Honestly, I owned 3 LCDs in my life so far and this is my experience:

a) 15" Philips LCD - 35ms
b) Dell E1905FP @ MVA panel - 8ms
c) HP LP2475w @ IPS panel - 5ms

I can notice incredibly ghosting on the old 15" Philips LCD. Well, that's expected as the panel carrying a 35ms spec. However, for both my E1905FP and LP2475w at 8ms and 5 ms respectively, I experienced no ghosting even played fast-paced FPS like Crysis etc. I do watch movie, especially blu-ray source at 1080p, no ghosting as well.

I'm not sure how you guys really could have spotted the ghosting effect from 12ms panel and below. I do have a very sensitive eyes myself and I couldn't notice any ghosting effect at all. I believe, panel with 12ms and below are good to go.

That's just my 2 cents and hope did not offended anyone

Perhaps, you could look just few pages back: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=32073850

I'm just guessing your situation since you did not elaborate in full details.

I assume you're attaching the 15" Philips to your laptop as secondary display (extended desktop) rather than you're expecting it to be primary display (switching) since you mentioned what shown in your monitor is different than your laptop.

To disable extended desktop view, simply goto display properties and uncheck the "Extended Desktop" option. Display properties where you set your screen resolution and color bit. Then from there, you should be able to select your primary display.

BTW, laptop usually come with short-cut function key on your keyboard that enable you to switch display between 3 modes:

1. Laptop ONLY
2. Monitor ONLY
3. Laptop and Monitor

You can toggle between the modes by the same short-cut key.

Hope this will help.

If you can't tell a different between IPS and TN panel with your bare eyes (please forgot what you read all about panels for that moment), perhaps that would be fine.

Where else you have a sensitive eyes and can tell the colour reproduction isn't as vibrant as an IPS can do, then might as well stick with IPS that's all

Furthermore, U2410 is quite affordable these days

Dilemma here...

Just bought a PS3 recently and planning to buy another LCD to hook it up on.

Currently I'm using HP LP2475w which is an IPS panel. I hooked up my PS3 on it and it just works brilliantly.

I'm wondering whether to pick just a good affordable ST2410 or another premium alike U2410 for my PS3 experience. But giving the premium price for U2410, I can actually save and head for larger LCD TV.

ST2410 or U2410 now? Hmm...

Apple Cinema Display 30"

Go get it

Or there is one 24" HP LCD, IPS panel with LED backlite, approx RM8K++ if not mistaken.

If LCD TV, I'll be opting for around 40". That's an item in my long-term list, but not necessary for the moment. How soon will the item reach or whether it will reach or not, also not necessary since my point for LCD TV just enjoyment of HD videos and PS3 which currently laid upon my HP LP2475w IPS LCD.

I'm just opting for an extra LCD because not all days I'll be at home. On working days, I'll be staying outside and that's the plan for the LCD to be there, PS3 purpose.

Beside ST2410, is there any other comparable LCD in the same league for 1080p display? Any Samsung's perhaps?

Hmm... then says I would get a decent and budget LCD for my PS3 at the moment. Would ST2410 be the best pick around or any comparable contender from Samsung, etc? LED backlite from Samsung or Acer?

Seriously LCD TV will be quite a long way for me to make it up now. I'm just opting to get a display so I can play PS3 on my working days too, which will be placed at the place I'm living during working days

Well, I already expected display only be display and no audio. I'll look into alternative speaker for the audio part.

ST2410? Alright, lets see if there's any pretty bargain for ST2410 during PC Fair

Out of ta topic:
Still not changing your speaker system, eh?

Ish... what a waste for 2 sets of R501 MKII getting dusted

Might as well selling (or giving) to someone that really need it (considerable me? )

I actually tried out the XL2370 at one cyber-cafe nearby my area . I didn't notice it was LED till I noticed the LED word on the bezel and then the contrast really significant. Colour reproduction wise, far matching my current running IPS in my room

As most people said, for LED, you'll see BLACK (Dark) colours are darker while WHITE (Bright) colours are brighter. I couldn't notice much different between LED and normal CCFL backlite then. Ouch, unless mentioning CCFL bleeding, that is inevitable.

XL2370 vs ST2410... Samsung doesn't produce any 24" LED backlite yet?

Hehe, both of us were kinda popular in Edifier's thread back then . Many people remember us actually due to that conversation about R501 MK-II

I'm still waiting for PC Fair to see if Dell would actually giving out any extra discount to their ST2410, perhaps by then I'll make my definite decision about getting ST2410

Actually, Plasma would be better off than LED LCD for big screenie?

I would actually love to upgrade my R501 MK-II, but the current setting already over-kill for my small room . Unless my plan to refurnish my living room arrived, I'll just stick with the R501 MK-II at the moment.

Neither way, at the moment it is impossible to find a LCD-TV that can actually produce the sharpness for text of a LCD monitor. Unless you use your display only for the big object in display such as gaming, watching video, etc. It's still recommended to get LCD monitor for text displaying purpose like viewing word, pdf, etc.

I don't recall if Dell providing any on-the-spot-pickup. As always, they'll just collect orders and then deliver to you, isn't that's the way all the while?

My friend just went to PC Fair today and he said Dell did not exhibits any monitors, only laptops

HP LP2475w or perhaps Apple Cinema Display if I'm not mistaken

I just paid a visit to LYP just now after work. Again, it has been a while since I last stepped in to a place I used to visit at least once in a week or two back in those old school days.

Many changes overall compared to the LYP back in years, I'm wondering if Sungei Wang will generating lower revenue due to LYP nowdays

Anyway, ends of sentimental. I just wanted to share an experience with you guys which I had just now. Almost hilarious or perhaps just too sad for it.

I walked into Dell's showroom and was browsing around. Then a sales guy approached me and I pointed at a monitor (I'm not so sure if it was ST2410, so I'm just trying to get a clarification).

Here we go...

Me: What's the model of this monitor?
Sales: *points at the Dell logo on the monitor bezel and said* It's a Dell model.
Me: Err... okay. (Hoping he got me wrong and so I ask again) I know obviously it is a Dell since this is a Dell showroom. Again, what's the model of the monitor?
Sales: *points on the description (written in wordpad) on the screen* It's a FullHD... HDMI... LCD Monitor.
Me: Okay, thanks and bye.

I myself for wasting my time...

I think I gonna place order for 2 units of ST2410 tonight. BTW, I'm wondering beside the Belkin HDMI cable and +2 years warranty, what else you guys included along with your order?

Wow, so many suggesting not to take the Belkin cable from Dell , thanks for the reminder

As for the warranty wise... I also not sure. Previously for my Dell E1905FP, I took the extra 2 years warranty for just RM50

@Shoot@M3
I'm not going for dual-display. I already got a 24" IPS running in my room . The ST2410 just to place at my rented room which I stays during weekdays so I can play after work . The other ST2410 belongs to my friend, he just tumpang order

I couldn't confirm about VGA vs HDMI, but I can surely tells there's a big different between VGA and DVI. I guess it'll still pour a different, since it's analog vs digital

Just received an sms notification from Dell that they'll deliver my monitors tomorrow

My ST2410s just arrived home. Made order and payment on Monday night and received it just now. Efficient

P/S: Provided if Dell got stock, LOL

Ouch... sorry for not noticing your reply earlier

Anyway, how has it been? Have you received your LCD yet?

I ordered for 2 units of ST2410s, so I should have received 2 units of power cord but they only gave me one . Called Dell and they said they'll send the remaining power cord to me

Received it on Thursday, but only booted it up last night for testing

Well, basically the display is good, but immediately upon 1st viewing will be able to tell how an IPS can be better than TN. The display just couldn't put up a fight against my HP LP2475w's IPS. Definitely, the price wise also much different.

Anyway, anyone here got good setting to tune up the ST2410 and care to share out?
