Umm, now that's pretty visible, you can call Dell directly or just email them with the attachment, they should be able to do something about it.

My case is visible only when there's total darkness (yea didn't mention that clearly), you can see little light came out from the part of which it's dark when it's on bright screen.
When there's bright screen, it's the same as yours, though the "stain" looks pretty small.


I'm not what's your definition of "ugly" but if you use the monitor native resolution then you shouldn't see any jagged pixels.
Currently (what I know so far) the smallest screen with full HD (desktop monitor) is 21.5" (22") so 20" is 1600x900.

Apple Macbook Pro just hit next tech (laptop) of which its 15" screen packs 2880x1800, retina display, phew~~

seems like you have backlight bleeding/defect. just call dell and ask about how to send it back for a new replacement/warranty info.

This look really good. Cheap + HDMI and quite slim as well

yea i think will contact them regarding the warranty stuff...but do they give refurbish set as replacement?

and btw u2410 is kinda old now...is there any news that dell going to release another replacement for this model?

Erm. It's actually like this. I was asking about laptop monitors reso, 1366x768(HD+) would fit a 14 inches monitor nicely. While 1366x768 on a 15.6 inches monitor would look bad(the pixels are a bit too big tho, 1600x900 would look so much nicer on a 15.6 inches laptop monitor). If 1600x900 fit 15.6 inches monitor nice, i think a 20 inches monitor(which doesn't have full HD) would require a higher reso?

Hey guys, saw Asus VS239N IPS, compare to Dell U2312HM which is better?

U2410 still on sales so it's not an old model, just this model lasted quite sometimes, btw don't compare U2410 to the newer U2412HM, they're different league.

Added on June 12, 2012, 5:15 pmOh, you mean laptop vs desktop, well 15.6" already has 1080p, Dell XPS, Alienware, and some other brand gaming notebook (sorry if your fan-brand is not on the list ) all has 1080p on their 15.6" or higher display.
Desktop however is slightly slower to adapt to this technology but I can be sure that next year is probably the year that next gen of display will start to coming into the market. Well... Intel already has the road map for the display technology, even the 13" has 1080p... nice~
Even the biggest LCD TV on the market is still 1080p... if you look closely you can see the dot.

Im prefer Dell anyday as their services so damn awesome

hi! thanks for your suggestions and advice!
after lotsa surfing tech forums, i think i've found a solution for this problem.

i've accessed the catalyst control center, went to the 'scaling options' of my digital display and adjusted the 'overscan/undeerscan' settings to 0%.
that seems to have solved the problem...although to b honest , i dont really understand why this problem exists...

PS: funny thing is, my display settings was already at 1920x1080 b4 i even bought this monitor, so how come it has shrunk on an even bigger screen?

Is there any other alternative for U2711? For similar size and resolution

so i am using dell u2311, but whenever i play game, and they show the trailer at the front

my screen will always flicker a little bit, doesn't matter wat game, why is that?

is it becuz my refresh rate not good enough?

For the U2711, is it okay to use only hdmi or display port connection instead of dual dvi link for full performance?

you need to check your graphic card what is the max resolution output of hdmi it can produce. all graphic card can shoot 2560x1600 (16:10) via DP. since u2711 max resolution is 2560x1440 (16:9)
some graphic card that has hdmi only can display 1920x1200 60Hz

When the lights are on, it's actually there but after a minute or two, your eyes get used to it and you no longer notice it, unless you move your head around (the glow changes with view angle).

I should point out though, that this is an issue with low cost IPS panels of this size. Any 23" monitor you buy for about RM600 that is IPS will have this glow.

Oh ic. Because im gonna connect my Macbook pro + PS3 to u2711. Hopefully HDMI would be suffice to handle the WQHD res.

Btw, how's the 'IPS glow' for U2711 in comparison with cheaper IPS panel like U2312hm?

Its not a "stain", but rather a "bubble" layer in the LCD panel itself. You could call them up and see if this can be sent for warranty.

Nopes, next up is actually 1680x1050 for 22" widescreen monitors. Newer 21.5" widescreen monitors have 1920x1080 resolution. You'll find 1600x900 in 20" widescreen monitors.

They may send you a new unit, or a refurbished unit of the same model. Depends on whether they have old stock or not. As for replacement with a different model, then that's up to their warranty department...

Are you using VGA connection? Then you may need to set graphic card timings to compensate for the out-of-proportion pixel aspect ratio. Sometimes due to unrecognized HSYNC, the display overflows (left and/or right borders extends beyond the screen area) or screen border shifted left/right beyond the screen area.

I don't have a U2711, but it uses a much better panel technology than the e-IPS used in the U2312HM and most other cheap IPS monitors, so there shouldn't be any noticeable glow. You should only see that sort of problem with cheap, small IPS monitors under a thousand ringgit.

-EDITED-

Manage to fix it with auto adjustment

Any 2312HM owner user here. ...
Is it really Dell brand of 2312hm that poor .
What kind of rainbow effect ? i dont understand...

Speaking of Korean monitors, I wonder if you noticed the ISP in 881118's siggy. Anyway, here's a good answer to that...And I don't like glossy screens too. The reflections can be highly distracting. It doesn't have to be overhead lights, any onject in the victinity that reflects or emits light will show up on the glossy surface. If you play games that have dark and/or nocturnal environments (e.g. at night, in a dark cavern, unlit hallways, etc) then the reflections will be more significant (ie. annoying).
