i never heard any lcd with native 10000:1 contrasts ratio

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

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

it still too new, i guess they want to clean u2311h stock first , after few month it will priced as u2311h pricing

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

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
