From my experience,VGA sometimes look just as fine as DVI but at other times look like shit.From what i can see,when i connect a VGA cable from a laptop to a U2311H,the image produced is blurry and auto adjustment can't fix it.On the other hand,when i connect a VGA cable from a desktop with iGPU/dGPU the the image produced is as good as DVI,there's no difference at all.Does this mean laptops have more EMI than desktops?

The P2311H uses a TN panel,that's why it's not mentioned here.Aside from the stand and USB ports there's nothing that separates it compared to the other displays you can find in shops.

Personally i recommend the Asus VS239-N which retails for RM639,it uses an eIPS panel thus not matter how you sit [or lay down] while playing the colours won't change much.It supports HDCP so you only need to get a HDMI to DVI converter.

For monitors below 24" the best you can get are the ones that use eIPS panels like the Dell U2312HM,Asus VS239-N,LG IPS236V .Ones that use VA panels like those Samsung TVs you see in shops afaik don't come in sizes smaller than 24" .These monitors i mentioned,from what i've seen they are better than the lowest end TVs you see in shops ,their colours are plenty vivid and they can show proper colour gradients unlike some other PC monitors which make skin tone look weird and fine details indistinguishable .Also,these monitors have a matte coating on the screen which doesn't make the colours pop as much as TVs.

Ah,sorry about that.I mixed up HDCP with HDMI.It doesn't have HDMI but it does have DVI with HDCP support so you should be able to display DRM protected content with it.

AFAIK out of the box the Dell U2312HM and the Asus VS239N has better calibration out of the box compared to the LG IPS236V.You might want to consider that as well.

Dell Ultrasharp line of monitors aren't sold in shops,you can only get them online.
The S27A550H is a bit better since it's bigger and uses a relatively good TN panel.more.
That said the viewing angles aren't as good as the U2312HM.The colours are also not accurate
It also costs considerably

LG IPS236V RM609~,IPS panel ,HDMI port.

Hard to say,there's no proper reviews for those monitors that can be found

The IPS236 uses an eIPS panel which guarantees much better viewing angles .Colour production is also typically better.

the V have a HDMI port while the T only have DVI and VGA ports

Different individual units bro,you can't use his setting and expect it to be exactly the same.If you're serious about calibrating it then borrow a colorimeter from someone else or just use the standard preset.

It is supposed to be tuned at the factory as well afaik. From what i can see though the colour gamut is smaller compared to the U2711
