Yeah, it hardly looks like that.. add in those purplish tint at the edges and you get that.

Well, I think I can't get used to the 16:9 format.
I think I need to go back to 16:10 format.

I think you need to change the input to VGA, for this you have to configure based on the manual.. because the monitor says "No HDMI Input, No Signal" which means it is configured to receive signals from HDMI input but you plugged it into VGA.

No one has any U2410 to dump?

Just a question: Does Dell usually do product discounts before PC trade events like the upcoming PC Fair?

So far, the lowest for the U2410 is RM1699 - RM200 (coupon) + RM62 (5 years premium panel guarantee) = RM1561.

I'm a little blur here.. must be tiredness catching up on me.

What you are saying is..

1. I should call Dell up and ask for a corporate rate as a registered private company.
2. They will settle my warranty and 'stuff' as soon as possible (not clear about this statement)

Confused la bro.

Bro.. you dont have a USB downstream connected to your PC/laptop.. where the USB will be read by the computer?
Unless the PC/Laptop communicate with the monitor via the power cable la.. haha
Or they communicate wirelessly or via vibrations on the table.

Go to TFTCentral and get their ICC profiles lo.. and see whether it is better or not.

Congrats.
I just got my U2410 too. Minimal backlight bleeding.

Kinda not used to such a big screen in front of me. Haha

Even from 2007WFP to U2311H... colours are much vibrant, viewing angles remained the same while text was sharp in both landscape/portrait mode while my old Dell 2007WFP seemed to have a problem of displaying sharp text in portrait mode.

So this U2410, despite the AG coating (couldn't notice it much really, maybe I am used to it already with the 2007WFP) totally rocked my socks.

Found this website, should be good for those thinking how to compare the size of 16:10 24" to 16:9 27", etc.

http://tvcalculator.com/index.html

Input the size, resolution as well as the aspect ratio for an estimated outlook on how different images look on the monitor itself.

Can sticky it up if needed.
Cheers!

Mine's definitely an LG/Philips LMW2001TAU (if I remember correctly) panel after checking out the service code as well as having to live with the IPS glow.
I think it arises due to many factors such as:

1) Excitement over new monitor
2) Wow feeling upon pressing the power button and going WOW
3) Better CCFL backlights

Now after going to U2410 from U2311H, I don't find any difference at all.

Took some pictures of the U2410 last night.

Ditto.

I originally thought I could use 2xU2311H for the price of 1 U2410 but I came full circle - using a U2410 currently.

Nothing beats the 16:10 aspect ratio.. for those that managed to get used to it, I guess they came from using laptops (widescreen) but I have always been a desktop user so maybe that is where our difference lies.

@everling: I sold those off to fund for a U2410. One was even left in its virgin condition.. even a U2311H was enough real estate for me!

Hi,

I've seen your reply for quite awhile now, from the initial launch of the Dell U2311H until now.
Back then, you were unsure about the quality of the monitor and put off buying because of potential 'lag' issues.

Now that the problem is proven to be non-existant, or people who buy IPS monitors do know that the monitors will be 'laggier' than their TN counterparts, the Dell offer coupon was over.
Then the Dell monitors went out of stock.

Now that they are back in, with a RM70 discount coupon, I think it's time to get, instead of contemplating whether to get one or not.
Don't miss this boat and regret it again!

Finally, a 30" with OSD and customizable controls (if those leaked photos are indicative of what the 30" will be)

However, despite all of us drooling over a 30" monitor, how feasible is it to use it in real life?
Even a 24" 16:10 is slightly larger for me at less than 1m away from the screen.

Couple that with a 30" 16:10 2560x1600 monitor, you will have to squint your eyes more (moving your body forward) and therefore causing you to lose sight of the whole monitor and therefore causing eye strains and injury.

I say buy 2 27" instead if I really wanted the real estate.

None that would be within your reach.

Only available laptop so far are either the Apple offerings, or you have to pay a huge sum for this one.

HP Elitebook 8730/40W

Pricing is definitely out of the common man's reach but if you googled for real life pictures, the image quality is nothing short of amazing! Maybe that might sway you to shell out the dough for one.. who knows?

A cheaper option (what I am also trying to source now) would be to get a 2nd hand Thinkpad of the T4x/T60x series that comes with either 15" 1400x1050 or 15" 1600x1200 IPS panels, which IBM/Lenovo calls Flexview displays.

HP calls theirs Dreamcolor displays.

Don't know about you, but when I switched from the older S-IPS (2007WFP) to the current e-IPS (Dell U2311H), I was blown away, feels like going from TN to IPS all over again!

So, to me it's definitely worth it... S-IPS is nice for those who have never enjoyed IPS before.. but going to E-IPS was a real treat from an S-IPS user. To me, the colors were nicer and text quality was sharper.. maybe it was due to Windows7 but pictures generally look great.. i'd dare say a guesstimate of around 10-20% better than my old S-IPS.

Moving from a Dell U2311H (eIPS) to a Dell U2410 (H-IPS) didn't yield that WOW moment for me anymore.

IMO, the eIPS are capable screens and truly worth it at this price point.

In a nutshell, if you belong to any one of the following:
1. I'm afraid of bleeding at the corners and it's so bad
2. I'm afraid of getting tinting issues on my monitor
3. I need to game, 8ms is too much response time for me, I'm scared I'm too professional to notice the ghosting/lagging effects on my IPS panel
4. I don't even know that the swivel/tilt/pivot/height function on the Dell Ultrasharp series monitors is important, come on it's a stand right? What's so special? I'd rather have my static stand monitor any day!

Just get another monitor. The Dell is not for you.

However, on the other hand - you realize that you are paying for:
1. Premium Panel Guarantee
2. Adjustable ergonomic monitor stand so that the monitor fits you and you do not have to adjust your head to use the monitor
3. Care for better colour accuracy and a better panel overall
4. Great industrial design with a non-glossy screen

Time for some Dell Ultrasharps!

However, given those comments, I would have been rather fond if Dell did the following for the U2311H:
1. Stop manufacturing 16:9 format screens, people have LCD TVs to watch TV shows. Not a monitor.

PS: All those above are of my personal opinions, if you didn't like that, there's no need to start a flame war.
