This is still a 2560x1440 WQHD panel but despite AH-IPS panels being an option on Apple’s new MacBook line, Dell’s implementation doesn’t boast a pixel per inch ratio of match the ‘Retina Display’. To help with this separation, Dell has designed the U2713 to be a vastly different product Unlike the older U2711 which uses a 10bit (8bit + A-FRC configuration) P-IPS panel, the U2713 is the first Dell monitor to use LG’s newest 8bit Advanced High Performance IPS (or AH-IPS) technology, though the “Advanced” doesn’t mean higher resolution. On paper the U2713 is expected to appeal to the discerning home users while the older U2711 is still geared towards a professional-oriented customer base. The Ultrasharp U2713 and U2711 are designed to meet the needs of slightly different consumers and each comes equipped with a different set of strengths and weaknesses. The end result is quite interesting since anyone in the market for a high performance 27” monitor now has two choices from Dell, neither of which steps on its sibling’s toes.

Rather the U2713 is meant to coexist alongside the U2711. Instead of replacing the existing U2711 model, Dell has actually moved away from a typical release / replace schedule where the newest model is introduced and its direct descendant is discontinued. Unlike most companies, Dell has taken this staggered approach one step further and have removed some of the planned obsolesce that is so prevalent in today’s throwaway society.

With the release of the U2713HM the wait for a new UltraSharp 27” monitor is over.

So, it was only a matter of time before Dell turned their attention the larger U27 series and cascaded a new branding upwards into higher end price points. Not all that long ago the U24 series received a facelift and the resulting U2412 was quite a good all-round performer. This means their smaller 24” models are typically updated before the larger more expensive models.

Now, I am enjoying full resolution on my 27″Dell screen :).Like many companies firmly entrenched in the high end monitor marketplace, Dell has always opted for a staggered refresh schedule for their various product lines.
#DELL U2713HM RESOLUTION RESETS UPDATE#
I gave him the information and he told me that he will report it so the engineering team can prepare an update for Mavericks.įor the time being, you have the tip here, hope this can solve your problem the same way it did for me. I explained him what I just did and he was surprised of the solution. Just when OS X was restarting, Daniel (the Apple supporter) came back to me. I’ve noticed it took a couple more seconds than what a normal reboot would take. Note: In my case, I got a bad start first, and then the computer started correctly so everything was ok. Then restarted and the display will work as it should have the first time, full 2560×1440 no problems! Then copy the folder to the following path: /System/Library/Displays/Overrides. I just download the file, and uncompress it.

Fortunately, from this link (I also made a mirror here just in case) I could download a ZIP file which contains the correct EDID for these Dell monitors. It seems the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) in Mavericks was not right for my new monitor (I also read this solves the problem for other Dell Models U2711 & U2713H). While he put me on hold (he was asking somebody else), I found the solution online. So I did, but unfortunately Daniel, the support representative was as lost as me. I realized my laptop was almost new, and I could call Apple support. I started reading online and found a lot of suggestions, unplug, restart, reset SMC and more. I was getting a strange resolution, and then I was able to get full HD again, the most, but not the full juice.

Today the cable arrived so I plugged the new screen to my Mac, and surprise! It didn’t work either. You need a Mini Displayport to Displayport to get the full possible resolution, I purchased the cable but didn’t arrive yet.

I connected it with an HDMI cable to my Retina MacBook Pro 15″ (late 2013). At first it didn’t work as expected, and I was getting “only” full HD resolution, I knew this was a possibility because I was not using the correct cable. Yesterday I purchased a Dell U2713HM a 27″ display that gives me up to 2560×1440 resolution.
