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.

well,i've had enough of LCDs with non adjustable stands [do they think all people have the same torso height??].It's a nightmare.If you wanna compare it to a car,my taste is for something that performs good for me,the outlook can be ultra simple for all i care,kinda like the VW Golf GTI
Then again this is aesthetics,a subjective value which differs from person to person.

The current crop of AOC's Razor line of LCDs look dashing though,pity that they don't offer other panels/adjustable stands

the U2410 was priced RM1699 last time iinm.
Between the U2311H and the ST2420L,it's a no brainer imo unless you need 24p playback/1:1 pixel scaling.What do you want to use LCD for actually?If it's for colour uniformity sensitive jobs then i suggest the 2209WA instead,this is because the panel uniformity for the U2311H is quite hit and miss.Some people have gotten them with tinting issues,while a majority didn't.

u2311h then imo

There's no need really,but it wouldn't hurt either way.I didn't install mine but there's a Windows Update driver for the LCD

it is THAT much better,the U2311H uses an 8bit panel which can display true 16.7million colours unlike 6bit TN in most LCDs below RM1000,the viewing angles are also much larger.The stand also has tilt,height and swivel function built in.

don't be fooled by the LED screen markteting,it is pretty much the same except for some power savings.Normal CCFL backlit LCDs use around 35w while LED backlit ones use 25w,the difference is just 10w
Assuimg the electricity tariff is RM0.3 per kW,you'll just save RM12 per year [12 hours usage per day].

compared to the higher end Ultrasharps,of course the U2311H isn't so good as it isn't factory calibrated.However compare that to other sub RM1k LCDs and they rock.Other have fake,too saturated colours which results in plasticky green plants,blue tinged babies etc.Compare that to the slightly opff U2311H and which turns out to be better?[The 2209WA is better but the res is too low]
The Samsung BX230/LG E2350T perhaps
There's the new ST2420L,but reviews have shown it to be so-so only.
It is better in a way that the colours are more accurate,it's not oversaturated like the E2350T.You can compare the U2311H/U2211H to the LCD used in the imac 21.5".Thye are of the same level iinm

For example,A likes the picture of a shrub he took to look greener in his LCD compared to the real one he seen

Added on November 7, 2010, 11:30 amit looks nice,but the stand adjustments are poor.Other than that there's no reviews that i can find yet so i can't comment much

for proper calibration you need a physical calibrator,they cost a lot.So don't bother.You can always use softwares to help your eyes calibrate the LCD,but it won't be as good as a proper one

On a sidenote,have anyone seen someone offer LCD calibrationservice?Spending more than RM300 for a one off job is not good,but if someone can do it for around RM30 then i'll be glad to pay

i doubt that as for other Ultrasharp LCDs they factory calibrate it,and they don't even offer calibrationas an option for the U2311H.
i can buy one calibrator from amazon for around RM400+- and offer calibration service for RM20-30 but unfortunately i don't have the time nor transport to do it.

Do you need to even ask that question in this thread?
Really limited budget,E2350T.If not U2311H

either way,you dould avoid the 2333tn,it only has a VGA port.PLus the stand can't be adjusted

the 2209WA has a better quality panel.it's better compared to the U2311H.Then again,i read at [H]ardforum that the newer REVA01 has no such problems anymore [or it has been reduced,mine is a REVA00 but i can't detect such things with my eyes].Still,if your needs are mission critical then take the 2209WA

One more thing,all LCDs that use the same panel as the U2311H [LG eIPS 23"] might have that problem.

U2410 for RM1200?a bargain if you ask me
1440x900?That's quite low res isn't it?you can't put two webpages/a4 documents side by side with minimal scrolling then

very close?i'm sorry if i'm going to offend you but are you a senior citizen?from my grade school brother to retired uncle,are all fine using a 23" 1920x1080 lcd from a distance of roughly 90cm or so.

btw,the site you asked,try digital versus,it is that site iinm.

30-45cm That's way too close.It's like how my grandmother put it "Nak masuk dalam TV ke?"

you have to physically inspect it,it's at the back of the LCD,near the ports

the ports should be clustered together,it's written on a sticker behind the LCD,under the ports iinm

for dead pixel you can just open a blank page using your web browser adn press f11 for fullscreen
any dead pixel will be black
for colurs you can use this site

anyway,to make your gray yellowish you should be able to do it by adjusting the colour temperature setting in your LCDs OSD,make the temp lower/set the colour mode to warm

what monitor do you use?
you can also try messing around with the gamma settings

iinm you can do that using your graphic cards control panel,but i'm nto sure,haven't tried that

you mean when you move from head on/parallel [0] to downwards/left/right/upwards?
