So I ended up with the HDMI connector, with no solution to fix that issue. SAD

try check for benq XL series, flicker-free and fast response is ideal for gaming.

sRGB = Factory Pre-calibrate Preset and I'm using it with my AMD Radeon card, looks great for me
so if you guys only narrow to HDMI connection, then loss Multi Stream Transport (MST) feature.

solution is change to AMD Radeon graphics card

hi guys i have a question here.

I'm currently using Dell S2440l, it's currently connected to my rig using VGA and at the same time it's connected to my PS4 using HDMI.

Now the problem is the sound, is there a way that i could use one speaker for both my ps4 and my rig? Since there's audio out on the monitor, now the only thing i can do is switch the 3.5mm jack cable back and forth from my rig to the monitor.

any good budget gaming monitor alternatives for PS4/Gaming Rig beside AOC i2369Vm?

Asus/Samsung/Dell? I prefer these 3 brands.

low response time (back to white), low input lag and other gaming factors.

If you are looking for "gaming" monitor, try BenQ RL2450H.

Just to update my Dell monitor warranty, no doubt Dell's customer service is excellent, i log my warranty 2 days ago today i got the replacement. However their product quality really an issue now, look at the picture for my new replacement monitor


Attached thumbnail(s)

Dafuq? Damn bro. Replacement again.

omg call them to ask for replacement again and tell the CS to freaking check the unit b4 send to you.
what's the use for them to deliver so fast yet another faulty unit!!
mayb next time you can ask the deliver guy to wait until you checked the monitor 1st. and ask him to giv you another unit OTS if its faulty. lulz

Ya bro, damn pissed off

I think the delivery guy will not change to me on the spot bcos every exchanged must go though customer service for recording purposes.

White screen plus vertical lines symptoms indicates LCD panel problem (Tcon board failure) and usually have to replace the whole LCD panel. Looks like its going to be RMA again, and hopefully not deliver another bad apple.

That depends, sometimes they have another unit with them (for another customer) which can be exchanged (and have to notify Dell himself as well). Should have quickly test/check the monitor first before the delivery guy left...

Ya, that was my mistake didn't test it on the spot, too confident with the replacement unit

Btw, just received call from Dell, another replacement unit was arranged & will be delivered on Monday

guys, need recommendation here:

use for: gaming (skyrim, rpg, racing, cod, dota), movies

budget: <=Rm1k

gpu: r9-280x

preferably 24"and above.

Thanks guys!

I don like benq/acer. Had bad xp in these 2 brands

Then try Dell U2414H. You will not have bad experience with Dell, their service is superb.

thats it...no more dell...haha dang

You're not alone in this.
Happened to me before too, in the end requested Dell to bring over a total of 4 panels/replacements to my place and my current U2312HM panel is the best among the few sent to my place in terms of backlight bleed and button responsiveness. lol


By the way, U2414H in the house. I wanna get another. lol

Wow they can do that?

Perhaps I was only lucky.
I had been sending my U2312HM back and forth to Dell due to issues though (backlight bleed, unresponsive buttons, one unit even has a glaring defect across the panel like yours) so probably you'd not want to be me lah lol.
Anyhow glad that's over, and now I have a perfect U2312HM. Dell's support is pretty awesome.

If all else fails... BUY THE U2414H!!! Minimal bleed, minimal IPS glow. Very nice panel.

It seems like nowadays dell monitors quality really bad, i really hope the replacement unit that going to send on Monday do not have these type of problems

I think it is likely to do with the fact U2312HM is being out-phased though - What they will have left in inventory are refurbs.
So you'd very likely need to go through a few replacements before getting a decent one.
