ST2320L is 23", the number 23 in the model number indicate that, the 21.5" model is ST2220L (22").

Totally new model, and it won't supersede the U2711, it's of different league.
U2713HM probably has the same panel as the U2312HM and U2412M, it just got bigger display and it come with USB 3.0 Hub, added 1 HDMI which is a great plus, definitely a good addition for entry 27" IPS monitor.
But, will still need to wait for professional reviews regards few points, such as back light bleed, true pixel response time, input lag and viewing angles.

LOL my bad, haven researched the panel, only compared the price tag
Anyway, looking at the review shows that it does has potential for graphical usage compared to U2312HM or U2412M, but the input lag might draw some gamers away.
Movies will be nice, since the response time is almost identical to its older sibling, just few ms slower shouldn't be really noticeable.


Viewing angles, yes, sharper image? Erm, what do you mean by sharper image? Or do you mean it has better colour?

Easiest way is to set the monitor you want to play games on as active/primary monitor.
It can be set at the "Screen resolution" control panel once you have both monitor connect and identified.
But if you need something automatic, try the AMD CCC profile, not sure how to set it though.

Should place competitively against the Dell new model U2713HM, the 24" PA248Q is already RM200+ cheaper than Dell U2410 and has USB3 hub, but lacks of slightly less input (not really big deal).

RM1,5xx before shipping? If it's, it'll be hell of a price tag consider the IPS panel and all the features

Reviews needed...

12ms isn't bad for normal gaming and watching movie, but if you're hardcore FPS gamer, then better choose 120Hz TN panel. Btw, which model are you referring to?

Maybe your friend's house?
Or if all no go then ask the receptionist of your campus to receive it on your behalf.

Most monitors out there right now is based on 16:9, very rare of new monitor based on 16:10 unless for some 24" model.
Here you go, sorry I always pick Dell only Dell E2210
It's advertised as 22" though.

You can have different size, resolution of screen together, but if you want to mirror them, then it'll create a problem, you must use both at the same resolution which would mostly fix you on the lowest possible resolution, can be distorted (stretched screen). If you extend your screen then you can have all monitors as native resolution but you'll see the screen as different width and height (one square and higher height and one is rectangle and longer width, etc). Usable as normal desktop but playing games may pose slight problem (not a huge issue anyway).

I think you had mistaken something there, they're talking about the Raya promotion ended not long ago which was only RM460, a good steal price for that model, can up 5-year warranty some more without breaking the budget.

Dell just got themselves a free advertising in this thread.
Looking forward to the increased pixel density as proposed by Intel, QHD on 23/24" monitor.

Your graphics card can support up to 30" no issue, with your games requirement I don't think you need to change any other parts unless you're looking into current and future games.
What model are you looking at right now?

Samsung was my first choice, despite the much expensive price tag, but current Samsung display wasn't that attractive any more, the QC also bad since my last purchase.
For Samsung, it's best to get the high-end display, though I'm not too sure if their QC on the high-end unit is better.
Since Dell provide 1-on-1 exchange on the spot when you call them up, Samsung needs to go back to the shop or probably distro for them to send back to factory, and you loses the time usually up to 1 month for them to RMA. This is where most of us here would recommend Dell over other brands, even the QC might be slightly worst than others.

23" - 1.5 to 2 feet away.
1 feet = ~30cm
Usuallly watching movie will be at the 2 feet, otherwise 1.5 when I want to view some document with small letters or browsing the Internet.

Latest U2312HM has higher contrast thus the very "vivid" colours out of the box, with the LED tech the brightness is way much higher than your 9-year old CCFL tech of which has worn out since (much yellowish).
Try compare both side by side and you can see the U2312HM has much detail on the colours (compare them using full range gradient colours), there you'll see the different between normal TN and entry-level IPS, higher end IPS is even better at the gradient colours, smoother especially at the end of the dark colours.
This model is the hottest so far, I would go for the higher res U2713HM, just need save up right now, hehehe.... or perhaps save up for even higher density monitor that yet to come. 4K anyone??

What size do you need for your secondary monitor? Is it going to be same height? Square? I doubt any monitor will have configuration from your picture, if you want same height, try the 17" monitor, should be around that height, otherwise another 16:9 monitor that can swivel will definitely higher than your current primary monitor (after swivel 90 degree).

LMAO, the first hit that I got from searching IPS237L is this

Pathetic LG advertising.

Gave false hope for those wanting or buying for multi-monitors gaming setup.
So yeah, single monitor won't be affected by this.

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.

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".

What's your laptop model? Does it has HDMI output?
If you only and ONLY has VGA then you have not much choice, and you'll certainly encounter some annoying refresh scan lines across the whole screen (dark screen, black screen will be very visible) due to analogue signal issue using VGA.
But if your laptop has HDMI then use HDMI to DVI converter, but I have yet to try this out myself so I'm not sure if it will work correctly.

Umm, I just can't find the good terms on that "refresh" thing that's quite visible when using VGA on my 1080p monitor, not sure if this is under-powered VGA signal or is it the bandwidth is not enough to drive 1080p pixels across whole screen.
Please enlighten me.
