Hey...I just ordered the Dell U2312hm....planning to set dual monitor setup by the end of this year.....is it good? =] some say dual monitor is not ideal for gaming....issit true?

why some of people like to quote "some says", "i heard someone says" or "i read from"

i know you are going to buy an expensive items, but you will not know unless you see it for yourself.

of if you need to test it 1st, you can go to a showroom that displaying all the models. you can test it for yourself.

in my experience i exchanged my current led monitor twice. the 1st one had scratch on the screen, the second one had dead pixel. right now i am using the 3rd one and it is perform well until now.

my point is, you will not know what will happen before you buy it.

so i'm looking for a led monitor around rm500. is Samsung S23A350H a good choice? are there any better options you guys would like to suggest? i wanna replace my age old 17" acer. thx

edit
I've done some research and found out most people recommends Dell U2312HM. Are there any shops in lowyat selling this model? I've checked thru the pricelists and none are selling.

Hi guys, is it possible that if I have dual monitor, I want my game on 1 of the monitor in full screen, windows on the other?

Does it requires any softwares? Or just the settings in Nvidia control panel will do?

it seems there is stocks shortage for Dell U2312HM

anyone got any idea where to get it?

P.S: For people that live near wangsa maju desa, is Asashi shifted away?

Oo.....haha I dunno lar....but my case is not urgent....I collect my item next two weeks later ...so maybe he didn't tell me bout the shortage problem....nothing can go wrong I think since he's a trustworthy dealer...u gonna build eyefinity setup ?

Ya bro, he's definitely a great seller, no doubt on that
He helped me to track down GDex for shipment failure too yesterday

So I guess that's why he didn't tell you about stockout issue huh
I misunderstood of him already (sorry zhen^wei)

haha not going for eyefinity just yet, limited budget now, poor student here what to do Orz

Same.....I'm student here too haha.
Sadly, even if I can save up 2 k pocket money by next year...my working station is still too little space for me to build eyefinity set up. (slowly im becoming gadget geek )
Mum will like..." so now u are some Disney Pixar graphic designer huh? Need multi monitor to browse Facebook and like status"
Good luck with ur item and have a nice day..

Agreed.. upgrading ur workstation is uberly addictive, there's no returning path man

HAHAHA that's hilarious man, need multiple monitor to like Facebook status XD
My relative tell my mom I wanna watch porn clearer and that's why I'm buying it

Alright bro, thanks for ur reply again, have a nice day

Yep, using one of the Dell 24" Ultrasharp's from 2007. 5 year warranty just ended in January and it's still going strong.

I had it changed several times during the 5 years but that was mostly because of the power button though.

hi, great info - thanks.

may i know the ultrasharp 24" is of IPS or normal LCD? also, "had it changed several times" means what? -- u got 1-to-1 replacement, or just repair?

If I'm not mistaken, S-PVA panel.

Anyway, it's always a 1-to-1 replacement when it comes to Dell monitors.

guys, need help, my 4-5years old samsung 933bw suddenly blackout yesterday while im watching movie.. it is like the monitor got no power at all.. even the blue blinking light on the monitor is not blinking..

i use this monitor with my laptop so i know it is not my laptop that cause it..

so guys any ideas on how to fix this? it is like the fuses inside the monitor is blown or something happen.. i wana know is there any fuse inside i can replace?

Shut off all lights in the room, use a torchlight and shine it directly into the LCD screen. Can you see any images? By the way, its not a simple fuse replacement. If the main fuse was blown then there would no power at all. If the inverter fuse blown then there could be some problems in the inverter section (possible short and/or component failure).

hi lex, i believe there is no more power at all on the monitor as normally for samsung monitor there is a blinking blue light under the monitor. it happen so sudden,i was watching movie lastnite then it suddenly blackout.. plez advice..

I managed to get one of old LCD fixed, that cannot be powered on, symptom quite similar, no blue light.

Throw it to the fixing shop, tell them if more than Rm100, just scrap the LCD.
2 days later, tell me total cost Rm80 or RM70 (can't remember), to replace a component (I believe it is fuse), and use it until now (almost 2 years).

Check the fuse in the main 3-pin plug if exist (usually very rarely spoil as this fuse is rated at 13A). Before this happened, were there other signs of monitor problems such as flickering, banding, reddish background (where its supposed to be white) and intermittent power issues (cannot switch on sometimes)? Besides the internal fuse, failures in other components such as power thermistor, capacitors, diodes and main switching MOSFET can lead to no power problems. The only way you can determine that is to open/disassemble the monitor and check the IP board (with some tools, such as a multimeter).

Just RM70 to RM80 to fix a fuse is rather expensive. I've fix those type of problems before myself (and for friends and other people) and costs less (which includes the cost of other failed components).
