gaming on IPS monitor rocks man....!!.......o ya has anyone try using the video mode and + natural mode for playing games??....I try it on Batman and tomb raider underworld....its gorgeous and sharp...........................game onn

Dell monitor all dull one, I don't know about Samsung cause no fix price list online.
For some monitors pricing, you can go to pczonecomputer.com and compu-zone.com to download their pricelist, they can be used as guide line for your budget.

p/s: Your presentation attender is looking at the monitor or the content? o.0"

what do u actually mean?

can u tell the different between a 1000:1 contrast lcd to a 50000:1 contrast lcd

When you look at Ultrasharp series, simple straight-forward 1.7cm width frame all around, no fancy curve, no piano shiny finish, very simple button, that's dull.
When you look at Acer, Samsung for example, all their latest one, has very slim, sexy stand, the frame has piano shiny finish, transparent curve to make the monitor looks much attractive.
So it'll depends on what customer is looking for, some like fancy shiny stuff, some like me just look at the features and the panel tech.
Oh, I like the U2311H bulky leg, hehehe


Those are dynamic contrast, does not really has any different when you view it side by side. Marketing gimmick.
Please look at those monitor review to check their actual contrast ratio.

What do you mean presentation attender is looking at the monitor or the content?

Also anyone know where you can get a dual monitor stand? like this?

iinm i saw that in garage sales,display section before.have you tried searching there?

I'm fine with the brightness as long as the color and contrast remains pretty much the same.
it's also not like I'm going to put the 3 monitors at 90 degrees.

in your opinion, Dell or Samsung monitors is better?

if you get the dell,it's much cheaper and you'll have dell's warranty for the LCD but the bezel's gonna be 3.4cm thick.for me that's really distracting.on the other hand the samsung has a thinner bezel but the cost and warranty issue is too much to swallow.

tl;dr
i can't tell which is better for your eyefinity setup

thanks will try there.

btw, i'm buying a dell with Intel® GMA X4500

The dell person told me I can buy a PCIe adapter for RM35 and I can use 2 monitors - different display

you mean you're buying a pc with the GMA X4500?mind giving the model?

dell vostro slim 230

the option not on the site
but the dell technician said when i order it they will include it in.

any idea what adapter he's talking about?

it couldn't be a graphic card if it's that cheap.this is the first time i've heard of it.
though based on your description i think it's an adapter that connects to the X4500 IGP adding another port for display.The X4500 should support two displays at once natively if you have the ports needed

can the x4500 support an additional port with 2 x 23inch monitor? 1920x1XXX (sorry cant remember the resolution) both monitors displaying different things?

does such a device exist?

HDCP support is there,that's why you can play PS3 games on it fine.Have you ever seen Blu Ray demos for LCDs in stores?Notice the super smooth lifelike motions?That's 24p playback.The LCD is supposed to be able to do 1920x1080/24Hz for 24p playback.Now,i'm not sure whether 24p is optional or mandatory for Blu Ray movies playback,but if you've bought the rather expensive discs you'll want it to display at it's best wouldn't you?

about the scaling,i prefer the LCD to be able to do it properly.

A lot of Dell fan in this thread, but for me Dell's monitor, although might be good quality, the design is too old-style and "dull". I want something that looks good on my table, not some old square plastic box.

Samsung however, i lack faith in, you have to make sure you get a GOOD unit, that itself might be a real challenge...

thinking of either dell U2711 (large screen) or alienware OptX™ AW2310
23"W (3D-Capable Monitor)

What is ur opinion?

uumm. More specified? which model for Samsung monitors?

and should I go for Dell Professional P2311H or Dell UltraSharp U2311H? both at the same price @ RM649.

Dell monitors, especially the Ultrasharp and Professional series is for serious user, not for those who'll show off their monitor or for self-satisfaction, so I think myself is not the one that'll look at the cover first, panel quality come first. Samsung right now has quite poor QC after they become popular few years back, and their panel is getting out of hand, I myself have since not so fond of the brand, been fan of the CRT monitors (until 2 units broke down in 2 years, shame!).

You can have a look at TVs, it'll cost you dearly but for the price, the finishing of the covers looks great and attractive.

U2711: resolution is 2560x1440, IPS panel, 60Hz, for serious graphic professional.
AW2310: resolution is 1920x1080, TN panel, 120Hz, for 3D gaming and movies.
Your $$ your decision, if I can afford that amount, I'll take U2711 anytime.

P2311H is TN, LED, faster response time 5ms WTB.
U2311H is IPS, CCFL, slower response time 6ms GTG.
Other specs such as the stands, features almost the same.

well,not being a fan of any brand here,but personally i'll take panel quality+functionality over design any given day,Those U and P series monitors are designed with function over form in mind [large stand with tilt and swivel etc,usb ports].Besides,do you look at the screen or the bezel?

the one in the amazon link you posted before.
i'd take the U2311H over the P2311H,if you use a TN panel for an eyefinity6 setup you'll run into problems with viewing angles .btw,you might want to look at the 2209WA,it has an even better panel quality than the U2311H.
