U2412 only have DVI, VGA and DisplayPort. DisplayPort can deliver as good as HDMI can (including sound), or even better. So there's no worry about HDMI as you can easily get a (mini)/HDMI-to-DisplayPort cables around.
Read here for more if you're interested.
Urhh.. Polarz... I'm afraid your advice is misaligned a little, unless I'm wrong. Unless you have tried the HDMI-DP cable yourself personally, I think readers here should be a bit more wary from my own personal experience this weekend.
I went to pick up a noops cable HDMI-Displayport (CB-CA2251) - cannot work. noobs dont even list this product on their own website anymore (www.noops.asia).
Please be careful Lowyat readers - if your laptop is HDMI, safest bet is to HDMI-DVI to your DELL U24212M and not use the DisplayPort. RM75 blown on the cable for nothing. According websites out there, the HDMI-DP cable not bi-directional and this HDMI-DisplayPort is meant to work ONE WAY only : meaning your source is DP and the target monitor is HDMI.
Also wanna ask if you DELL U2412M owners had a DVI-DVI cable bundled with your shipment or not? I only got a VGA-VGA cable.
If you really want to use the DisplayPort with HDMI, best to use an adapter. Noops has loads of them and if you're in KL you can pickup from ViewNet folks at Lowyat.

expensive error on my part.
