State your preferred budget and usage.
You want it cheap? Or you can afford RM899?
What do you want from the monitor? Professional graphics works? Movie and games? Or just documents and web surfing?

Well for graphical works I would recommend you wait for better U2412M review, and see if the LED + IPS can beat U2311H in wide color range, and of course, viewing angle, etc.
If you can't wait, I would recommend U2311H for its already proven.

Wait for someone to post review links if any, or do a search (google, bing, whatever) on the web on any slight details, since it just release not too long ago, it'll take sometimes for the review to come out, 3~4 weeks at least.

Edited! Was typing while eating nasi kandar just now lol.

Btw, i personally would choose U2412M than U2311H. Greater and more features with a nice price tag, lower than RM1k yo!

Well done bro, RM855 is another lowest point ive seen so far.

As for response time, u might wanna refer to this:

Response time is a tricky thing to measure, because marketing usually doesn't tell you everything you need to know.

At 8ms you're going to get about the same performance as an LCD TV. Generally, this is good: unless you're superman you're not going to see any ghosting, and tearing usually won't happen (and if it does you can also limit the games frame rate).

Here's what you can expect from various LCD response times:

12 ms or more - You're going to see a lot of ghosting with high speed images. The higher the response rate the more ghosting you're going to notice.
8ms - ghosting is virtually eliminated, although you may experience ghosting on lower end model LCDs.
5ms - ghosting is eliminated.
2ms - this is actually a marketing trick for 5ms LCD screens, although performance will generally be better than screens advertised as 5ms.

Ehh? I didn't know can actually do that . Already paid RM899 for mine sigh...

Yes Ultrasharp which is using IPS panel is generally better than those TN panels used by non ultrasharp models.

IPS generates FAR more accurate colours and displaying FAR more colours. A good IPS is capable of displaying over a billion of colours as compared to TN which is about 256k or so. moreover IPS has wider viewing angle that u could retain 100% consistent colour/brightness at any angle. Thats why price is a lil bit more expensive
Ahh ure too fast! Nvm lah next time u should know what to do already, ask for discount or nego.

Oh well, lesson learnt. Next time try to nego with Dell before buying . Btw, that means calling them up? Any number as reference so I can use it in future? Or maybe when I purchase second unit

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.

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

H-IPS for DELL is very expensive. A whopping RM1699 for U2410 model compared to the U2412M only RM899

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?

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

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?

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.

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.

I saw the review on this Sypder 3 Express and it was not meant for more than 1 monitor calibration so I don't think it works in your condition.
Sorry to say that paying more = more options and multi-monitors support, I think it should be around RM300 more, right?

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!

Which one you guys think better?
Dell U2311H v LG IPS236V

I always like Dell cause of the mount and stand they come with.. adjustable>good looks

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.
