hey the usb port is used for what? sorry for my noobnest

usb hub

is the bleeding light really bad? cause i find bleeding lights very irritating. Heck i even sold my Nokia E72 because one of the reason was bleeding lights all over the keyboard n had nokia fix it 3 times with out success.. Shows how much i hate bleeding lights. Interested in Dell U2311H thanks to some forumers recommending it to me.

what kind of backlight does U2311 uses? I check out Dell website, it didnt say it is LED..

nobody said it is LED.
It use ccfl.

If you can wait till Q4 this year, then probably they'll come out with WLED (White LED) backlight eIPS, which some people are not fond to have. Hopefully the color isn't as bad as some people described... *pray hard* xD;;

OH? have they fix the color issue on WLED already?
Got link on this?

WLED has been an issue for very long time, which is why even the top-end H-IPS/S-IPS still using CCFL as their primary backlight (Apple exception).
If the WLED is the LG's (can't remember the model, lazy to flip back), kindly need some people to compare the LG one to the current Dell, cause Dell's current IPS is manufactured by LG, is the LG's IPS manufactured by itself as well?

to me, i dont feel that it is necessary to wait for the LED backlight version if one is in need of a monitor and LED backlight is not a must have feature when i buy a monitor.

LED back light is kind of weak to get good penetration on e-ips panel iianm; so far only apple's LED ips panel which does not gives very good result in power consumption (lots of led to get the job done right) or quality

Hi,
Great review. Cleared all my doubts as Im thinking to get either Samsung or this. Definitely this.
Is it possible to wall mount this monitor? and do you think theres gonna be a replacement model for this in the near future?

Yes. It is possible to mount this on the wall. You will need a 100MM Vesa mount.

As for any replacement models, I think there is, if I'm not mistaken, which would be the Dell U2312H.

Great review.

I think one of the pros of the U2311H is that is has a VESA mount. A lot of mainstream monitors these days don't seem to come with a VESA mount anymore.

received my u2711 last wednesday. the color reproduction is superd and in a totally different league compared to my old samsung t220 (actually not even worth comparing). i do not notice any bleeding but i was not really paying much attention to that. I was too busy testing out the dragon age 2, dawn of war 2 and civilization V with max settings.

Just wondering, why you opt for U2711H? For that price, you can go for tri-monitor set up with U2311H..
Cause, I feel that's more worth the value.. Though, I do believe U2711H is a better monitor since it's a TRUE IPS panel, not e-IPS.

i prefer a single larger monitor than tri-monitor setup (u2311h x 3) with borders in between due to the frames on the monitors. by the way, my work desk has limited space and i don't like it too crowded. i had uploaded the photos of my system in this thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1638975/+760 (look at post # 764).

Anyway, perhaps u feel it is better value for the money but for me, that is not a deciding factor. For me to spend that much of money, i think i'm no longer thinking whether it is value for money or not but rather, the satisfaction of owning one.

3 x u2311h will run at the resolution of 5760 x 1080. Even my hd6990 will be hard pressed to run at that resolution in some games (with everything maxed out) unless i add an extra hd6970 . I prefer to run at a resolution whereby i can max out everything, without have to worry about lagging and my graphic card can provide me with a smooth gaming experience and I can enjoy the best graphic quality the games can offer.

Hi Guys,jst wan to correct my impression on U2311H,as Im about to buy either U2311H or LG IPS236V,however recently i found this from dell website:
From the website shows a review that even 1 dot of dead pixel cannot claim warranty even with the premium panel,is that true? Im very interested,but because on delivery i cant guarantee that the product received is in perfect condition,jst to have some advice from forumers bout this,thanks alot.
