The 24" version is not a direct replacement for the U2311H,if you want to use it now get it now,if you want the same panel but with LED backlighting get the LG IPS236V

There are pros and cons of both the LCDs,one is not entirely better over the other.
U2311H=Better stand with 4 USB ports,better warranty policy,CCFL backlighting
ML239H=Slimmer,WLED backlighting so color gamut is reduced a bit,some prefer it's look over the U2311H's look

Other than that the two are the same.

Unless you knew someone who has those it's pretty near to impossible,however i've seen photo shops before that use U2410s for PCs that customers can use to print photos.

eIPS panel displays and premium TN displays can also display that image with little to no visible bandings too.


U2311H to U2410=Not worth the cost incurred
U2311H to U2711=Now that's an upgrade

RM2499 from Dell online.If you get those 1920x1080 27" displays you're only upgrading in size but downgrading in terms of panel quality and PPI [sharpness so to speak].
Your choice though.

IPS isn't about the panel being an 8bit panel or a 10bit panel or a 6bit panel,instead it's called that way because the crystal molecules inside the panel move parallel to the panel plane instead of perpendicular to it thus the name [In Plane Switching]

It's true that the U2311H/IPS236V/ML239H's panel is a 6bit +AFRC panel so theoretically it isn't as good as an 8bit eIPS panel like the one in the 2209WA ,but you can see there's tonnes of reviews on the net about the U2311H and the 2209WA.
I had the same reservation as you're having right now for the last 2 weeks but in the end i decided to get another U2311H instead of the 2209WA because well,overall the U2311H is better.Higher resolution,smaller footprint,Dell warranty,slightly better contrast ratio .Yeah it's 6bit+AFRC and yeah the viewing angles are smaller,but in the end there's little to no colour banding at all and the viewing angles are still good even if it's not downright outstanding.

I tried with Photoshop CS4 just now,same thing no flicker

I've seen the IPS236V before in shops,the viewing angles are similar compared to the U2311H so it isn't bad.

Cucuk Lambat?

U2311H=No banding even if it's only 6bit + AFRC.Hell,even good TNs these days can produce little to no banding [like the XL2370]

Colour gamut larger than 72% NTSC /100% sRGB is usually undesireable for most people unless your programs are colour space aware.If they are not colour space aware the colours will be oversaturated.

If that's so then you're better off deciding yourself after seeing those displays in the shop as proper reviews of such displays are scarce.

HP ZR24W RM1299 @ HP online

Quite similar compared to the U2311H except for the design,backlighting and calibration
IINM LG offers 3 years warranty.
For your budget
Dell Ultrasharp U2311H RM609 from Dell.com.my [IPS panel,CCFL backlighting]
LG IPS236V RM625 from the garage sales section [IPS panel,WLED backlighting]
BenQ VW2420 RM779 from the garage sales section [VA panel,WLED backlighting]

Compared to the generic TNs you find on other displays the IPS and VA panels on these displays produces better colours,considerably better viewing angles,deeper blacks [especially the VA ones,they can produce a contrast ratio of 3000:1]
Sharpness=High res small size screen and the lack of matte coating
Vibrance=IPS panel

If you get a 23" eIPS display like the U2311H/IPS236V you'll get the same colour vibrance but not the sharpness [which may lack a little] due to the matte coating on these displays.Rest assured though they are going to be better then your old display unless it's already a good one like the ACD or the 2209WA

The price is used to be stated there but no more right now
You can't adjust it's height,there's no USB ports on the LCD,out of the box it isn't quite as accurate as the U2311H.Other that that they should be the same.BTW,there's no shop selling the U2311H at LYP,you need to order it online.Hell,even the IPS236V is quite hard to find at LYP.

HDMI is not important unless you're going to use a PC,laptop and a console connected to one monitor at once.
If you use a HDMI - DVI converter you'll be able to connect your PS3 to the U2311H.Sound goes through the AV Multi cable
AFAIK 27" eIPS 1920X1080 LCDs doesn't even exist anywhere
Yes of course it can support even if you use the VGA port.HDMI is not mandatory for "high definition" gaming,you just need a monitor with the correct resolution and a VGA/DVI/HDMI port.

The U2311H has better colour reproduction,better viewing angles,better stand,better warranty.If you're a designer on a tight budget the choice is obvious.

The price will remain the same,don't worry.It has been that way for ages.
Now if you don't have a crdit card you cans till buy from them either by calling them or buying the monitor from the garage sales traders [warranty is covered by dell so don't worry,they only act like a middle man]

LG IPS236V RM625~ [WLED backlight but out of the box not as accurate as the U2311H,more consumer-ish design]
Asus ML239H RM759~ [WLED backlight but out of the box not as accurate as the U2311H,much more expensive]

You can consider these models
LG E2050T RM350 Lowyat Plaza
Samsung S20A300B RM379 Lowyat Plaza

Stuttering?Are you sure it's the display that's causing it?

For a good all rounder i would suggest the Dell Ultrasharp U2311H which is sold for RM609,great colour accuracy and reproduction,great viewing angles,great stand and warranty policy,response time that should be fast enough.
However,if you want something cheap consider the RM489 LG E2350T
Asking at this section would yield better results

That one doesn't have a TV tuner and it's smaller but otherwise identical

DP can be used for 2560x1440/1600 unlike HDMI which maxes out at 1920x1080,and manufacturers who use DP don't have to pay royalty for using it unlike HDMI,other than that they are the same.

Technically the U2410 is better than the U2412M but since there's no proper reviews yet we can't say for sure which is better.
The U2410 also covers 100% of the AdobeRGB IINM so if your apps and work demands it it would be better than the U2412M.

if you.re in a hurry then i would recommend the DellU2311h that is sold for rm609.if you.re not in a hurry i suggest waiting for the u2312hm which is the successor for the u2311h
viewing angles are much better compared to tn.colour reproduction is similar or better when compared to a good tn panel.the same can be said forcontrast too

Dell Ultrasharp U2412M Review

Based on that review the U2412M performs similarly compared to a U2410 but costs half the price,out of the box it has rather warm colours though

These days even TNs [good ones,not the bargain bin ones] can display that amount of colours with little to no banding based on my experience,so the 6bit part isn't really important imo.The same can be said for the eIPS panel monitors.

What's more important imo is viewing angles,with TNs when you turn or tilt or move your head even slightly there will be gamma shift.When this happens the colours would look off.On eIPS such things doesn't occur.

The U2311H has better stand,better warranty policy and better factory calibration
Comparing dynamic contrast ratio is a waste of time,each manufacturer measures it differently and there's no way a TFT / LCD screen can reach such contrast ratios in the first place.
