What reviewers say

TFTCentral and AnandTech praised the U2713HM's sharp QHD image, good colour after calibration and flexible stand. AnandTech found exceptionally good out-of-box colour but slower response for games; TFTCentral noted a lighter screen coating than the U2711, while later observing a buzz on its sample with some text-heavy screens.
