U2311H has been remove from Dell's website

since the newer 2312hm retains 2311h's IPS but changed to the led backlight instead of 2311h's ccfl backlight. which one is superior? 2311h or its latter, the 2312hm

U2312HM had a bad review T.T ...and U2311H has been removed from Dell website while 2nd hand reseller mark up kao2.

what choice do i have now

Bad review? Links pls.

Pls re-look at U2412M, checkout the owners comments in > Lowyat.NET -> Computers -> Hardware -> THE LCD Monitor Thread v11.00

What bad reviews are you talking about? Most of the complaints I see are the nagging argument of over anti-glare coating that caused so much heated debate over the all of LG and its OEM's IPS monitors

bad reviews? do link please

What bad review? Sos pls

im using dell u2311h..abt 5-6 months old..
recently got few tiny dot2 thing on my screen..
some dark color,some not very dark color..
dont know whether it is dead pixel o not..
how to know is it really dead pixel?..
o can it be a dust or something inside the screen?..

usually dead pixel are usually dust that is trapped on the panel(usually between backlight and panel), its pretty hard for all rgb subpixel in a pixel doesnt lit anymore for creating true dead pixel. My laptop have lots of dead pixel, but all dead pixel didnt have square in shape. Manufacturer still acknowledge those dusts as dead pixel as long as it visible

sub pixel doesnt lid =dead pixel
trapped dust = dead pixel
sub pixel always lid = stuck pixel

so in my case,means im eligible for the warranty rite?..
from what i can see,there r abt 7-8 dots dat i can find..

it should be enough,try to ask dell for warranty, those dust are due to bad quality control(QC), even mine got ant moving around thru backlight, but i didnt go for rma because will get refurbish model, plus my u2311h have perfect pixel
