   It was a very simple Plug’n Play situation for my Mac Pro (Early 2009). Note that only a VGA cable is included in the box, so I had ordered the Dell 6. 5
   ft DVI-D Male/Male Show Cable (A0497000). The DVI-D cable connects directly to the Mac Pro DVI-D female connector–no adapter required. Power up the monitor and then the Mac Pro, and the auto-sensing does the rest. They mate up in the native 1920 X 1080 resolution at 60 Hertz. No sweat.

   The OSD is very simple to use and the side buttons have a excellent feel. There is even a way to set up two shortcuts for quick access to the OSD options of your choice. The OSD is invoked by four buttons on the lower right side of the screen.

   The only adjustments I’ve made so far is to use the side control buttons to adjust the Brightness down to 51 and Contrast down a small to 71. I also went into the Mac Pro’s System Preferences and changed the Color Profile to “Show Calibrated” from the default “Dell ST2410. ” I did not perform any of the calibration adjustments available under the “Calibrate” menu, just selected the “Show Calibrated” from the left column.

   The monitor only has tilt adjustment, no height adjustment. The center of the screen is about 10″ above your desk surface. Depending on your seating, you may wish to place the monitor on a secure raiser of 2″ to 3″.

   For a TN monitor, it has very sharp text and outstanding graphics. Running a basic “dead pixel” detector, I did not notice any stuck pixels. Dell does state in their warranty they find up to 5 defective pixels acceptable. As with all TN panels, the best picture is obtained viewing straight on. It may not be the best choice for a dual-monitor setup where each monitor is at an angle.
