Added on October 4, 2010, 1:27 ami forgot to mention this before but the U2311H uses 28W - 35W while idle,that's pretty much in the LED backlit territory

looks like your eyes are sensitive to that.well,if that's your 3rd unit already then there's no helping it.Looks like LG's QC sucks real bad this time [they are pretty much the only company making eIPS panels]

But i really can't notice the tinting,but i can notice the difference in colour,on the spot.

the brown color?that's IPS glow,it's visible if viewed off axis on some IPS panel LCDs.

they aren't the same thing
but that's backlight bleeding

the buttons,the stand?

Added on October 9, 2010, 1:00 amif you're buying a monitor,you shouldnt give a damn about Dynamic Contrast ratios,heck,you shouldn't use the specs as guidlines.Try to find reviews for the LCD.

about the LCDs you mentioned,wihout a doubt the U2410 is the ebst among the three.It uses an IPS panel which is factory calibrated for accurate colours.BTW,actually even the U2311H might do the job fine IF you get a uniform panel,but that dpends on luck realy since a few people got ones with uneven colour panels [cooler on the left,warmer on the right]
If you ahve the budget,get the U2410 then.If youw ant to save money yet still get a good enough LCD get the 2209WA [as far as i can tell it isn't plagued with colour uniformity issues of U2311H]

your budget?Assuming your budget is around RM700,get the Dell U2311H from Dell Online.It doesn't have a HDMI port but you can use a DVI to HDMI converter for it.However it doesn't support 24p Blu-Ray playback [but iinm you can make it not play at 24p,right?]

imo RM350-400 would be reasonable
A is for analog input aka VGA slot.D is for digital input aka DVI.DVI/HDMI/Displayport is better since the digital images from the PC won't have to be converted to analog.Some quality is lost during such conversions.
Response time is the time needed for the colours to change [still depends on how the LCD is rated like GTG ].Basically you don't have to mind this
Those 5m:1 ratio is the contrast ration,and those figures are bullshit.Don't mind them.Such LCDs actually even struggle to get 1000:1 contrast ratio.
If the LCD supports HDCP then you find a DVI to HDMI adapter then plug a HDMI cable from your Xbox to your LCD
Basically try finding one that have a DVI slot and looks the best to your eyes

have tried running it not at 24p?i'm curious.btw,where did you bought it,and what's the price for the disc?

i'm curious whether you can run not at 24p for blu rays since i'm planning to get a ps3 too,btw,where did you bought the disc?does it have subs?

now you know why some people say samsung is highly overrated.

those high contrast ratios are fake,they're dynamic contrast ratio which dims and brightens the LCD depending on the situation.Personally it hurts my eyes and freaking annoying
The U2311H is all dandy except it doesn't support 1:1 pixel scaling and 24p blu ray content playback.Other than that personally i can find no qualms about it.

LYP [Lowyat Plaza] shops typically don't sell Dell LCDs,on LYN [Lowyat.net] there's tonnes of Dell LCD sellers.Or you can just buy at dell.com.my

i'm using a U2311H,the bezel's 1.7CM thick
most computer LCDs that i've seen have around the same thickness

it means that you can't play hd movies on blu ray discs using this lcd,ps3 gaming works fine.only bluray movies playback is affected.
1:1 scaling is needed when you want to use programs and games that doesn't support 16:9 aspect ratio yet still want the picture to not be stretched.for example,old games like starcraft and warcraft doesn't support 16:9 aspect ratio so if you play those games the picture willbe stretched
the ST2010 is larger,plus the LED backlight doesn't really make a difference in picture quality.I've seen a E1920X on dislplay before and it's panel quality isn't good,even for a TN.Colours wash out quickly when you view it at an angle unlike itt's cousin the BX2350.You can also consider the Dell IN2020WM for rm410 in garage sales,i've seen my friends unit before and it has good viewing angles.Naturally the colours aren't that accurate but it's definitely better than the E1920X

i don't know about pirated blu ray movies though,do they run at 24p too?are those on blu ray as like the real stuff?

Added on November 1, 2010, 11:28 pmimo that LCD is not worth it,yes the bezel's thin but for 549 freaking usd you only get a 19" TN panel LCD.Plus since it uses TN you'll have problems with viewing angles as your eyes won't be perpendicular to all of the screens.

shit,sorry man,i read the wrong product details,it isn't a 19" LCD and it doesn't use TN panel.seeing the [real] viewing angles and the fact that it's a samsung,it should be using a VA panel instead.

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

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

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

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

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.
