Your Dell was no doubt an IPS panel (I don’t think they do TN panels), whereas the Samsung is a TN panel so that would make up a for quite a bit of the difference.

Samsung U28D590DS/XY 28" UHD<http://www.netplus.com.au/newsletter.asp?action=productlink&date=12.06.2014&code=MNSAU28D590DS> This is stonkering progress ... my precious DELL two years ago was ~$770 and had a 2560x1440 resolution which stunned me at the time, and I still enjoy it. Now for the same price we're up to 3840x2160, but only an inch extra on the diagonal. I guess in about a year I'll upgrade. Progress in this area is really amazing. From my childhood I remember a scene in the book The Andromeda Strain where Michael Crichton describes the most sophisticated screen imaginable at the time for medical investigators who have enough funding to try and save humanity. I vaguely recall a description of thousands of optical fibres all converging into the back of a screen to produce an image of unimaginable clarity. (look it up for yourself, as I last read it in 1972). However, the movie was pretty good for it's day. Greg K ________________________________ This email is intended for the named recipient only.
