or move it around a lot.The original cable had bent pins and the like... really bad.Why did Dell give me such a -crappy- cable ? ?Dell's cable is half the thickness of the $9 one I boughtto replace it ( same day shipping, from/to Seattle, Amazon ).

Sorry to say when I pixel is bad, it is bad forever. I am OCD so when I receive a monitor with a bad pixel I will send it back for exchange or else I will keep looking at the area of the bad pixel which makes me crazy!!!
