Do you have it with Complete Cover warranty ?

I dont knw..How do i check..Can u pls check it fr me?Ill give u my code?

When you check the warranty online, did it got say accidental damage or complete cover on the list ?

It says next -day -business-on site?

If only have that, then most likely only the normal warranty..

I'm afraid its not covered, but you could always try call them..

Damn it , hw much do u think if i upgrade mine to complete cover? :S

I'm not sure if can upgrade warranty, most likely need to extend to longer warranty with complete cover..
More than RM500 per year I guess..

Haihh :'(

Been using that

haha nice. so far ok for you?

My only complaint is that the brightness has been reduced quite a bit

But it scored pretty well in the black levels test http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php

I can differentiate all the black levels from pic 1 to the last (but i set my brightness max lah )

hmm, mine can't differentiate 1 until 3.

If I use 8-22-2010 profile, can't differentiate 1 and 2.

hmmmm I think same case with weingseen.

anyway, im getting a U2312HM soon

Plan to use the display port ?

yup. i saw some bought a DP port to "full" DP port.. means our port is the mini one?

And yeap, planning to get spyder to calibrate the monitor as well.

Nope, the regular one.

Ohhh i see.

Btw, i saw ur siggy. What's that ATI GPU scaling fix for?

For scaling the screen when running at not native resolution, e.g. have black bar on the sides or full screen..
We can adjust the settings on CCC, but some laptop with ATi GPU don't have that settings on CCC, so can use that to adjust it.

sigh.. just got my U2311H but problem now is that my laptop can't use its own colour profile anymore..

It's a bit long but hope you guys might understand

Problem:

Had problems with the colours of my ext monitor(it being too warm). Luckily, managed to fix it but there's another problem:

My laptop screen is displaying the default colour profile instead of the calibrated colour profile I downloaded off the net, even though it's set as default already

What happened:

(My monitor is currently using calibrated colour profile)

Brought back monitor, plugged into laptop and all. Started it and was surprised to learn that the colours are way too warm. Look up some black and white pictures and find them brownish.. the whites aren't even whites!

Checked the colours on my laptop, it's cooler and more accurate! The whites look more like whites than my ext monitor. (my laptop is still using the default calibrated colour profile)

Feeling a bit fustrated already, so I tried to calibrate my own monitor using the RGB mode where you input your own Red Green and Blue levels. Tried and tried and tried, still couldn't get the whites to look white. Was totally way off.

So I tried opening the ATI Catalyst Control Pro Centre, looked up at 'dekstop colour' and saw the icon ' Reactivate Colour Control' !!! It was unticked so I tick it loh.

To my surprise!! All the colours in my ext monitor came back!! No more warm colours now.. all accurate. Black and white looks like really black and white picture. White is white and black is black.

BUT big problem is that, my laptop colour profile reverted back the default colour profile So yes, this is the problem now.

tl:dr So in short

before reactivating colour in ATI control centre, laptop accurate, monitor inaccurate(warm)

After reactivating colour control: Laptop accurate-----> inaccurate (from using calibrated profile to default), Ext monitor inaccurate------> accurate

So what did this ATI colour thingy do ah? I want both to be accurate!
