talking about dell ST2410, how is the performance? i was thinking of getting the monitor with the extra belkin HDMI cable which is RM98. do you guys think its worth it? by using HMDI, does it improve the quality significantly?

QUOTE(StereophileDream @ Mar 27 2010, 09:52 AM) Wow,you can get the belkin HDMI if you want,you can buy it from elsewhere with a much pretty bargain. but will there be any significant difference if i use VGA and HDMI? btw, im using this monitor on my dell studio laptop   QUOTE(ScarLight @ Mar 27 2010, 11:23 AM) About the DVI cable's last time i bought 2 types of DVI - VGA converter and both didn't work for my office PC as there was no display.. then i went back to the shop i told the owner, he instead took out the one in his display set and gave it to me. Lol it really worked  . Then i noticed all three had different number of pins attached/poking out but all are same shaped (i mean the pin sequence are identical)... so will this be a problem if i get a non dell DVI to HDMI cable ?   so you are trying to say that i should get dell's HDMI cable instead?anyway, im still confuse why one should use HDMI cable. i googled and it seems that the quality will be better but is this true? |

QUOTE(teNtiOn @ Mar 28 2010, 02:05 PM) received my st2410 few weeks ago, pretty impressive to me for the price. 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 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. |

QUOTE(cucubud @ Mar 28 2010, 10:12 PM) DVI cable is only RM8 (bought it from a shop in Subang Parade). yes it should be around there. dell offer, belkin HDMI at RM89 and bundle DVI & HDMI at RM98. so i assume DVI is RM9 QUOTE(ScarLight @ Mar 28 2010, 10:25 PM) Saw HDMI cable price is RM20 & RM40 for DVI - HDMI in Sri Computer. 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. lolanyway, why is DVI cable more expensive than HDMI? typo perhaps? |

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.

QUOTE(ScarLight @ Mar 29 2010, 12:19 AM) Thanks dude good answer. I saw the samsung model in All IT. But how did owners of ST2410 made their decision 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.  without a preview  ironically its kinda blind faith as well 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 This post has been edited by ham_revilo: Mar 29 2010, 01:06 AM |

QUOTE(kkhong @ Apr 1 2010, 01:17 AM) wow, amazingly your choice is exactly same as mine. Well, samsung B-30 series is relatively new monitor, whereas Dell st2410 is a half-year-old product. when you look at it carefully, dell doesnt include a DVI cable. only VGA iinm (correct me if im wrong). samsung: reputable for product quality, but have backlight problem (recent year the quality has dropped and the price u pay is for the brand, coincidentally samsung boss said the latter part himself), has calibration software. dell: reputable for after-sales-service, has what we call the legendary rma service quality status lol.., but panel might not be as good as samsung, less brightness than B2330H, This is what i might do, I'll go pc fair to find out whether Samsung got offer or not (lowest i see for B2330H is rm619), if it gets lower, then I might consider it. As for Dell, it has promotion till 25th April, so I think i have plenty of time to ditch Samsung for Dell (the price from website is rm679, but if you're a regular customer, ask for discount). Yes, both monitor doesn't come with USB. anyway y u need usb port when ur CPU should have the port as well? anyway, i bought ST2410 too on monday and arriving tomorrow  |
