120 pixels, if you can get use to it (like me now) then it's of no problem, otherwise 120 pixels height is quite plenty for some people whom got used to 16:10.

Please have a look at this thread.

You most likely will miss it big time. If you are used to 24" 1200p 23" 1080p will look a lot smaller.

Can anyone recommend me a monitor?
Budget about Rm600
At 1st i'm considering Samsung 24" LED S24B350H
Then I saw you guys mentioned about this DELL 23" IPS U2314HM
And i saw one new IPS from LG IPS237L & IPS234V
Then another one is DELL S2340L?
Sorry for not using the search button because so many topic
Any monitor expert here don't mind to let me know?
Thank you very much

at least you can eliminate one

Hmm i see... Panel different, completely no match...
So left out should be DELL & LG only...
How the performance like???

ill say take either the Dell or LG's IPS monitors

gooding man

Take the Dell! That's not even a comparison any more, Dell's current offering beats LG big time (overall value and service).

Unless you're looking at "cheapest possible".

Just curious, why most of you proposed Dell UltraSharp U2312HM instead of Dell S series S2340L? Both the online price are almost the same, S2340L - RM576 and U2312HM - RM589. Both also IPS (In-Plane Switching).

One of the difference is connectivity. S2340L is using VGA & HDMI, U2312HM is using (DVI-D), DisplayPort (DP), Video Graphics Array (VGA). May I ask a question, I thought HDMI should be better than DVI? Anyone has usued Display Port, is there any difference than HDMI or DVI?

I have seen a Dell S Series LCD demo unit, and I feel that the screen is almost near to retina display.

the whole HDMI versus DP has no effect on consumer/normal user apart from what connector your mostly use to connect your GC/Monitors/LCD/LED/3D tvs.

HDMI in layman is basically DVI + a converter for sound. Hence you will notice if you use HDMI in a monitor that has a built in speaker, it produces sound with just a single cable.

And the main con for DVI is lack of support for HDCP encryption that enable you to play full HD Blu-rays and other HD content

HDMI for manufacturer are royalty charged per device while DP is royalty-free. Both support HDCP.

HDMI hails from the world of TVs, DVD players and consumer electronics. It takes as its starting point S-VHS and composite signals. DisplayPort hails from the computer chaps and uses a more sophisticated and flexible data transmission method.

So between your choices, it boils down to which connector is your main cables.

For future proof i would go DP as most modern Gc supports DP plus you can always get a converter to go HDMI with no problem. Unless of course you totally do not have any device that supports DP. Then just go HDMI.

Note:

HDMI as of version 1.4 theoretically has about 10.2GB/s vs DP 1.2 17.28GB/s bandwidth

It is only based on your own preference, for me I choose the LG IPS237L (which i own it) compare to Dell. Why? Because i just love LG (well LG is the korean famous brand for manufacturing monitor). Dell just wins in term of service and warranty. So again, it is your PERSONAL preference.


HDMI carries both video and audio and mainly designed and used for LED/HD TV not for LED/HD monitor but still it is usable for LED/HD monitor, no quality change at all. DVI carries video only. Both has the same quality there is nothing like hdmi is better than dvi or the opposite.

but do note that some monitors have problem using hdmi (the overscan issue), whereby the display appears to be smaller due to black bars surrounding it.

Can I hear some feedback on why most of you proposed Dell UltraSharp U2312HM instead of Dell S series S2340L? Thanks

I am very happy with dell U series. I got U2412 and U2713HM. Love the stand and build quality.

Dell UltraSharp U2312HM is Premium Panel Guarantee.

Not exactly true, HDMI and DP are incompatible formats only some DP ports have DVI/HDMI bypass.... Digital to digital converters are expensive

Guys, recently just got a mini DP > DP port from ebay.

Last night tried it between my M14X and U2312HM.
At first it was ok. After that, the screen will start flickering then in the end, non-stop.

Then I googled and found quite a number of this case happened to Dell's ultra sharp monitor.

Now not sure whether is the cable prob or monitor >.<

hello guys! =D

im thinking to sell my ACER S231HL 23" and get a 27" monitor..can u guys recommend me a few quality monitors to combo with my gtx 580 =)
my budget still haven't decided yet and want to see the price range 1st..

even if its monitor problem, call Dell ask for replacement.

im sure as Dell, there wont be any replacement problems

hey guys.. saw an IPS monitor LG 27" 277L looks good and quite cheap. but i can't seem to find any review on this monitor.

Hmm are there any decent 27" around? Am using a Viewsonic VX2753 dual with a 22" samsung.
