Nice review.
To me, the glossy stand for the Samsung ensures that it is a dust magnet. I do have a samsung monitor with a base like that and since my table is shorter, in terms of depth, i usually put my keyboard very near to the base and sometimes it scratches it, causing it to loose it's gloss. I don't think this could happen to the Dell Monitor.

Finally a good review to show my friend who think Samsung > all, thanks alot!

for potocop lover & color lover

u2311h>samsung

btw nice review bro..

Many thanks for the review but can make your picta bit smaller or not?

Thanks

Sorry about the pictures size, but they should be fine with most monitors unless you're using a very small monitor. Perhaps you might want to get a bigger screen?

wow bro , really nice review u got there , so detailed XD

Nice explanation.Moderator should pin it up.It will a very good guide for those who wants to buy a new monitor and newbie in IT field.

WHY YOU NO MAKE THIS TERED BEFORE I BUY MY SAMSUNG????

I used TN panels since I started using LCDs so I don't feel the pain... YET

When did you bought your LCD?IIRC the U2311H was famous here since August 2010.

Nice work.

Although I think you should host the images elsewhere, instead of photobucket, like imageshack, so that the photos will always be available. Whenever I come across dead image links on forums, most of the time I find they usually were hosted on photobucket.

Nicely done review there..as a user of the Dell U2311H myself I can say that it the best monitor currently till Samsung releases AMOLED monitors

Low possibility. Even Galaxy Tab didn't get a AMOLED screen.

I find that imageshack is the worst imagehoster. So far I still haven't got any of my photos on photobucket deleted for apparent reason yet .

what about flickr? The photographer's choice

You may never know what the future products might come out..of course not talking about few years but maybe at least less than a decade from now
Who knows that Samsung managed to find a way to make AMOLED cheaper to produce and make a 23" monitor for RM600-1000..

Imageshack was good..used to use them till they screw up their hosting policy..cannot post full picture and only thumbnail etc
I use imgur way better than Imageshack now..

Nice review. I just ordered a new LCD yesterday.... luckily it is the Dell U2311H!!!

You should included a side-by-side comparison (e.g. comparison table) of their technical specs too.

Request granted . Hopefully it's big enough.

and mayb compare with the new LG IPS monitor? 4get which model ady, but IIRC its around rm500++
This can clear confusion and help forumer to decide which monitor to go. heck, still saving $$$ for another 2 U2311H

Anybody willing to sponsor the LG IPS monitor and a better camera? .

Havent had a single ips panel that doesnt have burn in issue

Didn't know that ImageShack changed their policy. I'll go with Imgur then.

What is the burn-in problem?

Long runs with static image

U2311H and P2770 user reporting in,

yes the information are true, my Samsung has terrible viewing angle especially vertical view

From what i heard from reviews LG IPS monitor has bad angle view.

never knew there were 4 usb port until i read ur review.. i always thought there were only 2 at the side.. LOL.. using 1, n love it much compared to my old samsung..

I m looking at the monitor very straight side to side viewing angles not bad liao

I heard that if you have too many power-consuming devices plugged into all of the USB ports the U2311H has, it might cause the screen to flicker. I'm not sure if that's true or not but I dare not try..

*Update*

Updated and added two extra photos that shows the U2311H's ability to tilt from the center to the left or right without requiring you to move the stand along with the screen.

2) Updated conclusion

Hah, my friend HP 30" IPS panel already starting burn,
color turns yellow.

You should mention the backlight bleeding issue. It is an e-IPS so something had to be sacrificed

Here's mine taken in complete darkness with black background.

I find that facebook is the most reliable (small) image hoster

Will update soon to see if there really is a backlight bleeding issue with mine .

*Edit - Yes, mine also has backlight bleeding. . I haven't gotten any problems with it yet though.

This post has been edited by TDUEnthusiast: May 1 2011, 12:18 PM

you mean softening your image and ripped off EXIF call reliable ?
use www.imgur.com better a bit

Just like the shots, you'll need to have a black background to see it. Its fine in most cases but watching movies or playing a horror game where there's a lot of gloomy dark scenes, it can be seen and sometime distracting.

I haven't ran into any distractions with the backlight bleeding yet even when watching movies. It's a good information though. Thanks for the reminder.

It's not noticeable, unless you put a black screen on in a dark room. I knew about the backlight bleeding before I bought this monitor, but it has not affect the image quality in any way.

for me bclight bleed not disturb anything during watching movie or do anything with bg black...

Yes it is a nice monitor.

but in terms of viewing angle, i find it no difference when i compare my u2311H with my benq G222HDL side by side, Color reproduction wise I find BenQ is doing similar job also.

i would say BenQ monitor is quite good also. I still buy Dell becos they ship to my house XD

Added on May 1, 2011, 5:46 pmp/s: and seriously Samsung LCD monitor is the worst monitor i had compare with Dell and BenQ, somehow Samsungs color is yellowish.

==No offence to Samsung fan ==

Oh well, it's a placebo effect.

Because it has an IPS panel, which purportedly produces better color qualities and accuracy over TN panels, people will assume that it's always better at everything over TN panels no matter what.

I do agree that for some things I don't notice a difference between my dad's monitor and mine, but for most I do, and enjoy . It varies between individuals anyway, some might not notice any difference at all, while some might notice a slight difference, and some will see a major difference.

someone can help me??? i wanna buy a new lcd.. i got 2 choice.. first samsung S23A35OH and dell u2311h. which one is better ???

Pardon me, but what on earth is S23A35OH? I googled that, but unfortunately two results were only found; both of them aren't understandable. You could use my review to decide on whether the U2311H is good or otherwise, and head to any shops to look for the Samsung monitor that you've chosen.

sorry. this is the link
samsung

Well, unfortunately I can't say how good or bad is the Samsung S23A350H, really. I've never used it before.

Again, perhaps you would like to head to any shop that has this monitor and see how does it perform. I wouldn't exactly recommend trusting Samsung's so called magic viewing angle though. The Samsung BX2231 has the same feature advertised, and the viewing angle is just as bad as any other TN panels I have used or seen before.

oohh.. ok2. btw thanks for that advise. =)

For Graphic designers who perfer 100% True Color RGB... Get Samsung BX2370. X)

And why is that?

Mine is U2311H.

It perfects my L-2000 desktop! Nevermind the ugly look of U2311H, I think it should be that way.

I've been using Samsung B2430H, and I regret buying Samsung because of yellowish color and bad color reproduction. It does not even support DPMS; when computer shutdown/sleep, the monitor still showing No Signal. Its irritating.

Considering to buy another U2311H for my video & graphic multitasking jobs and also FSX

That sounds very tempting indeed. . As for the U2311H's looks, I prefer my monitor(s) to look that way. I love the industrial-look .

In addition, I can rotate U2311H monitor 90 degree with the built-in VESA mount on my desktop chassis (or with original stand). Because of the wide viewing angle, the image quality is still as good as in horizontal mode.

No point to rotate a TN monitor especially Samsung with the marketing 'Magic Angle' technology. Color shifting is really bad.

sorry guys.. can ask one question.. dell u2311 can support hd video?? i mean since that lcd dont hve hdmi port.. can the lcd play 720p or 1080p???

^ I believe u2311 is 1920 x 1080

o' rly? My backlight is depreciating and the colour became warmer that I look at a fresh new IPS panel and I could not stand the colour of my poor IPS. *Not to mention when I switch on the LCD the first time after a long time of hiatus, it shows burn in LOL! Until the LCD warm out completely*

HDMI is not necessary for 720p or 1080p. D-SUB (aka VGA), DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort an all handle 720p and 1080p content. And as the U2311H has a screen resolution of 1920x1080, it can handle 1080p content natively.


Same here. I have two IPS panels and the older one has a lot warmer colours. Very annoying. Does that happen for TN panels as well?

Love the fact that the Dell can be shifted into portrait mode. Works really well when having long documents.

lg is ips panel supplier for dell, so?


because it is a TN panel with pixel twist control, not samsung great PVA stuffs..

not sure if serious..

ccfl tube is aged, or problem with power inverter
still can use manual control to push more blue & up brightness

I just got my U2311H installed to my laptop today. I have a question I'm seeing wavy lines on my screen. Is it suppose to have some flicker or is this not supposed to happen. If you look on a dark background you can see the vertical lines. On my background if one looks really close can see the vertical lines.

All LCDs will age. That's a fact.

I tested on another laptop it's fine so I'm guessing it's my laptop. My U2311H is brand new just open

Kindly tell me both monitor tune.

just noticed this in the garage

didnt they they were selling these

i'd get a benq VW2420 over the dell and samsung anytime on overall gaming

anyone use display cable to link btw u2311h n ur gc?

may i know how is it compared to normal dvi cable?? any difference? or its the same?

hey guys can you tell me whether the DVI-D port in the back of the Dell U2311H is a male or female port.

It happens for most, if not all of the Dell U2311H .

This doesn't apply for the Dell U2311H. Many people have this issue and some might find it annoying. The users should get used to it soon though and won't notice the difference. Mine also has the same issue.

just received mine very bright n big

It is annoying when your one year old, RM1.7K, U2410 has warmer colours than the RM600 U2311H. And then there was the RM2.4K U2407 that had even more yellower colours. At least that one died a few months after its three year warranty expired.

110% NTSC colour gamut, factory calibrated, 12-bit colours means nothing if the colours become warmer after just a year. I have a few years older cap ayam LCDs that looks whiter. I'm quite torn between 16:9 vs 16:10, but I'm probably going to give in to 16:9 due to cost. Heck, I already did buy a 16:9 U2311H.

^ Yes. It is very annoying if the LCD you bought actually became warmer just 1 year later.

That's why even though my HP L3065 is bigger than my LP2475w, I still prefer to use LP2475w for primary monitor

You could set the brightness. I find that 70% of brightness with 65% of contrast and in Multimedia mode works pretty well for me.

ok, thx



how to connect usb upstream cable to laptop? anyone knw?

That's where you plug one end of the USB cable to. The other end goes into any of the available USB port(s) on your laptop .

opps , now open it only know, 1 is normal usb, another is dfren 1. thx again

This post has been edited by cheeshyan94: May 7 2011, 08:55 PM

no one uses display port cable on this monitor?

I suppose not many people are forced to use DP, like to enable Eyefinity. DP is superior to DVI and HDMI, but you're not going to see a difference on a single monitor. If you can see a difference, you're probably also sensitive enough to calibrate the colours without hardware assistance or there is a hardware failure somewhere.

Well, It says It all, It has pure 100% true color.. Just as the same color as a Mac can produce. Thats why Its suitable for Graphic Designer to get the specific color and printing quality they desire X)

A lot of things are said on the product pages of displays,but not all of them are true.Take for example contrast ratios that are >9000 ,it sure is a load of crap since LCDs can't get that high a contrast ratio,OLED or Plasma may be able to do it but not LCD.Reading properly done reviews [not user reviews like the ones on Newegg that says "It's bright and colourful" ] would give you a much better picture of how the display really stacks up.

this review helped me to decide for the u2711. very informative.

Just got my U2311H just now .. hmm, why is it so bright .. my old 19" Dell US has warmer colours .. need to re-adjust and give the same warmer colours and the old one ..

You can set the brightness by using the buttons located on the right of the screen, above the power button. It might be hard to see as it blends pretty well with the whole of the monitor.

Thanks .. will try that .. yup, somehow the controls are blended well into the frame.

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.

sorry tumpang thread for a while, i juz wanna ask those who have purchased the U2311H from dell, how long did they take to deliver it? coz i plan to use it on the 3rd of June as i should be gettin my rig then.

Forget already, but I think I got mine under 10 days

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.
