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.

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.

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? hmm.gif

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 tongue.gif

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, 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 tongue.gif

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 hmm.gif

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.

I have set the monitor from AUTO to DVI input so that it will look for DVI everytime it turned on.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm still took about 40 seconds to turn on hmm.gif

Now I can't set to auto. The monitor show Locked rclxub.gif


Added on March 15, 2011, 9:10 pmIt seems I had this similar problem

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HI5bazK7FE

The menu button laggy after using it a while. To overcome this, just turn off and on at the wall plug. Then after that the button responds normally and YES it can turn on immediately after 3 secs turning off using the power button.

Weird bug or flaw.

Never realized/encountered that before. biggrin.gif

BTW bro,last time you said that you've used a 20" Phillips LCD at work at you said it's good.How good is it actually compared to the U2311H?What's the exact model?
I'm looking for a 20" now and the ones i've seen are ..... shakehead.gif
*
The model is Phillips 201E with DVI/D-SUB with resolution of 1600x900. Bought it for Rm340 at Startec

The white level is acceptable and I did a simple tone test and the gradient looks smooth without banding. Because of the white level, grey color appears good and not bluish/yellowish on some monitor. I calibrated the monitor in Snow Leopard (because in windows too much blue).

I compared this monitor with Samsung B2430H actually. Then after I change to U2311H, I checked the white & grey is quite close and acceptable.

Samsung Shows See-Through LCD / Notebook Panel Prototypes
Friday, March 18, 2011 - by Ray Willington
Over the years, we've seen some pretty unusual notebook designs. There have been large ones, small ones and ones with tilting/swiveling screens. A few have even shipped with two LCDs, and Lenovo even created one with a slide-out LCD. But by and large, the general notebook design has remained constant over the years. Is it time for a major overhaul? Possibly, and Samsung Electronics may be the company leading the charge. At FPD China 2011, Samsung introduced and showcased a 14" see-though LCD panel. That's right: it's an LCD panel that you can see through.

It's obviously a prototype for now; Samsung's not ready to ship these in commercial products. But still, the idea is terrific, and if Samsung is investing the money in this idea, it's logical to think that we'd see them in retail products before too long. As of now, the prototype has a 1680x1080 resolution, and a white LED unit is installed on each of the four sides of the panel. Light from the outside takes the place of a backlight, which greatly increases battery life. While great for notebooks, Samsung envisions a future where these see-through LCDs are also used in larger panels.

The company showcased a 22" and 46" version, which are currently expected to be used as windowpanes or outdoor signs. In a perfect world, we'd love to see these in bathroom mirrors and possible for use as televisions. The best news of all is that Samsung is actually giving consumers a time frame to look forward to. Unlike many prototype devices, which are simply shown with no expected date of commercialization, Samsung had this to say on this particular product: "We are planning to commercialize them for one of those applications in or after the third quarter of 2011 (from July to September 2011)." Here's hoping it doesn't cost and arm and a leg when it ships!

I am using Dell P2311H and this model should have pivot feature included right? But, When I tried to turn my monitor 180 degree to 90 degree, it just refuse to move...

So, I am wondering whether I got the wrong info about my monitor or I am doing something wrong pivoting the monitor.

From 0 degree to 90 degree (clock wise)? I hope you can try harder especially new unit usually lazy to move tongue.gif

Unfortunately no. You can only buy it from either Dell Online, and from the Garage Sales section. Or perhaps you could travel to Midvalley as I heard there's a Dell showroom there hmm.gif.

Don't bother to go to Midvalley's Dell showroom. You're wasting your time to find them selling monitor there. I've been searching there with no success and had an online chat with Dell's representative, they said their monitor can't be purchased from showroom.

Just search in the Garage Sales.

Have you considered buying three U2311H? Cheaper than a single 27", more pixels and more rugged (if one monitor develops bad pixels, you could warranty it while using the other two monitors).

If you needed money, you can sell any one of them ... i think they are pretty hot monitor on sale now smile.gif

Horizontal span across more than 1 monitor is no longer supported in Win Vista and 7 because of several issues. If you are using Eyefinity or 3D surround will only work in 3D games in Vista or 7. YOu can google for more detail

guys how do you set the display option for games when using per say a 20" wide monitors???

what options to watch for/on/off??and what would be the best resolution?
*
usually a 20 inch monitor supports 1600x900 (16:9 ratio) or 1680x1050 (16:10).

Depending on your hardware performance and type of game, if it is entry level, or mid-level you can set for lower to medium quality. Usually anti aliasing should be tweaked lower.

You'll have to a bit experiment it yourself.
