Use your EYES

Dream on I would say

First, it's not all about the year of product, but it is the panel that matters. I just bought Dell's ST2410 with TN panel and I would say my 5 years old Dell's E1905FP MVA panel display actually better than the ST2410. Personal opinion only of course.

Please do let us know if you could find any 24" IPS panel which actually cheaper than the U2410

There is another cheaper IPS from Dell, but that is 22" and not 24"

I did not do any review on the ST series (unless you mention other sites), I only put up my personal comment since I'm having both 24" IPS and TN panel. It would be absurd to compare between 2 items with different class. The IPS I'm using cost RM3K+ retail and only can be ordered by business customer while on the other hand, the TN just RM679 and for any end consumer.

Value wise, definitely ST2410 the winner, nuff said. It provides almost all that you need for moderate to high satisfaction level (depending on how you set for yourself). Look at our maDmaN, he's happy with his dual ST2410s despite the white thingy stucking in the middle

Just I have not try on the U2410 myself, but I suppose it almost the same with my LP2475w

Yes, DVI / HDMI = Digital while VGA = Analogue. Despite the facts that VGA technology might have improved all these while, but DVI still provides the least fraction of signal loss. Go all the way to the LCD's native resolution on DVI or HDMI, you couldn't be wrong

The latter part... well... GOOGLE!

The comparison I mentioned earlier was between my E1905FP (19" MVA Panel from Dell) and not the IPS. The most significant for me is vertical viewing angle, I sit down while my LCD at higher level, the colours and brightness immediately become dull, that doesn't apply to my IPS and MVA

Go watch DVD on your normal TV, that's even nicer on it. Again, Google is your answer or unless you may not want it that way. I been watching 1080p movies on my screen with 5.1 surround

I just bought one for PS3 purpose in my small rented room. Value for it, but word of advise you should be exactly "horizontal" along with your monitor. Don't in a situation where you sit lower but the monitor placed at higher elevation. You'll get "dark" screen by then and almost 50% out for GoW3 clarity

Well, Dell's U2410 has it, isn't?

Well, I have not actually really use the monitor yet. Just borrowed my gf for a week to let her play PS3 at her place.

Now I have it back but yet to set it up nor tune it. I'm actually wanted to ask for recommended settings too

Again, TN really can't put a match against IPS. When budget is not a main concern or the price of IPS is affordable, definitely recommend anyone to go get one for satisfaction especially those people that have sensitive eyes for colours and video/image clarity

What is wrong with your monitor?

Oic, then better claim while you can so you'll get your replacement just when about your warranty period ends

I'm not sure if you can actually bring it to the Samsung showroom at Low Yat Plaza to claim the warranty. Better else let someone experienced with Samsung's RMA explains here or call Samsung straight away

Should I regret that I bought my ST2410 2 weeks ago now that Dell offered 23" IPS at RM880?

It's not about the size that I fuss about, it's the panel type. I have an IPS and the colours indeed much richer than the TN, plus TN has extremely poor vertical viewing angle

If I'm not mistaken, Dell accept purchase-return within 30 days and you only need to pay for the transportation fees (people come to your doorstep and collect). Just that

However, the LCD lack of HDMI port, thou there is HDMI to DVI converter

Forget the return strategy... Dell reviewed their return policy up to 14 days only
