Damn... should have waited for this instead rushing for the U2412M @ RM899. Lesson learnt the hard way, always wait for price drop before purchasing when it is near Hari Raya

Mine was at 37 to get about 120cd/m2 brightness.. too bright my eyes also pain >_<

Don't exactly game much nowadays... more for watching movie, bigger is better since I can sit on my bed , bout 2 meter away from my monitor.. not to mention I like the extra working space when working on photoshop .

Oh well, 2412 is nice... but next time shall go for bigger ones .

Make sure you are running on native resolution, and if you're talking about youtube make sure you stream 1080p and use full screen.

Good stuffs goes to those that waits for Dell =/

Yeap, for Dell new LCD it is wise to wait for discounts. Early worm gets eaten by the bird unfortunately in this case.

I'm curious... the U2412M is also LED but looks so fat compared to the S2330MX... wonder why cannot make it thinner

Panel type restricts the thickness? Hmm, but the iPad which is a TN also can be quite thin ma. Don't think that is the reason.

This one sounds logical. This could be it, but so far didn't noticed the dimming yet or maybe need to run in certain mode. My old samsung LCD if set to dynamic contrast it will dim according to what is displayed, but is whole screen dim thought not localized.

o_O, how did you calibrate?

Alamak, why take so long then? Outcome not accurate enough?

There's usually a pre cal to set for color temp, and brightness before running right? As in for example D65 (6500K) and 120cd/m2 for white target.

Yes, blue is turned on and orange for standby.

Bright pixel --> able to warranty right? Better than getting dead pixels which is not covered by the warranty.

Up to you, I usually leave mine on standby if I'm away for a while and turns it off when I away even longer (vacation? )

Last time my first unit of iPad 2 had few dead pixels, tried the steps but failed Maybe because I'm unable to actually put pressure directly since got a glass on top.

U2412M website price is back to RM899, wonder any more surprises or not soon.

Well, its time to claim warranty in this case. Its abnormal if you're seeing it on black screen only. What about other colors? Do you see the blue-ish patch as well?

Totally agree with the stand, am running Dell U2412M with my old Samsung 2233SW, the old Samsung cannot adjust height at all Now my Dell have to go lower because of that sigh... and its harder to put them side by side because I need to tilt the monitors due to the height.

Spyder3Express is only RM3xx, well if you buy the IPS panel for its color might as well calibrate to ensure it is more accurate.

Yes, I'm using Spyder3Express. That time no plans to use multiple monitor, regret I didn't go for Pro or Elite but found a workaround for multiple monitor ;-).

I bought from Yamiya.com.my

No point since I got access to most Pro/Elite features now minus the ambient light sensor

No... the only thing affecting is how many pixels your GC has to display.

You can use a 21.5" 1920x1080 and a 24" 1920x1080, the performance is exactly the same.
