luck + fate

is asus ml239h really an undestroyable monitor?

Have a look at these discussion.

And this which I found on that topic as well.


Aside from the ugly stupid frame bezel, otherwise could be same as other E-IPS panel.
And no DVI... sux

Actually I have a friend who want to buy u2412m cause I recommend that LCD to him, however, the 8ms response time is worrying him for ghosting issues. So that's why I ended up asking here

So I guess I introduce other monitor to him then. Thanks all!

Hi Guys,

I know this is a lil slow for me since i got my Dell U2412m bout a week ago..well.. Just wanna share some unboxing pictures and my thought on this monitor so far.

Well..I received the package last Friday (19/8/2011) and it arrived in 2 boxes...1 is the LCD panel itself and the other is the power cord.



As you can see, the small box packs the power cord



and just to make sure that i got the right box..



I opened up the box and was quite pleased at how the packaging was as the foam was thick and protected the panel well during transportation. Thumbs up for Dell..





And i must say...the panel is really huge...look how big it is compared to my Apple wireless keyboard



Unboxing the stand was pretty good and boy was the stand solid..I myself am surprised at how sturdy it was...The best part is that you can swivel at almost any direction



not to mention the idiot accessory that you gotta get when you have a macbook pro at rm99 it ain't cheap man...



Putting my LCD on the table and sorting out the cable mess..



And finally (after weeks later) its finally complated!!

getting mine tomorrow.. order on 23/8.. quite fast indeed..

using it to pair with my macbook pro using hdmi adapter (RM60+).. thinking of buying mini displayport to displayport adapter for RM91 at http://estore.circuitassembly.com/products...pter-Cable.html

but will just use hdmi at the moment until got extra budget.. hehe.. can't wait for tomorrow!

Just curious bro..the hdmi converter only displays out video or does it include in audio as well? If it has audio also...i dont mind getting it too...

Probably video only unless you have the sound bar... but is there one yet for the 2412M?

Is there an input for soundbar on the U2412M?

how's the U2412M performance?
any better than U2410/U2311H?

Unfortunately U2412M does not have any audio output.

U2412M is on par with U2311H while cannot compare to U2410 as U2410 is on another level of panel.

It's better than the U2311H because the U2412M has more pixel and it's LED!

Yeap, that's why. I haven't seen any audio output.

Waiting for mega discount for U2311H when the successor arrives

so picture quality wise is better for movie and games?


itchy thoughts to get one just to show kpop MV as 2nd display...

Watched couple of 1080p movies on the U2412M, pretty good or at least I'm satisfied la . I don't have a higher range LCD to compare to anyways.

Movie will definitely benefit from the smoother gradient due to better colors output and dark area will appear better.
Gaming wise will see what you're looking for, if color wise then of course it's better than most TN, but hardcore FPS gamer will find the panel response is slightly blurry.

^ Maybe Hardcore gamers with super fast eye/brain visual processing.

yes.. mine has arrived just now.... wait for 2 days.. very fast..

Yup no audio output from U2412M!

The irony is there is a 12v output for the sound bar but where to get the connecting cable?

i fail.. i thought it comes with hdmi.. only got displayport, dvi and vga.. now must buy displayport cable for my macbookpro..

hehe...
