i normally using pc and ps3 at the same time.. so this monitor can switch from pc to ps3 (vice versa)?

for 4;3 format, u need to change the monitor setting because the only setting are fill (16:9) and 4:3 and there is no auto scale depending on resolution

Well.. Unfortunately the U2311H does not have a HDMI port, which means you will have to use a converter e.g from DVI -> HDMI converter.

great review! thumbs up!

Another method to get any monitor to handle non-native resolutions is to use your GPU's drivers to maintain the aspect ratio.

Yeah,you can do that.Connect your PC to the VGA/DP port and the PS3 to the DVI port.You can switch it on the fly through the OSD.

very informative review bro. Now i'm torn between U23 and a LED27 mon...

nice review..
which i should get?

DELL U2311H
or
BENQ G222 HDL

for graphic design?

The G222HDL is not suited for your needs,the colour reproduction is as good and as accurate as the eIPS ones like the U2311H.There's also gamma shifting if you move your head vertically away from the optimal position directly in front of the display.

so, i should go for U2311H instead
time for windows shopping

If you literally meant windows shopping then it's not quite possible for the U2311H since it's not sold in physical shops [or any monitor from Dell's Ultrasharp line for that matter]

woot...so how to buy it
postage?

Online from Dell.com.my or the garage sales section

nice review !

I just got this U2311 last week.
I do notice about the 8ms response time, but lately my monitor took 1minutes+ to display.
Isn't normal or not ?
Any suggestion what i need to do ?
Do i need to call Dell for help since i still got 4years+ warranty?
Thanks in advance.

. It looks like yours is possibly faulty since it should only take a few seconds before the display shows up. One minute is too long and you should probably call up Dell Support and ask for a replacement.

Hi, for those who bought this monitor from dell.com, can I ask how long did it take for the monitor to arrive at your doorstep?

Thanks

Edit: opsss someone asked the same question already. sorry

u can try updating BIOS firmware, mobo chipset driver, and video driver too.

I posted my quick feedback on Del's website, so I thought i'd share it here, highly satisfied. Quick delivery, no defects, easy set up, and most excellent displays

5/5

Title:
Most excellent e-IPS panel, no dead pixels even!

Product Uses:
web browsing, office productivity, graphics editing & adobe photoshop/lightroom, watching videos/movies, gamingReview:

At the time of writing, this is/has been the best LCD you can get in tems of the value for money you pay for it since its release over a year ago. You get high panel quality, contrast/brightness, excellent colour & gamut accuracy and reproduction, viewing angles, acceptable response time and sturdy built quality, superior compared to all those Samsung/BenQ/Acer/ViewSonic etc LCD displays you get out there at high street IT malls such as Low Yatt.

Sure, it follows Dell's traditional boxy square design, however, if you take display quality over an aesthetically sexy Samsung, this is for you. It may not have an HDMI port, however, it has 4 USB ports, which IMHO is more important for those needing to work with plenty of USB devices from their desktop PC/workstation, instead of merely using it to connect it to PS3. If that was the case, i'd recommend looking at conventional LCD TVs.

As this is an e-IPS LCD, it has excellent viewing angles and truer colour compared to all those (surprisingly more expensive) TN panels of the same size. As for the slightly slower 8ms response time inherent in this Dell UltraSharp panels, I have no issues and noticed no ghosting, even while gaming.

For those who complained about dead pixels, I represent the many who may have purchased this Dell U2311H, rarely posting when they are satisfied with their displays. It's typical only those with defective hardware will post and complain. I tested mine and it revealed zero dead pixels. The Dell sales rep, who was very helpful, assured me that if I were to test my LCD on 1-2 days of arrival, and to find any dead pixels, I would be able to return to Dell for a one-to-one exchange. My consignment even arrived 3 business days including from the first day of order.

So my advice to anyone who has doubts, I would highly recommend this LCD. Just make sure you test it upon receiving it. Actually, the dead pixel issue even exists in other brands and also displays in notebooks; however, it's up to the buyer to ensure testing upon receiving it or obtaining it from high street shops/malls, and exchange immediately upon defect detection

I got the same problem as yours. Switch off and on the main power, (not the blue power button) it'll start normally.

I want to send to RMA but it'll cost time. Also there are risk to get cosmetic damage since what I have now 99.99% beautiful if not because of the power problem.

Sleep function works nicely unlike my previous Samsung B2430H. Perhaps won't buy Samsung after I bought Dell.
