i advise u to check Samsung although I've only 1 Dell monitor, only satisfied and nothing spectacular~

Full HD don't matter if there isn't any Full HD content being viewed~ if not mistaken, blue ray is the only content that can reach full HD and I don't think there is any content material for 720P and above other than that except Youtube~

5ms is not good enough for movie (worse for gaming)~ I'm using ST2210~

i haven't received a word from DELL ever since I asked for warranty a week ago~ just got an auto-response e-mail and that's it~ anyway, 5ms from my ST2210 isn't enough responsive enough for movies~ I'm a newbie at monitors but I seriously see that high resolution .avi movies are much better (although yes, they are compressed) than in pixel quality as compared to the DVDs I bought and this should be due to screen size~ the downloadable movies have smaller screen size, thus, the chance to have more pixels in that small area of screen~

I've tried to search for a comparison shootout for ST2210/ST2410 against others but couldn't find one~ this is my first LCD and after a 2-days tour at PC Fair and comparing it with my current ST2210, I'd say that the colour quality is average only (probably due to those panels at PC Fair being IPS or plasma), backlight bleeding is minimal but occurs at the sides (can't see any bleeding at all at PC Fair, so can't compare), and the 5ms is irritating me, although I've no chance to compare responsiveness towards others~ all in all, DELL wins when it comes to bang for bucks, I'd rather save up for an IPS panel when it gets cheap~

please guide me if I'm wrong, my write-ups here are only opinions since I know nothing about LCD until I joined the Hardware section 2 weeks ago~ I still get irritated with the 5ms...

watching movie gets me dizzy when the camera swings from one side to another~ Geforce 4 ti with Full HD, 60Hz refresh~ somehow, I think that it is either the refresh rate or the 5ms responce time~

1 bright spot, obvious on black wallpaper~ I was asked to supply service tag but couldn't find any 9-11 digit code although I've written down all codes and called Skynet, Dell CS and Dell hunting line for help~ no one picks up phone for technical support and I can't get through Dell CS coz none of the codes work (service tag)~ I've submitted a warranty request online a week ago and all I get is an automated reply and that's it, no calls, no contact~

cheap IPS panels~ the colour reproduction should be top notch~ I guess the need for review would only be for major issue like response time~ superb price~

i think for anime, the colours don't need to be very accurate and I doubt that there will be any ghosting issues~ the movements may be too slow for ghosting to be noticeable, if any~

wow! thanks! I'll go try it out tomorrow during lunch

whoa, they may have placed wrong price

i was considering 24" and 21.5" ST series from Dell and was very happy to get 21.5" due to the distance the monitor is away from me~ this distance will determine the quality of your viewing due to angels away from the centre making the sizes of objects skewed and colours fade (like white becoming beige and lower levels of brightness)~

for this distance, feel free to go to LYP to try out other monitors~ I advise u to request for face paced movies~ I tend to miss out the sides of the 21.5" if I sit 1 foot away and at about 1 1/2 feet away, it is the sweet spot for me as I don't like to miss out the edges during a movie~ also, due to pixel sizes when a screen becomes big (and resolution staying the same), I will say that it is not the bigger the better unless u have Full HD materials or use Windows most of the time (though even when using Windows, you may have to sit further away as compared to usual to see two ends of the screen at the same time, like for picture preview or icon search)~

please write a review if u are purchasing U series from Dell~ I'm interested to know how it fairs as well~

yes! another review, haha~ where do u stay?~ mind if I come over to take a look and help out the review (I mean holding things or snapping pics for u while u do the review, lol)?

u'll most probably regret it~ the reason for gamers still using CRTs is because of the responce time~ it's all about frame rate and excellent refresh with no lag~

agreed, definitely will bother u if it's high response time~

gamers should go for faster response, it's all u need~ although it may be a marketing gimmick, response time is still pretty standardized; grey to grey~ why don't u check out some LCDs at a shop, but make sure u play games on it to experience it~ another factor is how large the screen is; the larger it is, the further u have to sit away from it, otherwise, u would have effect of not enough refresh rate (here we go again)~

anyway, someone's selling ST2210 for RM560 with 3 years warranty, I think it's worth it and suitable size for gaming~

yes, I think CRT has best refresh rate~ big 40inches is for PS3, not PC gaming due to the need to stay at least 1m away~

Full HD is 1920x1080p, 21.5" can get full HD~ probably check garage sales, someone's selling ST2210 for RM560 with 3 years warranty~

are they confirmed Samsung panels or panels from other sources?~

hhmm... we need to know how good or bad it is~

that sounds terrible~ my ST2210's backlight bleed is not that noticeable and even none existent for normal usage~ for the U2311H to be worse than the 2209WA, which is an old version of the ST2210, I guess this is where the U series is lacking~

my mistake, guys~

I'm in~

dude, if u're in, then it's 1 less person to confirm la~

for your budget, why not pick a 22"? the pixels are smaller but u are getting exactly the same amount of pixels~ it's just the difference of sitting closer or further from your monitor~ anyway, Full HD material will only show the potential of Full HD, which is only dual layer DVD, blue ray or 1080 trailers~ even Byond is 720P only if not mistaken~

feel free to check out this 22" RM495 that we're gonna COD in bulk tomorrow -> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1450752

could it be because this batch is the first batch?~

possible but unlikely, our friend paid for a new monitor~ Dell would've gotten their brand in danger if they supplied even 1 refurbished unit as new unit, besides, they are the ones giving warranty~

this seems like IPS glow instead of bleeding as mentioned before by another forumer~ if u don't view the 'bleed' at other angles, then it's an IPS glow, which is natural~

but yours seem to be a very severe IPS glow as compared to my current ST2210~

time to pester them every few days ~

i got a 2209WA, the resolution of 1680 x 1050 is killing me~ text looks blurry on every other line because of no native support from my GeForce 4ti~

there is a ranking for monitors on gaming~ I didn't save up the page but it's from a forum~ seems like 6ms is good for gaming~ but when it's advertised as 6ms, it doesn't always mean 6ms~
