Just got myself a U2412M. was aiming for 2312HM, but no stock >.<

no regret for this model. colour is sharp and screen suddenly become so big.. upgraded from a dinosaur monitor (viewsonic VA702N- 17")...

should i do any calibration to it? i use mostly for video only.

Any sifu's advice ?

Dell default is quite good, no calibration is needed if you just watching movies and playing games.
If you need accurate colours on graphics editing then you need calibration.

noted, thanks:)

do i need to set the contrast /brightness to 75 fix?

if use its auto, seems the movie night time, will appear to dark ... any fix to it?

Umm, if that the case then don't use the auto function (or dynamic), set the brightness and contrast to your liking then leave as it is until you feels like to set it again.
I would personally set the brightness as low as possible, contrast can be set lower if you feel the white is too bright after set the brightness.

My U2311H brightness level is 20 and contrast 89

samsung 27' 16:9 1080p 120hz only around rm1750

so high contrast? tonight i try your setting.

the dynamic function = save elect, but not nice to watch for movie...

Why U2412 only bigger than U2312HM by 1 inches, but price wise need to add about rm 300?

U2412M is also 16:10, 1920X1200 which gives you extra 200 vertical pixels.

*120 vertical pixels

For your info, dynamic does not save electricity, it's just auto brightness/contrast adjust according to the display lightning, it gives a impression that it has high contrast ratio (false advertising as always).
And for your info, power saving is way too significant nowadays with LED backlit, the main component that drive the LCD panel is the one that consume the most power.

i've gave up and reset it back to manufacturer setting.. 75 / 75.. >.<

lol yeah *paiseh*

i am using brightness=30 and contrast=65 for my u2412m
best for everything, games, internet browsing, daily work, movie, either inside bright or dark room.

Dell U2312HM. Why? well, take your time flip at least 10 pages back to read some comments on this.
Since you can fork up to RM 600, Dell U2312HM is at around RM580, a very good deal for its quality and service.

ive 3 monitor in my mind
dell u2312hm
lg ips 234v
hp x2301
which 1 is perfect??i think i might want buy that hp..becos its glossy..i like glossy monitor..but its not ips..which colour is btter??

After jumping from glossy to Matte type of screen, I can tell you how bad glossy screen is

Prone to reflections/glare, always seeing yourself when using the monitor

p/s: I'd go for the matte U2312HM if I were you lol
