Hi,
I can share with you my experience of the U2410 and U2413, since I gained quiet a bit of this in the past 4 months.
I bought 2 Dell U2410, but since there was something wrong with them (mainly not accurately calibrated and refurbished, but sold as new…shame on you Dell!),
they were replace after 3 months. And since dell Israel did not have the U2410 anymore, they delivered the U2413.
So, I have a hands on direct experience with both models, using FCP 7, FCP X, DaVinci and AE:
First of all, the Dell U2410 cannot! be calibrated properly since there is an issue with the green in the custom mode.
So, forget about the calibration of that one.
I liked the design of the 2410 better than the 2413 – more hooky and old school.
In the corners, the U2413 has a bit more light bleeding, but in a dark room, it’s really ok. The 2413 also has USB3 ports instead of USB2 and can be calibrated. It also gets less hot than its predecessor.
There was a huge issue of green ghosting artifacts due to insane overdrive settings with the Dell U2413, which made it unbearable for video editing.
Dell always denied the problem, but still fixed it in silence. So, you HAVE TO be very cautious: Only accept the Dell U2413 Revision 02 or higher. Revision 00 and 01 has this problem and makes it absolutely worthless for film editing.
I have the U2413s now for a week and I am quiet happy with them. Very accurate colors.
I do not know about the NEC though, but I hope, I could help a little.
All the Best,
