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

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)?

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 =(

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.

Just opened up my U2412M! , love it. My 21.5 inch 2233SW looks like dwarf beside it. Hmm will try to post some comparison pics later on.

I find the U2412M very bright compared to my 2233SW ._.

I need to get the calibration right first, might post it later on :S.

Or is it my 2233SW too old already, the CCFL already not as bright.

Crap, was calibrating both my monitors with the Color Eyes Display Pro with Spyder3Express sensor... can't seem to match both monitors .

Is this normal? :S.

Oh well, don't tell me need to pay another RM899 to satisfy my dual monitor setup >_<

I'm using ColorEyes Display Pro and using Spyder3Express as my sensor. That software supports multi monitor. So basically I calibrated both monitors but it doesn't match. Hmm, might be some thing I'm missing out.

Also, I have tried to set each as default monitor then calibrate one at a time. Both don't look similar either. (Turning on 1 at a time only..)

Gonna check the detailed settings when I get back home, might be the black and white settings issue perhaps. I left them at default on the program... or maybe its the Gamma... CEDP runs on L* instead of 2.2...

Single monitor I think the DELL is doing good . After calibrate it removes a slight pinkish tint on mine. More saturated blues. Tried to capture on my camera but can't see differences :S. Now at office , eager to go back home to try matching both panels LOL!

I calibrated my U2412M with Spyder3Express. There's no auto calibrate :S. U2412M isn't factory calibrated like the higher range.

Hmm, it should show differences actually. But I don't really know... it shows differences, but not as obvious as the one you view with your eyes.

Well, its my first e-IPS LED monitor after all, build quality is pretty good. I like the stand too. I'm satisfied with my money spent for this U2412M! But, how well does it compare to other IPS I don't really know.. but at RM899 you get 1920x1200, 24", LED backlight and e-IPS (6-bit + FRC).. why not? .

23" vs 24", 1920x1080 vs 1920x1200, CCFL vs LED. I would pay the differences for U2412M judging from those alone . Have not used a U2311H before, but from the spec on Dell website, seems to be similar with U2412M.

Sigh, now it makes me wanna grab another unit! >_< Early worm gets eaten by the bird

Anyways, a simple comparison between the Dell U2412M and Samsung 2233SW,

Side by side,


Bottom view,


Right view,


Left view,


Top view,


Backlight bleeding,

Both were calibrated to 140cd/m2 using ColorEyes Display Pro via Spyder3Express puck. Its not as obvious as in the photo compared to actual, but had to crank up the exposure to show.
--> Am being curious, yellow cast on the Dell instead white like on the 2233SW?

Continued,

White point,

Somehow, I calibrated both to D65 (6500K) and 140cd/m2 for white point but then... both looks different

My iPad 2 which also uses IPS panel, calibrated with SpyderGallery via Spyder3Express has similar white compared to the dell.


Image comparison, the iPad's brightness is not calibrated to 140cd/m2 like the other 2... i only adjust roughly similar that's all.


More images from different angles,

I thought this is quite dark already. Oh well, if I use the same exposure as first pic, its pitch black. Can't see anything.

Just to understand, the IPS clouding happens when there is light bleeding? Or even without light bleeding also have?

I'm using D700 + 16-35 f/4 for these photos.

Photo of the monitor itself? I'll see what I can do later when I get back

After using U2412M for a few days, totally loving it! 1920x1200 is better for me as per compared to 1920x1080 of my other monitor. More vertical space to work with

Kinda busy today >_<, no time to take the pics la bro... aiseh yours arriving soon isn't it? Help Lexus65 with his request too .

You can also view it under the Special promotions on the U2412M's column too. Seriously felt cheated ._. dayum~!

Yeah, I paid RM899 for it. To those interested in upgrading their monitor to 24" this is a good buy!

OT : Gonna try to see if Dell can refund me RM100 or not... no harm trying I guess
