i wanna ask what kind of cables you ladies are using to connect to your u2412m. I'm getting mine delivered this week and my laptop has HDMI & VGA only. My options are:
a. Display Port to HDMI cable
b. DVI to HDMI cable
c. DVI - HDMI convertor & HDMI cable
d. Display Port - HDMI convertor & HDMI Cable

Wonder if any impact to quality and any significant difference between DVI and Display Port you ladies experiencing so far?

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.

sad.gif expensive error on my part.

what are written in what's in the box are the accessories i get inside the box. they don't provide DisplayPort cable although that the monitor has DP port.
you need to ask a person/shop/dealer/retailer because that accessories suppose to be inside the box and sealed. are you buying a monitor that already being taken out from a box?

Thanks PB and mohdazuan. I bought directly from Dell and looks like they did not ship the DVI cable to me. I've checked the packaging few times already. Time to call Dell...
