This allows manufacturers to quote some high numbers like 12000000:1 Also the method of testing this number is not standardised, so each manufacturer can come up with his own number... Just ignore this figure, completely So coming to the DELL monitor... What's inside of the DELL Box... Monitor.. Stand column.. Stand Base... VGA Cable (No HDMI).. One CD with the user manual.. Power Adapter... I was content with the packaging contents, although a HDMI cable would have been better instead of VGA cable, though VGA is more than sufficient if you plan on connecting only your PC/Laptop Build Quality... Build is good.. The locking mechanism of the monitor and stand is outstanding.... Other reviewers complained that the monitor and stand are not sturdy.... It does appear so, when you shake the monitor rigorously...(But who does that ??)..Once you set it on a table, its as sturdy as any other monitor The highlight of the monitor is its dark and thin bezel(frame) , it gives a fantastic effect that you are viewing the picture in a frameless manner.. Functioning... I had a laptop, and i just got the monitor working, by just connecting the VGA cable, and did not face any driver issues at all(windows 7). After i connected, i found myself struggling to adgust the color and saturation settings in windows 7 and the hardware monitor controls...But once i finished it the picture from the IPS panel sprung to life... At such a high resolution of 1080p , the text is small and hard to read..i fixed this problem by changing the windows text size to medium from samll... I did have a spare hdmi cable, which i connected to the monitor, i did face some scaling issues which i had to correct in my graphic card settings(catalyst control centre) I did run certain monitor tests, and found that the monitor represents more than 80% of the rgb color gamut, which is more than we need, and is amazing to see such quality at this price point... Also the brightness in this monitor is very high, i can never use more than 60% brightness and contrast without burning my eyes.. When the room is dark, i have to further turn down the brightness to around 20% for comfortable viewing... Bad Stuff.... Monitor is quite glossy.. the bad thing is that, i have to turn the monitor away from my windows, and the tubelight to the interference... The interference is manageable, when you do your normal desktop activity, and watch movies which have bright colors, but is not ok when the movies have dark scenes(blacks) in them... Thats it... Have a great viewing ahead....
