Although the maximum brightness for the G2460PQU is specified at 350 cd (candela)/m², the display actually performs even better. With a testing result of 423 cd/m², the maximum brightness is extremely high. For comparison: the average similar TN-display only reaches 300 cd/m².

The monitor's overall picture quality doesn't degrade much if you view the panel at an angle. This is especially important for those who, for example, plan to mount the monitor on a wall.
Pro Works good in a well-lit room
When situated in a bright room, regarding picture quality the Dell U2718Q performs on par with the best monitors in its price bracket. It delivers beautiful images that have lifelike colors and deep blacks. Colors look fantastic thanks to the monitor's IPS panel that can sustain the reasonably high level of brightness - up to 300 nits, without losing the details.
Cons
Con Needs proper calibration for best results
In terms of color, the G2460PQU is able to achieve a little under 96% of the sRGB standard, but there are some hue errors in magenta and cyan which prohibits the screen from reaching 100% of the sRGB color gamut. Calibration is needed to eliminate these errors as much as possible - but still remain visible after calibration.
Con Slight over-saturation of blue
The blue and magneta colors are slightly over-satured, even after calibration.
Con Bad viewing angles
Color shifting occurs when viewing the display at around the 60° mark horizontally, and color shifting (the distortion of colors) is even more noticeable when viewed at vertical angles.
Con Poor HDR performance
This monitor can't deliver the proper playback of the HDR content because its peak brightness and color gamut don't correspond to the HDR requirements. The U2728Q covers only around 75% of the DCI-P3 which means that it can reproduce only 3/4 of the total colors used in the HDR content.
