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

Didn't know got better deals than Dell from the website, ordered mine on Sat. Arriving tomorrow from the SMS. Gee..

hi everyone,

want to ask, is it worth to buy 3d monitor right now?

there is no such thing as 10-bit ips panel,the best are 8bit+frc lcd panel, if there, can it beat commercial plasma screen like panasonic vt30(8 bit) or 8 bit oled screen in colour accuracy and vibrancy and detail
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/monitor_panel_parts.htm

yupe, over advertised as 10-bit. 8bit+frc it is.

Most TN are 6 bit as well right? So if e-IPS is 6 bit, compared to TN still better color reproduction? Since technically they both produce 262k color (6 bit)?

Dell e-IPS is 6-bit + FRC = not-so-true 8-bit, so the color is slightly better but not as good as those true 8-bit H-IPS.

Most TN claiming to have 16M colors are also 6 bit + dithering/FRC (Example, my current Samsung 2233SW, shows it is a 6 bit + dithering)? Found these information from google, but don't really understand =(

Well I haven really look at IPS (even an e-IPS) before so I can't really comment but some of my friends whom already compared TN and IPS wouldn't even want to use TN anymore, prove that TN panel, no matter how hard they try (8-bit or 10-bit), TN is still a TN, the panel can't output so much colors, so they use sort of processing to make it looks better.
So, to conclude, IPS still kick ass, VA can kiss IPS arses.

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.

Yes, I'm glad DELL U2412M has IPS technology:)

Added on August 10, 2011, 10:32 amDELL U2410 is so tempting with it's high-end specs and design. However there is a hefty price to pay.

This song came in my mind. 'I want to be a millionaire so freaking badd...'

My Sony LCD TV is a 10bit panel. No idea if it is an IPS though but does it mean it has better colour reproduction than 8bit panels?

Ermm to answer your question. I think the more you pay for something the more you will get.

hey guys,

i asked at the hardware Q&A but no answer so i guess asking here wud be better..

any1 noe what i shud look at if i wanna buy 3d monitor?

i wanna buy the new samsung 23" 3d monitor but seems like some people disagree with it..dono why x_X

You are welcome to survey and look into Samsung latest 3D c/w LED monitor call SA Series. The design is flawless and specification is great. However expensive.

Good luck in your search:)

i already check the samsung

i love it a lot but then i heard ppl say itz not worth it..but im not sure with the reason..i tink it has sumthing to do with the nvidia thing

btw, whats the price and i can find it at any samsung store right?

LOL If I remember, I paid slightly over RM 10k at that time. So does that mean it's 10 times better?

It'll not support Nvidia 3D Vision. But you still can play game using it's own Glass included.
Conclusion is : If you own ATI Gcard, I suggest you go for that monitor. But if you own a Nvidia Gcard. I prefer you choose other brand that support 3D. Alienware maybe (23" Rm 13xx)

Hmmm, actually I was comparing between my TN monitor versus my iPad... color reproduction is different.. looks nicer and more saturated on the iPad. Both were calibrated by Spyder.

Oh well, sometimes when I'm doing editing on my photos. When I sit straight versus lying down have slightly different brightness on my screen, probably something to do with the viewing angle?. This is why I'm gonna try out this U2412M ... if its much better than my 2233SW, might consider getting another unit.. or probably wait for 2410's replacement with LED.
