Wow, so fast@! Mine was quite slow. No reply after I ordered for 3 days.


Now I why they called it as Advanced Exchange.

I'm envy.

Same thing happen to my LCD TV. When I connect to TV using HDMI cable, the screen is not full. Got black bars around. Any sifus pls help?

U2410 got component input. I believe the component inputs are blue, red and green. I'm not sure about PS2 output, if the only output is yellow color, it is normal video output. You can get a converter to convert the output to component outputs.

Also, Displayport cables are hard to find. I'm still prefer HDMI over Display port. Luckily my board could support HDMI and Displayport but HDMI cables are much cheaper.

Actually you cant really save much $ by using LED. I still prefer color accuracy that IPS panel could give over the ordinary TN panel.

BTW Dell U2311H does come with DVI-D cable right?

,really? Where can get those cables? I tried to find at PC shops but can't seems to find it.

Added on July 26, 2010, 4:53 pmPrefer matte finish because it will not reflect much environmental lights. If glossy finish then some people will have hard time adjusting their monitor for reducing the reflections .

Color accuracy is affected by the panel used, not the screen finishing. ATM, I can say that Acer's offering is quite attracting. However, Dell after sales service is better.

Added on July 26, 2010, 4:56 pmNot sure whether is the monitor problem or the GC problem. Have you tried connect the monitor to your laptop as stated in your sig? Try to indentify which one caused the problem first.

Sometimes loose connection will also affect the display.

In my opinion, Dell topic would be better as U2311H might be too narrow. BTW, the order tracking system is working fine for me.

@Traveler, how long have you ordered the monitor? Mine almost one week already

Your case is quite fast. However, Dell confirmed my delivery too.
@mikelanding, don't worry if you paid for the order. You will get it for sure but the feel of waiting is pain though Be patience

Yeah, Dell only process things during business days. I guess bank draft takes longer to process. Those who ordered just check the tracking system. They don't notify me through email.

Anyway, what is Dataport as mentioned few posts above?

4 USB ports, better mount (it is surprisingly more durable than normal monitor mount and also built in cable management), sharpness which is adjustable, premium panel warranty (you can exchange your monitor even there is a single bright pixel) and more professional look .


Hmm, can't really see much improvement in viewing angle: . My AOC 18.5" seems to have similar viewing angle. Maybe because of my AOC has manufacturer claimed 170 degrees viewing angle. Though it is more visible when viewing up and down.

One of the review. They are well known for color accuracy demanded workloads. Of course expensive as well
If I am a serious photographer, I would get one of those as well.
Actually color accuracy is important for those who always do printing so the color on monitor will be same as printing.

Added on July 30, 2010, 3:32 amI noticed there are some color temperature problem with U2311H.

On the left hand side of the screen, it seems colder and on the right hand side it is warmer. Thus, when viewing white background, left hand side is bluish and right hand side is yellowish.

Any users experiencing that?

Since you already bought it, what are you gonna do if its not not a good buy?

The U2311H has tinting issue. You can see the colors on RHS and LHS are not same/uniform. Contacted Dell regarding this issue and see what they gonna do about this

Back-light bleeding is minimal and I don't really work under dark environment. No DP or BP as well.

Any other users of U2311H mind giving their comments?

For tinting issue, you can try to use my method. Just put a white background and see the screen.

Sample as the picture I uploaded at post #1067

Did you went to replace your Dell LCD? I was thinking whether I shall keep it or exchange it. I don't feel like getting a refurbished one as a replacement.

Oh really? That would be great then. I try to call them on Monday and see how it works. BTW, do you have any links show the exchange TnC?

If your problem is not serious, you can just keep it. I always use the monitor for lightroom and PS, so this issue is a big no-no for me. If like that I get TN panel better , at least the color is uniform across the screen.



My screen's color is like divided by a diagonal line, upper left and lower right were totally two different tone. Pretty sure it is pink tint over the lower right screen. Gotta live for few more days with this LCD

Dell said this is within their specification. Even my RM300 monitor is not as obvious as this.

For the price, yes. Normally you get what you paid.

Hmm, just found out AOC also got IPS panel LCD which is IF23. Any other models that you all know? I realize not all brands mentioned about their types of panel.

Did you enable something like Dynamic contrast? Some monitor with dynamic contrast is just adjusting the screen brightness according to the displayed contents. So I don't really find much use of it as it really annoying. Dynamic contrast like xxxxx:1 and more is pure marketing gimmick. An ips panel will pawn those TN panels.
