mine 1yr+ only...samsung 1yr warranty right ?

Samsung's monitor come with 3 years warranty if i'm not wrong...

It has been a while since I last lurk in here to find information about latest LCD

I need to get rid of my Dell ST2410 (TN) to replace it with an IPS panel monitor for my photography work. I have one currently, the HP LP2475w and it is no doubt a lovely screen.

I'm looking for some cheaper IPS but with decent colours as well. Any recommendation? I have seen Dell now offering U2410 and U2412M which both are IPS but at different price range? Anyone here care to share more about it? IPS got different grades also?

Basically the U2410 is using a much higher grade IPS compared to U2412M which is using E-IPS and economic / cheaper version of IPS panel. Don't get me wrong, it will look better than most TN panel but don't compare it with its expensive counterpart.

The U2412M has lesser input lag compared to the U2410 though. Anyways, most gamers who are looking for an IPS model swear by the U2410. If you're doing serious photography, the U2410 is the way to go for the best colour offered.

Ya.If you are gaming on the u2410, make sure to switch to "gaming mode".Will make it bearable somehow.
This also applies if you watch action movies.

The problems are mostly with fast motion pictures which gets blurry.

Yeah, I have noticed on the input part as I'll be taking HDMI into consideration since I'll be using the monitor for my PS3 too. However, as long as it support DVI, I think it shouldn't be a problem for me to get a HDMI to DVI cable.

I too have noticed in the spec that U2410 supports 1.07 billion colours and Color Gamut 110% (CIE 1976) while the U2412M supports 16.7 million colours and Color Gamut 82% (CIE 1976).

Since I'll only using this as secondary when I have the HP LP2475w, I'm considering taking U2412M as the U2410 is double up the price of it. Any bad comment on U2412M yet?

so far so good, not a prob

If only Dell has a 24 inch IPS panel with 16:9 ratio

Guys, i'm planning on getting the U2412m. The aspect ratio 16:10 bothers me alittle.

How are your movies playing on the screen? Do they look extremely stretched? Or the black bars are unbearable?

It's only 120 pixels of black bar, if you can't stand 16:10 resolution then the little brother U2312HM is your option.
And no, your movie won't stretch unless you stretch your display resolution (force 1080p), and you'll see black bar.
Some movies out there even has 2 huge black bar top and bottom on 1080p monitors so if that little black bar bothers you... I can't comment further.

Only black bars dont effect your movies

u can set in the media player either u want it to fit the screen or original scale.

I don't even notice them bars, and I usually watch movies with weird aspect ratios...

^bluray movie also usually use higher aspect ration than 16:9, thus u will see black bar at the bottom n top of the screen.

Which monitor can be compare to imac screen?
