If you live near a BJ's Wholesale Club and have a membership, they're selling these Lenovo Edge 2 hybrid laptops at only $499.99. I picked up a few of these for work and swapped the HDDs for SSDs, and they've been running great...

FYI - If you missed out on the Amazon deal, you can still get this drive for $164.99 from Best Buy: SanDisk - Ultra II 960GB Internal SATA Solid State Drive for Laptops - Black

I think he just got a bad/damaged display. I order two for a dual monitor setup and neither has any of the problems he claims to be experiencing.

In case you missed it, I bought two of these for a dual monitor setup when they were on sale and posted my impressions earlier in the thread: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1041179492&postcount=56. If you have questions that weren't addressed by my post feel free to ask.

The U2415 stretches 16:9 inputs to fit the whole screen. I've already tested this by running a few PC games at 1920x1080 full screen. The monitor stretched the image to fit the screen rather than adding black bars. With that being said, you shouldn't have trouble with movies/TV shows. When I...

I can confirm this is not a problem on the U2415. Nvidia set them to Limited (16-235) by default, but I was able to change to Full (0-255) through the Nvidia Control Panel.

It's not aggressive at all. I haven't noticed any sparkling on whites or grays, which is something I used to notice on my previous monitor.

For what it's worth, both of my U2415's have next to no corner glow, which is consistent with the TFT Central review. I can't say if all panels are this good or if I got lucky, but you could always buy one and return it if yours has severe corner glow.

I haven't tried external sources as I have a dedicated home theater setup for my game consoles, Blu-ray, etc, but I can confirm that the monitor only supports 16:10, 4:3 and 5:4 aspect ratios - there is no support for 16:9. Here's a picture of the OSD: I tried changing my aspect ratio to...

1. There's no noticeable backlight bleed on either of my monitors. 2. The IPS glow is not that noticeable when viewing the monitor straight on, but becomes more noticeable when viewing from the side. However, unless you are looking at a pitch black, or nearly pitch black image (such as movie...

I ordered two of these for a dual monitor setup and they just arrived today. If anyone has questions about the monitor I'd be more than happy to answer them.

For anyone waiting for this to drop below $300, it's currently listed at $279.99 as a limited time offer. EDIT: If you're a student, you can get an additional 10% off ($251.99). I just picked up two for a dual-monitor setup. I'll post my impressions after they arrive.

I haven't been able to find reviews of any kind, not even unboxing videos on YouTube. Dell seems to have launched it quietly - I didn't even know this monitor had launched in the US until I learned about this deal.

Is the ratpadz site (http://www.ratpadz.com/) loading a blank page for anyone else?

They might be a little pricey but the color accuracy, viewing angles, height adjustable stand, horizontal/vertical rotation, and thin bezel (which make them great for dual monitor setups) are worth it. I game, design, code, and do photo and video editing, so a TN panel won't cut it, and I don't...
