What reviewers say

TFTCentral and PC Monitors praised the U2713H's wide colour gamut, accurate sRGB and Adobe RGB presets and cleaner coating than the U2711. Both found it a strong monitor for colour work but observed some overdrive artefacts in games; TFTCentral found uneven brightness on its sample and little benefit from the uniformity compensation setting.
