i think if u use HDMI output, u need active HDMI to DP converter, else it wont work, i tried before. If DP to HDMI no problem. And HDMI to DP active converter aint cheap either.

Guys, I need recommendation for new monitor. It is actually for my mother. So no need fancy ports and beatiful display but size is important cause she can see clearly.

The requirements basically are:
1) 250~350 (not over 380)
2) As big as possible for the price range
3) Durable or come with long warranty duration

Samsung S22B150N led 21.5" 5MS - RM389 ?

I just take from viewnet price list http://www.viewnet.com.my/downloads/viewne...y_pricelist.pdf

Anyone know where can I get, DVI-I Male to Female Extension Cable?

The reason is, my radiator on the back of my PC, allows little space for DVI slot. Asus Rampage 4 Extreme has OC-Key. Due to that radiator, I can't fit my OC-Key.

Thanks

Urhh.. Polarz... I'm afraid your advice is misaligned a little, unless I'm wrong. Unless you have tried the HDMI-DP cable yourself personally, I think readers here should be a bit more wary from my own personal experience this weekend.

I went to pick up a noops cable HDMI-Displayport (CB-CA2251) - cannot work. noobs dont even list this product on their own website anymore (www.noops.asia).

Please be careful Lowyat readers - if your laptop is HDMI, safest bet is to HDMI-DVI to your DELL U24212M and not use the DisplayPort. RM75 blown on the cable for nothing. According websites out there, the HDMI-DP cable not bi-directional and this HDMI-DisplayPort is meant to work ONE WAY only : meaning your source is DP and the target monitor is HDMI.

Also wanna ask if you DELL U2412M owners had a DVI-DVI cable bundled with your shipment or not? I only got a VGA-VGA cable.

If you really want to use the DisplayPort with HDMI, best to use an adapter. Noops has loads of them and if you're in KL you can pickup from ViewNet folks at Lowyat.

expensive error on my part.

Never personally tried it but from most of the recommendations online, seems that adapter is better than direct HDMI-DP cables to prevent incompatibility..

Sorry to hear that for your loss

Anyway, yes. My U2412M does have DVI-DVI cable along with VGA-VGA cable bundled together.

what are written in what's in the box are the accessories i get inside the box. they don't provide DisplayPort cable although that the monitor has DP port.
you need to ask a person/shop/dealer/retailer because that accessories suppose to be inside the box and sealed. are you buying a monitor that already being taken out from a box?

Thanks PB and mohdazuan. I bought directly from Dell and looks like they did not ship the DVI cable to me. I've checked the packaging few times already. Time to call Dell...

hi guys, i need recommendation for monitor for alienware desktop x51.

basic requirements
1) below rm600
2) mostly used in photo editing, movie and gaming.
3) nice outlook design preferable

thanks in advance!

Dell U2312HM

honestly i've seen a lot of good reviews about U2312HM.
it is in my consideration as well because of the edge for being able to turn into portrait view.
isn't it amazing if joining 2-3 monitors together?

only thing is i prefer monitor with sharp edge sides, literally just like alienware aw2310's design. couldn't afford that

definitely looking forward to add-on dual monitor or more in the future and i wish to stick to the same model of monitors.
anyway just trying my luck to see if there's any good monitor besides U2312HM.

I dislike U2312HM ghosting...

honestly it's noticeable when you compare it with my friend's Asus IPS display...

can someone please recommend me similar price range display..

Wow...
realise Thunder Match selling the
U2312HM @ RM540
U2412HM @ 830
with 5 Years advance exchange.

Too bad I bought mine already.

That's really a good deal with 5 years warranty..

Is there any free keyboard (Razer Arctosa) included with it @ RM830?

They dint mention it so I think its a no.

Here .. its from Their FB page..

Wait what, since when did U2312HM comes with HDMI port?

Anyway just did some Google and found out that the U2412HM comes with 16:9 native resolution.. oh well it wouldn't bother me though I bought my U2412M at slightly higher price but with free keyboard

Huh? Mine is U2412HM with 16:10 native resolution..
