justanime is Dell panel really that good everybody seems suggesting to go for Dell instead of Samsung or other brand outside the market..  smile.gif

There's no DELL panel. DELL uses panel from other companies, for instance IPS panel is from LG.Philips. I think most people prefers DELL is due to the after sales service.

Yeap I'm aware Dell doesn't have their own panel...
Agree their after sales service is good...
But how about the quality of the screen?? Let's compare Samsung LED? smile.gif

Samsung LED is still LCD, it's using LED as backlight. That's all. No big deal. A lot of people think that it is LED TV like advertised. It's misleading. It's actually LED LCD TV if you see other manufacturer advertise it - eg Sharp/Panasonic.

Dell has their own LED backlight monitor too, it doesn't sell too well because in the end it's up to the panel. Is there a Samsung LED monitor? Please enlighten me smile.gif

I received my U2311H, there are slight backlight bleed at the top left corner. Kinda disappointed because when I purchase my 2209WA last year, it was almost perfect - no backlight bleed, quality control was top notch.

It's all about saving the cost. tongue.gif

Anyway, how are the viewing angles on your U2311H?

Nothing to complain about the viewing angle. Looks the same compared to 2209WA. But definitely nowhere near my Apple Cinema Display.

2209WA is in its own league (Ultrasharp series) and currently in revision A02, ST2210 is never its successor. For new U23/U22, the quality of Ultrasharp LCD may have dropped to translate a better pricing, but with the same premium panel warranty and great stand with better viewing angle, I would say it is still a great deal in consumer market.

Spot on! Finally someone who knows what they're talking about.

Thanks. For DELL 2209WA, one quirk that bothers me though. The brightness adjustment is meaningless. It is overly bright out of the box especially at night, tune down brightness does not help dimming it. Now using with lower contrast setting for a more pleasant view. Other than that, it is simply superb.

New Ultrasharp user, do you have this problem?

I haven't found the time to play with my new 2311H yet, honestly speaking the backlight bleed turns me off a little. The initial plan was to sell my 2209WA and replace it with this new 2311H. Thank God I didn't. From the looks of it I'm going to stick to my old 2209WA, which I agree that the factory setting is overly bright. What I did was tune down both contrast and brightness from the stock 75 to 50. That ease my eyes a bit. This weekend I'll try to tune my 2311H, if it doesn't works for me, it'll be in my wife's office or the garage sale pretty soon.
