first!!!
U2211H & U2311H power consumption is just great at 30+ watt
waiting for review, wonder who will get first

Are all widescreen monitors the same aspect ratio? The 17" widescreen LCD on my desk, vertical height is significantly less than the 15" LCD. The differene is much more than shown in the pic.

For widescreens there are two aspect ratios. 16:10 (eg: 1920x1200) and 16:9 (eg: 1920x1080).

For non-widescreen LCDs, 5:4 was also common (eg: 1280x1024).

i need a 21 inch and above lcd monitor.. budget below RM600
any good one to recommend?

Not a gamer but i use my lcd to watch movies so a good tilt would be good.
Any of the current dell lcd monitors are good? 20-24"

the only downside is the 8ms response time.. but lets hope that it doesnt cause a major problem when gaming and movie

Your link is not working.
Are you looking at the Dell ST2210 (RM579)?
Thie monitor seems to match your price and it is a Full HD.

i think 8ms is ok.. last time more than that..
maybe have lag or ghosting.. but not that obvious..

I never have any problem with my Dell's E1905FP 8ms MVA panel

Except that the colours reproduction and viewing angles better than TN

One more thing about the U2410 that I had forgotten. It uses 10-bit (1.07 billion) colours and not the usual 8-bit (16.7 million) colours that the U2211H and U2311H uses. Requires special hardware to push it through however as gaming cards don't bother with more than 8-bits.

Try it anyway. You might get lucky.

One thing about 8ms. 1000ms / 8ms = 125 changes (frames?) per second?

justanime is Dell panel really that good everybody seems suggesting to go for Dell instead of Samsung or other brand outside the market..

There's no DELL panel. DELL uses panel from other companies, for instance IPS panel is from LG.Philips. I think most people prefers DELL is due to the after sales service.

wa. new thread..
any P2770H users? It looks pretty sweet, and I was wondering about the performance and whether it is generally satisfying for its price tag.

Yeap I'm aware Dell doesn't have their own panel...
Agree their after sales service is good...
But how about the quality of the screen?? Let's compare Samsung LED?

i advise u to check Samsung although I've only 1 Dell monitor, only satisfied and nothing spectacular~

Full HD don't matter if there isn't any Full HD content being viewed~ if not mistaken, blue ray is the only content that can reach full HD and I don't think there is any content material for 720P and above other than that except Youtube~

5ms is not good enough for movie (worse for gaming)~ I'm using ST2210~

Samsung LED is still LCD, it's using LED as backlight. That's all. No big deal. A lot of people think that it is LED TV like advertised. It's misleading. It's actually LED LCD TV if you see other manufacturer advertise it - eg Sharp/Panasonic.

Dell has their own LED backlight monitor too, it doesn't sell too well because in the end it's up to the panel. Is there a Samsung LED monitor? Please enlighten me

Sorry I'm still new with this LED Monitor... Would like to seek for more advice before I make up my mind which monitor to get...
Hoping to receive more advice from the sifus here...
Will be using as my laptop projection and movies at times gaming....Please advise..

my 6ms still ok for movie.. unless that super duper high pace games..
but still make a distance would not notice much..
afterall the big screen no need to stare every details closely..

Yeah, the main reason why some of us chose Dell is because of their excellent after sales service. Had a few incidences with previous Dell products and the warranty claim process is quick and smooth.

As for the Dell monitors themselves, i noticed that the ST2410 has much lower backlight bleeding than the Samsung B2330 that i saw in a store. Satisfied with the black levels and colours as well. Then again, im referring to tn panels in general.
