I just hooked them up using Display Port cables and they cam right up at the maximum resolution of 2560 x 1440.ġ. When I received the monitors I was told that they are 'plug and play' and did not require any special drivers. I have seen that setting before on my previous system, XP Pro, and am wondering if I have missed something in my setup process. One thing that has me puzzled is that when I display the Windows settings using the 'Screen Resolution' the monitor is set to 'True Color'. The one thing that I have noticed is that there seems to be no observable, at least to me, of the material displayed when I switch between the sRGB and Adobe RGB presets. I am pleased with the way my photos display in LR and CS5. Also my display screen background picture, a 100% quality JPG photo taken with my Canon 5D II does seem OK to me. The colors displayed seem a little different but not 'garish' as I was led to believe. My Epson 3880 printer is capable of displaying wide gamut. When I was doing the research I was advised that although LR 3 and CS5 were color aware and using ProPhoto as their working space I would be disapointed in the way colors would be displayed for applications such as IE 8 and MS Office.

But I don't seem to need to switch back and forth. My original plan was to use the Adobe RGB preset only when doing photo editing and use sRGB when using IE 8 and other non-color aware applications. In fact one of the reasons for choosing the U2711 was the choices of presets. I currently have both monitors set to the Adobe RGB preset. These monitors have a number of presets that include sRGB and Adobe RGB. I have a Datacolor DC S3SSR100 Spyder 3 Studio SR which I plan to use as soon as I fully understand my use of these new monitors. Dell used a Minolta Color Analyzer CA210. I purchased 2 and the test reports list different serial numbers. My Dell monitors arrived with a color calibration factory report apparently tied to the individual monitor serial number.
