Nice, TN panel alone is okay but once I started to use my U2311H on dual screen with the TN panel, it looks really inferior. Also I use the U2311H to read manga at ease, Love it!!

Has anyone use this monitor using vga cable? is there any different in terms of picture quality. i bought one last year and using it with my laptop through dvi>hdmi converter. thinking of buying another one as a present to someone but her laptop only has vga

i use 1.5m vga cable, and i cant find any differences of picture quality between vga and hdmi, guess you can find noises if the vga cable is too long

maybe u2311h use a great adc (analog to digital) converter, so the picture quality between analog and digital signal are nearly the same

no..i can't see their diff..

Can someone explain again why we went DVI, if VGA does the job? for increased cable length?
HDMI - integrated audio
Display port - ?

For an explanation on DVI and VGA, here you go :

Wiki on Display Port.

Why DVI?

DVI vs VGA

Displayport

Thankyou.
I got two monitor 19" SR on the same table (for 1 Desktop and 1 docked laptop). Horizontally no more table space. Vertically half taken by 2 large keyboards.

Want to add a U2311H into the mix. Mount the U2311H above the two 19"?
Not sure if it makes practical sense.

Thanks for the link TDUEnthusiast explaining Display Port.

To my understanding the U2311H has a display port right?

I have the following graphics card MSI N580GTX Lightning which has 1x Display Port

Just want to know does the U2311H include the Display Port cable.

I have the following stated as included Dell original package included: Power Cord, Display Cable (Is this Display Port cable?), VGA, DVI, USB

I'll need to get my display port cable since it's in another state by this weekend & hopefully my machine ready by then

Thanks again TDUEnthusiast & the rest LYN users very helpful.

Sadly enough, the 2311H does not come with a display port cable. It comes with a dvi cable (and a vga cable? forgot already).

At least that's what I got.

Yes, the U2311H doesn't come with a display port cable included, only a DVI cable and a VGA cable which is pre-attached to the monitor.

Yup TDUEnthusiast I can confirm your right. Just checked got USB & DVI cable no display port. Just like LCD TV no HDMI cable these monitors also don't want to include it extra cost. Cheapskates!

I will have to buy it from outside haiz

You could try getting the display port cable from Moderno . I believe it's being sold for around RM140 or so.

Omfg my jaw dropped looking at that price RM140. I was thinking max RM60 double that

There might be other people who are selling the Display Port cables at a lower price. You should try looking for it around the Garage Sales section. Truthfully, the prices for certain things at ModernoPC are slightly unreasonable.

good job bro..

I've tried using display port cable before with u2311h as my laptop comes with one.
However, got problem. My laptop won't switch on if i plug in the cable. So i have to remove the cable first, switch on the laptop only then plugin the cable.
Another problem while i'm using the cable is when i put windows 7 on sleep mode, it won't wake up from it, instead it crash. Have to remove dp cable, only then can switch on laptop
I've read somewhere in the dell forum, few people got same problem. Not sure what's the reason
So i revert back using hdmi>dvi cable..

can this monitor play in 4:3 format?

like auto configure black bar at the side and does it have pop up message when not in native resolution?
