For the U2311H, I tried using Dell's live chat to ask for a better price - but the salesperson said it's nett price quoted on the net

Gavin is on leave till tomm, so i'll try emailing him as per previous post...

lol same date of purchase as yours. My ETA is 4th Oct. I got the quote and paid immediately thru bank transfer, but got my order confirmation yesterday. Not gonna bother about it, as long as it arrives i guess! This is more like impulse purchase, nice monitor, decent review and cheap!

Anyone who ordered the U2311H keeps getting their date pushed back? From 27 sept, to 4th oct, to 11th now! :S Guess they really dont have stock.

lol looks like 11th Oct would be a more accurate indication for most of us. But knowing them - it may get pushed to a week later!

what! If yours is 18th.. mine would be another week later... :S good deal also no use.. wont get to use it on the spot lol.. lucky it's just for dual monitor setup if i dont have a monitor to use now i'd cancel it..

the one with the google front page is obvious - Is it that prominent or it's only when you take the picture?

lol looks like all of us who ordered last month just got it one shot. I have to say.. you've really gotta try using IPS to believe it. I have one TN and one IPS side by side now and there's really a lot of diff!

as for tinting issues.. i guess i'm not bothered by it, not really noticeable to me.. maybe i'm not in graphics editing so it's not an issue! highly recommended!

I've looked up on this thread - some recommended settings

After calibration
Brightness: 30
Contrast: 75
Input Color Format: RGB
Mode Selection: Graphics
Sharpness: 50
Dynamic Contrast: Off
Response time: Overdrive
RGB: Custom
• R: 99
• G: 95
• B: 98

I did not install any profile - you got it from the cd?

Can't seem to find the overdrive thingy in the lcd menu - been looking for it!

Dell's U2311H

As for Zodius - just search this thread for calibration - you can find some settings. For most people though the monitor looks pretty good right out of the box, to me anyway. But probably can lower down the brightness and contrast level.

I've tried the settings which i posted earlier - looks a bit darker only and to me a bit washed out lol

It all depends on their stock availability... but for the price you're paying it's probably one of the more worth it 23" IPS monitor out there.

If you can wait and have a spare monitor then go ahead and get it! If you dont have any monitor to use now and cant wait, then maybe hafta look for alternatives. Or loan an old CRT from a friend to use while waiting

i have a normal 20" next to my 23" wide screen, and i can say the 23" is still slightly higher lol
