actually there's not many LCD panel maker there. Most manufacturer use panel from other company, put a frame and logo, then add some software feature and finally sells it.

Samsung uses their own panel, but I heard people said that it is mixed, meaning some Samsung monitor uses samsung own panel, some use other people's panel.

I'm getting a monitor this coming April 2010 Pc fair also. Actually, the best thing is to follow ur heart, read the review as if you're using the monitor not someone who pretend to have super good eyes or expert, and make sure you're happy after buying it and don't read review anymore after you got ur monitor.



as far as i know, it's better if you use HDMI for high definition. Usually there is no difference between HDMI and DVI, it's just that DVI is a no-audio version of HDMI. Not so sure for laptop connection though

i will be getting dell st2410 with the belkin DVI and HDMI cable. just notice that ST2410 doesnt come with DVI cables have to buy it for RM98 which include HDMI and DVI cable.

anyways, thanks so much for the input guys

received my st2410 few weeks ago, pretty impressive to me for the price.

for those who purchased stuffs from Dell before, try to call the SA and ask for special price. i got mine for RM619.. not sure is it applicable for everyone since i purchased quite a lot items from them.

u mean Rm619 is the price for 'regular customers'? i never purchase anything from dell before, and the current online price i see is rm679.

seriously? what did you actually said? if really can nego the price then i might just ask for the DVI and HDMI cable for free instead of getting an discount

DVI cable is only RM8 (bought it from a shop in Subang Parade).

Saw HDMI cable price is RM20 & RM40 for DVI - HDMI in Sri Computer.

yes it should be around there. dell offer, belkin HDMI at RM89 and bundle DVI & HDMI at RM98. so i assume DVI is RM9


hmm... yes i know if it from shops like lyp it should be cheaper but im staying in klang and im always busy with work. so it wont be convenient for me to go all the way up for cables. lol

anyway, why is DVI cable more expensive than HDMI? typo perhaps?

Actually no need to travel all the way to LYP.Go to the pc shop near you,you should get a cheaper price for the hdmi cable.

in klang if you want to find cap ayam HDMI you need to hunt for it. or maybe i just dont know where to get it. but if you get those "branded" one from local shops like SenQ it would be around the same price as dell. probably around RM60-70 cheapest.

The other was shorter that's why less expensive..

I need to ask something, i went to low yat today to check up some monitors again but i can't find any Dell resellers who have the Dell ST2410 up for display and i really need to know which has better image quality for final decision

1) Samsung 23'' P2370H
2) Samsung 23'' B2330H
3) Dell ST2410

I understand this thing are personal and differs individually but when i compared to P2370H to B2330H i found that P2370H seems clear and has a nicer color tone but was almost indistinguishable but need to know how it will differ to Dell ST2410. Maybe someone with similar opinion could help out or owners of ST2410 got something to share?

u want cables.....just go to tesco....there should be some cheap dvi or hdmi cables there which is more than enough....


@ScarLight
dell monitors are almost exclusively from dell.....some shops do carry dell monitors...but very limited models and stock.

ive never seen the 2 samsungs u mentioned...but if i were to go on blind faith....id go with dell for 2 reasons... 1) extra 1inch and 2) known good after sales support and warranty service.

Thanks dude good answer. I saw the samsung model in All IT. But how did owners of ST2410 made their decision without a preview ironically its kinda blind faith as well

I currently using tis rig:
Q9400 | 4GB RAM | 500GB + 160GB HHD | 500GB WD EXT. HHD | HIS HD 4850 512MB 256bit | monster HDMI | DMI Monster Cable M1000HD 8feet M-SERIES, Ultimate high speed HDMI cable >15.8Gbps |

so any 20-21' or 22' wide screen full HD monitor with HDMI recommend me to use?
thank you

that would be me. i just purchase a dell ST2410 just now. hopefully will arrive by the coming week. anyway, i bought their previous model also 24". cannot quite remember the model but the image quality is good.

btw, iinm both of the samsung model you mention is using TN panel which is the same as dell. so the different wouldnt be much

@ham_revilo

hi! thinking about getting the st2410 as well. but i heard it doesnt have speakers so can i plug in my earphones to the monitor?

@x3me, it has audio output so that u can plug in earphones.. but u must use HDMI to connect desktop
