wah. i see most of you guys use U2311H. btw, i'm using ST2420L, and very satisfy with it



comparison with my previous 17" with this Dell 24"

i love the simple industrial look for Dell monitors and the mechanical buttons too. It perfected my L-2000 desktop.

Because of the narrow bezel, I can combine it with other monitor very well. When it rotated it'll still look nice and balanced.

actually consumer level product for dell looks pretty stylish,maybe to cover the picture quality flaw
got my u2311h, colour are not as accurate as samsung va panel monitor(samsung 214t,which comparable to u2410 level maybe) but really satisfy for its price
the only complain is noticeable grainy screen and too bright(with 0 brightness)

Dell u2311h doesn't have hdmi port.. Anyone can recommend any nice and cheap converter?

Is the grainy thing very BAD??.....And noticeable during when??...i plan 2 get 1 also, but i wanna know the cons of dis U2311h.

Can you show us the grainy screen? Should use good camera with ISO50 and no flash to get a good picture.

grainy screen are normal for screen with antiglare coating, nothing serious here, maybe i look it too near(+-30cm) thats why noticeable
but i still recommend u2311h to other, i can give 9.7/10 for rating

I think the only con that I found are
1. No HDMI
2. A bit slow on power back on (took about 40 secs)



What grainy thing? Is it the backlight so uneven when viewed in dark environment?

it's not that bad imo,just the same as most other desktop LCDs.However compared to certain laptops' antiglare coating it is a bit rougher


bro,do you want to go into the screen?
it's the antiglare coating.

I'd prefer matted coating than glossy screen or else the grainy thing is because of your own reflection

hdmi can always been converted to dvi-d or displayport as long as u have the required adapter and monitor that using hdcp, audio can always get from optical,composite,3.5mm jack,just requires lots of cable and adapter
u sure it takes 40 sec,mine like 5 seconds only(viewing dell logo), the revision for monitor are A01

the u2311h does not have hdmi port.. can i buy 1 converter dvi-----> hdmi? got any difference????

You mean you turned off the computer and then turned it back on? How does that compare with other displays? Because I thought that would be because the computer doesn't have anything to show. Switching the display itself off and on only takes a few seconds.

YES you can buy the convertor. No different in visual appearance, just that no audio pass through only.

For the second time in this thread, I've answered the same question again

40sec for u2311h? i dont think so, mine is just about 5secs top

DVI good enough bro unless ur display input source require hdmi,then only u buy that converter. Can get from any electrical shop but dont get cut by them, i almost being 1 of their victim

Yes, that was exactly what I mean. When the PC is idle, turn it off and back on again ... took ~40 seconds. If watch football, miss a lot of goal shot already

The other TN monitor I used on the same PC turn back on in 4-5 seconds only. Samsung B1930 i used in the office right now, blinks in 1 sec only, like nothing happened.

Nvr experience slow power back on..40 sec is a long time, only take more o less 5 sec for me

Then it is clearly defective. RMA!

Ultrasharp tends to slow boot after the first or second power on.
I dont think its a defect but it was born to boot slow.

Maybe because I am using HDMI -> DVI convertor and also perhaps the monitor probes for other inputs on power on. I'll check the setting if I can set it manually to DVI only so that it wont probe for DP or D-SUB.

Gonna test it soon.
