Dell U2713H

Hi all.
I wonder if any one can help me. I have a MacBook pro, Dell U2713H (SRGB) and a Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.
I Have just signed up for Photoshop CC.
My question is should I set Photoshop colour settings to Abode RGB or SRGB.
Many thanks
MIck

The native color space of your monitor is unrelated to the color space in your file, as long as you're in a fully color managed environment such as Photoshop, and as long as you have a monitor profile that describes the monitor as it is (preferably made by a calibrator).
The whole point of color management is that the file is converted (transformed), on the fly as it is displayed, from the document profile to the monitor profile, and thus it will display correctly whatever the monitor's characteristics.
Without color management, however, no such conversion occurs and the file needs to be in a color space that closely matches the monitor (which in most cases means sRGB). This is determined by the application - some are color managed, others not. For web, files should always be sRGB because most people use non-color managed web browsers.
In Photoshop having an Adobe RGB file displayed on an "sRGB" (or standard gamut) monitor is no problem. Of course, the monitor can only reproduce sRGB, so some colors in the file may be out of monitor gamut and you can't see them. They're clipped to sRGB, so what you see is the nearest sRGB color.
Printers may have a larger gamut than sRGB, so it may still be useful to work in Adobe RGB, even if you can't see all colors on screen. A larger working space also means more editing headroom without the risk of irreversible clipping.
As for screen vs printer, it's important to understand that the two have their own separate color management chains. There's no direct relation between them. For screen it's document profile > monitor profile, for print it's document profile > printer/paper/ink profile. If both profiles are accurate, they should match.
To get a match from screen to print it's also important to have the monitor set to the appropriate brightness, temperature and contrast range. This is what's known as the all-important calibration targets. Most monitors out of the box are way too bright, inevitably resulting in too dark prints. But this is a large and separate subject.

  • MacBook Pro Retina 15 using DELL U2713H Issue

    Hi, I just bought a DELL U2713H display. When I connect it to my Macbook Pro Retina 15 using 2560 * 1440 resolution, it displays like 1920 * 1080. Not clear extually, it is fuzzy. And when I scroll in Mac mail, it blinks.
    Here are what I got:
    1. I am using a mini display port to display port cable (from the monitor), to connect to the monitor. Mini-display port plug to laptop, display port plug to monitor.
    2. I set the U2713H display to 2560 * 1440 already.
    3. I set the monitor to enable display port 1.2 (If I disable it, it also not works).
    What I have tested:
    1. I bought an U2713HM before at home, it works fine with same setting on my macbook pro. Only the cable was bought from ebay (Also mini-display port to display port cable).
    2. I test the new U2713H on my windows laptops, it also works fine with same cable (from monitor).
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance!
    Bene

    you are used a cheap cable from ebay...try this one it works!

  • Dell U2713H Startup under Snow Leopard

    Under Snow Leopard, 10.6.8, my new Dell U2713H doesn't come on when I Start Up my Mac Pro. I have to turn it off from energy saving mode, and back on. I also miss the spinning starting up window completely. Wonder what I would do if I needed to see a verbose startup.
    It displays a message saying I need to correct the 2560x1440 @ 60Hz selection. I believe it selects the proper high resolution and frequency ... but to have to turn the monitor off / on isn't right.
    I'm using the Dual DVI-D connector supplied by Dell with my Mac Pro ATI Radeon HD 2600, which has 2 dual DVI ports.
    It works under 10.9.1 Mavericks ... and I also get full 2560 x 1440 @ 60Hz.
    I tried the EDID Force RGB override many people correct color while using mini Display port connectors ... but no change.  (Reference: http://embdev.net/topic/284710#3027030)
    Can I use something from OS X 10.9 in my 10.6.8 installation that would correct this issue?
    Thanks

    I've tried resetting PRAM and rebuilding after a Safe Boot, to no avail.

  • Daisy chain Dell u2713h

    I have two Dell u2713h monitors on my desk at work.
    I also have a Macbook Pro10,1 (early 2013) with a grand total of two TB ports
    I need to use one of the two TB ports for a TB-to-ethernet adapter because there are well in excess of 30 wireless access points visible to my computer from my desk which means using our company's wifi is a no-go, I'm literally getting disconnected 1-2 times per minute.
    So, I can only use one of my TB ports for my two monitors. Both monitors are DP 1.2 compatible and have 1.2 support activated.
    I'm running OS X 10.9.4
    As far as I know it should be possible to daisy chain the monitors (I am, of course, running my MBP in clamshell mode with external mouse and keyboard) but when I connect them as follows:
    MBP mini-DP out -> Monitor #1 DP in -> Monitor #1 DP out -> Monitor #2 mini-DP in
    I just get mirroring.
    So, what am I doing wrong? This should work, right?

    I cannot get my out of the box one new Dell monitor, model u2415 to work with my MacBook Pro (MBP). I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011). I have no other external monitor.
    After working with Dell Tech Support, they tell me it is "Plug-n-Play" and incompatible with Apple. However, I find on YouTube and here, people using this new Dell monitor.
    I told Dell, I cannot get any Menu or what have you, to come up on the Dell. Only the "Inputs" selection. I think that's where the problem is.
    Frankly, after two nights and four hours or so (also with Apple). I'm about to give up.
    Am I missing something? Ideas???

  • I have just purchased the latest macbook pro 13 retina (late 2013). I want to connect to a Dell U2713H Monitor. As the  new macbook doesn't have a cd slot, I am unable to install the monitor drivers etc. Where can I download the drivers?

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I'm not sure how to connect to the monitor as the only ports available on this model mac are Thunderbolt. The mini display to display cable supplied doesn't seem to work out of the TB port. Do I need to use a Thunderbolt cable + an adaptor?

  • Optimal settings on Dell U2713H to come close to mbpR-15 factory settings?

    All,
    I recently bought a Dell U2713H for use with my mbpR-15, and seems like all is fine, but some minor elements missing (colors slightly off..a bit too bright etc.)
    I am trying to get the Dell to display as close to the mbpR-15 factory setting as possible. I do understand the Retina is much superior, so mirroring is impossible, but still wondering what settings other people using Dell U2713H with their mbpR-15 have used.
    THIS THREAD IS NOT MEANT TO COMPARE ACD/ATD with DELL, but simply to share the Dell U2713H settings that work best with mbpR-15.
    So far, what I have done is:
    1) Used the miniDP-to-DP cable that came with Dell - works great
    2) Copied the Display override file on my mbpR-15 as per: http://embdev.net/topic/284710
    3) On the Dell Monitor, I went to Menu->Color Settings->Gamma and set value to MAC (default is PC)
    4) Then used the Color Temperature preset mode with value set to 6500K
    Above settings work well..except the whites are more bright than rich/deep.
    Would appreciate if users shared their tweaks!
    Thanks in advance!

    Your best bet is to make an appointment at any Apple store...genius bar appointments are free. They can tell you if your phone has suffered a hardware failure or your problem is software. If hardware, and I suspect it is, no amount of restoring will fix the issue.

  • Which video out (HDMI or Thunderbolt) will give me the best experience connecting to a Dell U2713H?

    And also, which cable would you recommend?
    (Dell U2713H uses DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort for Video in and has 2560x1440 resolution.)
    I would like to achieve the best possible connection.
    Thanks,
    Johan
    ps. I use a macbookpro with retinadisplay mid 2012.

    Thanks.
    Are you aware of difficulties that seem to be rife when connecting for example Dell monitors to mbp?
    Typically people often say that they don't get maximum resolution. What can I do to avoid that, or is it a problem of the past? I don't want to buy an Apple display as I want to be able to turn the screen vertically.
    Any suggestions? Thanks again.

  • Daisy chain two display port monitors (Dell U2913WM) to new Mac mini Thunderbolt?

    Everything I read said that I could hook up a display port monitor to a Thunderbolt port on the mac mini.  I purchased two display port monitors (Dell U2913WM) that can be daisy chained, and hooked them up.  All I get is mirroring.  Does anyone know how to turn off mirroring with this setup?  I did not get the "uncheck mirroring" option in preferences until I hooked up the second via the HDMI port instead of a daisy chain.  The problem with that is, I cannot take advantage of the full resolution through the HDMI.  It seems I have wasted my money on two monitors.
    Looking for advice on:
    1) How to daisy chain these two Dell monitors to the mac mini and turn off mirroring and use an extended desktop, or
    2) How to take advantage of the full resolution through HDMI port?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    So re-reading this thread, I now realize you did exactly what I wanted to do but your issue was having a cloned vs. extended desktop. Oops!
    I believe your "nothing plugged in" issue is the cable. I'm not sure that TB cables are backwards compatible with DP - I think it's only the ports. Do you see multiple monitors in "System Preferences > Displays" if you hook the monitors up like you described in your OP?
    My Dell U2713H arrived today and it works like a charm with the supplied Mini-DP to DP cable. The built-in display on my 13" mid 2009 MBP still works if not in clamshell mode, although I will mostly use mine in my HengeDock. In the OSD of the monitor, you can access "Display Settings > Display Info" and it will show you the DP capability. Mine is only DP 1.1a and I believe to run 2 of these at full resolution you will need the bandwidth in DP 1.2 which includes MST (daisy-chaining). This could be your problem.
    Can you access the same menu in your OSD and report back what your DP compatability is?
    Thanks!

  • Color Temperature changes when playing video via Dell 2713H with iMac

    Hi people,
    I'm having major issues with the above. This happens specifically when video is played, be it via youtube or through VLC or even XBMC.The color temperature of the video just shifts to a cooler blue and then after a while goes back to normal. This does not happen on the monitor of the iMac itself. Otherwise, viewing still photos or browsing the web works okay. It is really very irritating as you don't expect this to be happening.
    I've read that this could be an issue affecting macbooks with the ability to switch between integrated and dedicated video cards, but i can't seem to find any thing suggesting a fix for iMacs. Just so you guys know, it occurs on my macbook pro as well too.
    I'm running mountain lion 10.8.2 on the iMac and connecting the dell u2713h via an displayport to mini displayport cable supplied by Dell. iMac is a late 2009 model.
    If anyone could offer any insights, i'll really appreciate it.
    Thanks
    J

    I found this in another thread and it fixed the same problem for me. Apparently it's a Dell "feature" it detects video and changes the color settings for you... ? On the monitor just disable Display Settings>Smart Video Enhance.

  • Daisy chain Display Port (U2713H)

    Hi Forum,
    I have a rmbp 15 and 2 Dell U2713H screens that I usually connect to my macbook using both TB/DP ports.
    Now I need to connect another TB device and looked into using the Daisy Chain option on the screens. Although I get image, it seems to be cloned and MacOS doesn't seem to know that the second screen is there.
    My question is, how can I enable Daisy Chain on MacOS?
    According to the specifications this should Work.

    In theory this should work. Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tiago

    I am the OP.
    Please see what I found on another thread that answered my question.
    I just finished researching this for myself, as I was considering adding to my MacBook Pro (2012) a pair of new Dell U2713H 27" monitors that support DisplayPort-based daisy-chaining.
    It looks like Thunderbolt-enabled Macs only support DisplayPort 1.1a which will not allow the kind of MST that you are looking for nor will it enable me to use multiple monitors as I desired. New Thunderbolt chips supporting DisplayPort 1.2 with MST are supposed to be available this year, and so would possibly make it into late-2013 or 2014 Macs.
    It seems the only present ways to connect more than one external monitor to a MacBook are:
    a) using a USB video adapter
      b) purchasing two Apple Thunderbolt Displays
    If someone releases a Thunderbolt docking station with multiple monitor outputs there might be hope, otherwise I think this won't ever be possible with current model MacBooks.

  • Daisy-chaining Dell MST and non-MST display

    Hi,
    I wanted to connect two screens to my MBP:
    1 DELL U2713H (daisy chainable)
    1 DELL U2713HM
    so I connected the U2713H to my MBP via miniDP and daisychained the U2713HM via DP on the U2713H. I activated DP 1.2 on the U2713H. The whole system started flickering on Win 7 and then crashed Windows so bad that I had to reboot a couple of times before everything worked with only the U2713H connected.
    I also tried it on MacOS and here both screens showed a halfway ok picture, but the same one, i.e. MacOS did not recognize the U2713HM only the U2713H
    If I understand the specs correctly, everything should work properly. Any idea why it does not work?

    Hi, thanks for the answer.
    Does that apply to MacOS only or also to Win 7?

  • Fix for blurry text on Dell 30" U3014 connected by DisplayPort to Mac Pro (late 2013) AMD D700

    Just connected my new Mac Pro (late 2013) to my Dell 30" U3014 with DisplayPort cables, only to find blurry text and bad gamma etc.
    Whilst the earlier post/discussion Mac Pro (8 core with the D700 GPU's) (Dell U2713H) was somewhat illumative, I thought a simple list of links for this specific configuration might help someone.

    Hi Grant,
    Thanks for taking the time to think about my issue and respond. But I don't see where your response is relevant.
    I want to connect two monitors, each via Mini-Display Port, and only one will work at a time. I am not using DVI cables at all. In this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6068, it clearly states that I can connect three monitors via Thunderbolt (mini-display port) as long as they're on different busses. I was doing that, and it didn't work.
    What display configurations can I use with my Mac Pro (Late 2013)?
    You can connect up to six displays to your Mac Pro (Late 2013) running Windows 8 via Boot Camp. Check the list below to be sure you're setting up your displays in a supported configuration via the HDMI and Thunderbolt ports.
    You can connect:
    Six Apple LED Cinema Displays (27-inch) or third-party displays via Thunderbolt. For best results, attach displays to different Thunderbolt busses when possible (see figure below).
    Three Apple Thunderbolt Displays (27-inch). Connect only one per Thunderbolt bus (see figure below). Note: You could connect three more LED Cinema Displays (27-inch) or third-party displays, one per Thunderbolt bus, for a total of six displays.
    Two Apple Thunderbolt Displays (on Thunderbolt bus 1 and 2) and one 4K Ultra HD TV using HDMI.
    Two 4K displays (on Thunderbolt buses 1 and 2) and one 4K Ultra HD TV on HDMI).

  • Is an Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter the same thing as an old Mini-DP to DVI adapter?

    Is an Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter the same thing as an old Mini-DP to DVI adapter?
    Will a different adaptor give me better resolution between my old computer and a new monitor?
    Computer: MBP 15-inch Mid 2010
    Monitor: Dell U2713H
    Current cable: 20276 3dv ft1 DVI Digital Dual Link with a Apple Mini-DP to DVI adapter to get it to plug into my MBP.
    Possible solution?: Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter instead of my old adapter above?

    Yes. A single-link DVI connection can't drive that monitor at its maximum resolution.

    You probably need to press the buttons usually located in the bottom right corner of the screen to tell the screen to use the Displayport socket and not the DVI socket. It sounds like it is currently set to use the DVI socket which of course is not connected to your computer. As a result of not finding a computer attached to the DVI socket it then decides there is no point staying turned on and instead goes in to energy saver mode waiting for something to appear on the DVI socket.

  • Daisy Chain DP 1.2 Monitor

    I am looking to purchase a Dell Ultrasharp U2913WM 29" Ultra-Wide Monitor and I noticed that it has Display Port 1.2 capabilities through a displayport out and therefore has the ability to daisy chain multiple displays over displayport.
    I was wondering if the Thunderbolt connector would allow me to take advantage of the Dell Ultrasharp U2913WM dasiy chain capablities considering it is compatable with Display Port.

    Thanks, I have already ordered the Caldigit Thunderbolt station, but this DOES NOT solve the dp1.2 issue at all.  In summary, I can hook up both my Dell U2713H monitors today and will also be able to do it via the Caldigit Thunderbolt station, HOWEVER but both require using two ports, MDP for maximum resolution versus HDMI.   I would like to use dp 1.2, which is supported by Intel on TB2, to eliminate using both my TB ports.    However, for some reason TB2 on Apple products are preventing utilization of dp 1.2,
