Yeah,I had a tough time carrying my U2311H back in the days too. Why don't you try the S2240L? The box is small and when packaged it's a good bit lighter than the 23 inchers. Image quality wise the one I have at home is superb with blacks that are deep [for an IPS] and quite accurate out of the box [with the custom color preset]. It doesn't have an anti glare coating though so if your room is bright you'll see reflections. That said it is still better than a 21.5" iMac from 2012.

If I am willing to spend RM500~RM600 for a monitor. How good the monitor can go ? Is it possible to get a monitor with at least 23" inches at this price ? Which brand has the better graphic ?

Basically use it for watching movie purpose and I prefer large scree. Any recommendation ?

The U2412M has a different aspect ratio thus more vertical pixels. To some this is very important. IIRC performance wise they are about the same.

Dell U2312HM - RM600~ ,23" IPS display with anti glare coating,has a stand that can swivel and tilt.
Dell S2340L - RM560~ ,23" glossy IPS display [makes text a bit sharper,and colors a bit punchier],slim bezels,ok stand
Viewsonic VX2370S - RM550,23" IPS with anti glare coating,decent stand
Acer V246HYL - RM525 [Jayacom],24" IPS with anti glare coating.

Generally speaking the image quality between these monitors should be about the same,unless you get a unit with excessive backlight bleed or dead/stuck pixels etc etc. The glossy models should have punchier colors but be prepared for glare. Gaming wise, I can't really say. Personally I don't think they would be noticeably slower or less responsive compared to a TN panel monitor.

what is the cheapest that i could get for a 1440p and 3d monitor?

helo guys.. long time not been here... wanna check what is the best or so monitor coming or at the moment? my viewsonice is showing signs of kaput... lol.. lcd screen got white lines and rounding whitening area (growing by the day)...

seems like everyone is talking dell 23" model and 27" model... I use for gaming and movie... if there is HDMI is a plus... just like all your opinion...thanks

Am also waiting for some recommendation for gaming and movie watching.... hehe..

from your description.. it is better to get U2412M compare to the other that you mentioned?

Is Samsung s27c350H good? Compare to dell u2312hm?

U2312HM just got it from PC Expo... RM500 Only... hehehe

I have a question about this monitor is that every time I on my PC I need to press on/off button for this monitor.
Because some of monitor when you press on button one time without press off button, every time you on PC the monitor well on it.
For example Asus vw190de.

Yea..the reflective part is a bit turn off especially when u r gonna look at the screen for a long time

U2412M should be the best among all in that price range plus the warranty from Dell. The only disadvantage is that it lacks HDMI port

Got warranty? Coz some is ARB unit.

5 years warranty new set... its promo...
its selling 599 but first 100 get RM99 off... so you pay RM500

by the way how you checkwhether ARB or not? lol

Any LCD monitor that can match the quality like IMAC screen? I saw imac the picture quality is damn solid though

this promo is from authorized retailer or direct from dell? receipt issue from where?

physically can't really able to tell or check ARB or not.

Dell's UltraSharp UP3214Q Ultra HD Monitor Gets Priced at Hong Kong



HK$41,899 (~RM 17,000 !!!)

I'm in the market for an LCD display about 1k.... what would be the absolute best one under this range? It's for gaming, I'm looking for 27 inch but if 23 inches are better image quality that I go for 23 inch.

I used to have a samsung 206BW (which I pretty like btw), that will be replaced with this monitor.

Required specs:

2ms response time
HDMI input
VGA input

ARB unit basically no warranty (except personal warranty from the seller like 7 days) but they are sold for a very much cheaper price (Almost half of the original price) I am not sure how to check whether an unit is an ARB anot though.

hey guys, I hooked up my desktop to my 40 inch LED TV as I don't have resources to buy a monitor. Apart from the response time, is it ok to play using LCD TV? My rig is mostly only for gaming. let me know your thoughts.. thanks!

see ur budget la. the end product u buy is same but pay different price

all details is printed on box sticker unless it has been tempered by reseller

tv standard use reduced color gradient 16-235, not suitable for serious art work.
but game no issue

Try Dell Ultrasharp 2412M comes with HDMI, DVI, Displayport, 8ms responce time due to IPS panel, (TN panel is fast but IPS have better color and viewing angle worth the trade off), 16:10 aspect ratio with 1920x1200 pixel , I brought it at LYP for RM850 , if you on a desk, I wouldn't recommend 27 inch monitor with 1920x1080 due to low DPI(dot per inch)
Ca buy entire high end home theater set including TV and HTPC from there .

Depend on viewing distance, on a desk I wouldn't recommend it(low DPI), on a couch then is perfectly ok.

bought online from Lazada, supplied by Aone Plus for RM599 include shipping + free iFrog headphones quite nice i say

Appreciate your inputs guys! Yeah, actually I view it from my bed so I guess there is enough distance to maximize usage and performance. Although sometimes, it causes my eyes to get teary I guess due to the bright resolution but its only a minor concern! thank you everyone!
