I have been waiting for reviews actually, it seems like nobody is selling it Garage Sales yet so I checked the pricelists, in fact only Startec's got it:

I'm not exactly sure though whether they have mistaken the model for IPS236V, which is an older generation, then again that was about RM600.

I read some Chinese reviews, seems to be pretty good. You know, nowadays people are all buying U2312HM for the roughly similar budget but I feel like buying something else.

Some images comparison between IPS234V and AOC e2352Phz in the review site.

Edit: Looks like images aren't allowed to be taken like that

Review isn't that convincing, need more professional reviews to see the calibrated result, overall screen brightness, backlit bleed, etc etc.
I'll still recommend Dell though, best service.

Finally I got it using xrandr output command to 1600x900.Thanks for telling.

but I have problem with this panel. I found out the white is very white when viewing over 20 degree no matter left right down up all full of white color.

and the part is very dim almost black.

Do I need to call Dell ?

I wouldn't debate on the service part cause that's a no-brainer but their quality control is always a ? to me...

Good quality control does not guarantee you zero dead pixel.

Better quality control would mean more assurance for the customers

Guys any recommendation for a monitor with built in speakers and hdmi connector?

hi all sifus, would like to know the general lifespan of LCD monitors, as I'm plnning to buy secondhand, and dont want to get a unit that's dying.

Anyone here that is using an LCD 5 years or older which is still going strong?

any brand that's famous for long lasting, or opposite: dying fast?

Can share your view?

thx......

Size and budget for the monitor?

For long monitor lifespan, that is very much a lottery draw. Generally LCD monitors do not fail easily compared to CRT monitors. Most LCD monitors will last many years...

My old BenQ FP222W is still running fine. This is the old 16:10 widescreen (before the 16:9 widescreen came along). Also have an older Acer AL1717 as spare work monitor, which is way older than 5 years (was repaired once before though).

As mentioned earlier, pretty much a lottery draw when it comes to longest lasting.

Thanks for the recommendation! Local store is limited range in IPoh and price will sucha expensive.

Why some dealers can afford to sell Dell monitors at a much lower price than Dell itself?

for examp[le, a model that sells at rm899 at Dell like u2412m, they can sell at rm799, and yet got 5 years warranty, so they are not ARB units right?

Can someone explains this? it is safe to buy from them?

it is because dell has 2 seperate division: manufacturing and sales.

all retailers get the products from manufacturing division, same like dell salespersons themselves.
if you call and talk to dell representative, you can get the 899 price become as low as 799. it is a negotiating process. if you went online, pick a monitor, click the purchase button, submit your credit card info, the price will be 899.

3rd party retailers manage to sell 899 monitor with 830-870 range price WITH some so-called free gifts. the free gifts already bound in the price range, since they get the monitors from dell manufacturers with price range 750-780.

of course dell sales department want to generate a revenue. they cannot simply sell a monitor with an exact price came from their factory.

oh thanks for the info. now i can buy without fear...

my previous lcd stand for 2 years only.. then no screen.. Samsung 961BF.. hate it...

Hmmm....any recommendation for gaming+editing (Autocad, sketchup) monitor? Budget around 600 .....is IPS mon good for gaming? Hmm I'm interested in dell u2312hm but they say 8ms is not good for gaming....

It's a delusion/hoax , I can game with my 16ms monitor (measured, advertised at 5ms).
That U2312HM is a true 8ms (reviewed, measured by professional), if you want a real hardcore FPS monitor, goes for those 120Hz monitor instead, those are true deals for hardcore FPS gamer when used in 2D mode.
As for graphics, any monitor is fine I guess, but if you want very very good color then U2410 or higher, U2312HM is basic entry IPS, for entertainment... I guess.

I wonder why Samsung or Dell didnt make monitor with glass screen like Apple did. Samsung galaxy S III phone the LCD is super duper beautiful.

if use the screen same like s3, cost going to be a boom lo...

galaxy s3 didnt use lcd
its using OLED (marketing name: samsung super amoled hd)
