benq not release its va panel lcd yet?
oh my, looks like i have no choice but to buy dell ultrasharp
im prefer va panel than ips, because of better colour production and higher typical contrast ratio

if u want cheap, i guess i can recommend toshiba 24ps1 link(full hd panel with led backlit) lcd tv as monitor. Check it out on senheng shop , can confirm its using ips display (since its cheap, i guess they use e-ips, and there is no trailing when touching the panel)

p.s - sorry for recommending lcd tv for 24 inch display, bcoz the only ips/va offering are only dell u2410 and benq ew2420 and vw2420h (which both benq lcd are no availability yet in local market)

the cheapest i found sell by lyn forumer kevinc66 for rm888, ya its expensive than normal monitor, but with led backlit, tv tuner, hdmi and speaker, i guess its worth it.
But there is no guarantee it will support multiple resolution like normal monitor.
resolution support for vga only 800x600,1024x768,1280x1024,1280x768,1360x768, others may come out with weird scalling and cropping, even i have problem to use 720p resolution on vga for my lcd tv
for hdmi, guess support common resolution 480i/p,576i/p,720p,1080i/p
from quick viewing in shop, the video (i guess 720p video) play nicely and great color, just the screen are too small for home viewing view angle are similar to other lcd tv except samsung small lcd tv (<32 inch) which just use tn panel
no, displayport are only for monitor right now for me, it just an hdmi without audio. If want to use, then displayport to hdmi adapter are required

why u need led by the way? ccfl backlit produce better image for the same panel compared to edge lit led panel. The only good led were rgb led, which you can only find on dell laptop only. u will find out that great lcd monitor such as u2711h, u2410 didnt use edge lit led backlit

actually consumer level product for dell looks pretty stylish,maybe to cover the picture quality flaw
got my u2311h, colour are not as accurate as samsung va panel monitor(samsung 214t,which comparable to u2410 level maybe) but really satisfy for its price
the only complain is noticeable grainy screen and too bright(with 0 brightness)

grainy screen are normal for screen with antiglare coating, nothing serious here, maybe i look it too near(+-30cm) thats why noticeable
but i still recommend u2311h to other, i can give 9.7/10 for rating

hdmi can always been converted to dvi-d or displayport as long as u have the required adapter and monitor that using hdcp, audio can always get from optical,composite,3.5mm jack,just requires lots of cable and adapter
u sure it takes 40 sec,mine like 5 seconds only(viewing dell logo), the revision for monitor are A01

manufacturer have acceptable defective pixel count, they can use the panel if there is 1-2 dead pixel (stuck pixel are unacceptable), unless the panel use for professional class lcd like u3011h

finally other manufacturer that release cheap ips/va panel lcd monitor,hope to see tn panel die in shame

viewsonic also provide ips lcd panel,but expensive than u2311h, benq also stated on their malaysian website, but hardly shop sells benq product, samsung also have in their 2333tn, but their colour and connectivity are total disappoinment, hope acer and lg could follow

have anyone have problem connecting u2311h with xbox360, i have mine, sometime its assume xbox360 doesnt send any signal, but when removing and replug back the dvi cable, the signal comes (xbox360 restarts)

you mean the large screen monitor with precise colour for professional work
try check on samsung site, guess u need to make order directly from manufacturer (the price gonna be so high)

panasonic also provide professional tv monitor ,but they recommend plasma coz most of them are real 12bit pixel with ditthering(up to 6144 gradiation/231 billions colour)

Added on April 6, 2011, 11:57 amit actually usb hub with 4 port, u can your peripheral easily by just plugging on the monitor, but if you turn off the monitor, the usb hub will have no power at all

then buy small lcd tv, they can serve as monitor
u can take toshiba ps1 or samsung 22" lcd tv

the con of lcd was too bright (due to backlight), some eye are too sensitive with bright light (including me which using minimum brightness on any lcd devices), and yes i prefer any phosphor base display rather than lcd, actually the radiation are within the safe level,and we human are exposed to many radiation in the modern world (e.g microwave based communication). As long as your eye feels comfortable(rather it is dim or bright), its fine. As for my assumption, many eye problem happens because of too much dependent on light causing pupil(anak mata) not use to dark environment, the eye also need to practice, thats why god create night and day

use HDMI Female to Mini HDMI Male Adapter/Converter, and then use hdmi male to dvi male cable
if your pc have dvi, why dont u use dvi, u wont have any loss of image quality when using dvi compared to hdmi, and u didnt require any high speed dvi/hdmi/displayport for u2311h since the monitor doesnt support deep colour(30bit) and 120hz

its using 6bit+dithering panel, i guess u2311h still the king for bang in the buck
the lg ips236v are just like tn panel with wide angle view

for colour accuracy, ccfl > edge led
only led win at power consumption, plus u2311h are already too bright (at 0% brightness)
for future, displayport > hdmi
0i choose 8 bit panel over 6bit+ditthering panel
just know that u2311h are also 6bit+ditthering panel thats the reason why u2311h is so cheap but i already use it, so just enjoy
the old Dell 2209WA are true 8bit panel

but too bad both monitor are not pre-calibrate,so you have to calibrate it with professional calibrator to get near those value
its actually 96.6% for u2311h panel, 72% for ntsc, for lg ips monitor, i guess its little lower (thanks to wled)
but samsung saying that their new pls display are true 10bit panel

but for me, colour that sync with printer are not fun to watch, not so vibrant

if u can stand having a monitor with face mirror, guess it will be better
pls display are only a replacement for their va panel, guess we can see affordable big pls on a few year..
samsung also mention that their pls screen are inferior than their super amoled

actually samsung mention that their 24" pls panel in may 2011, its 8bit panel plus ditthering
it will be 15% cheaper than competing ips with nearly the same colour production (maybe s-ips)
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news_archive/23.htm#samsung_pls
its seems that all pls display will be using wled backlight

no, but acer will plan their va panel lcd, hope its affordable

whatever it is, lg still get our money coz both monitor use lg panel
come samsung, release your affordable va panel now
