Updated:- Just need to update the driver to the latest revision... smile.gif

Anyone here using dell u2515h monitor?

Would like to check what is the max resolution for hdmi? I can only get 2048 x 1152.

sorry for replying old post, but you should already know what is HDMI's limitation on higher than 1080p resolution

HDMI lower than version 1.4 have issues supporting >1080p at 60Hz

Well, admitted do not quite understand the full limitation with HDMI though seen some article mentioning lower the refresh rate to 55 or lower...

Though going on the adventure of trial and error, only thing I've done is checked  that my graphics card able to support. I did suspect the cable at first but the box indicated v1.4 (assuming it is as claim since it is a cheap cable from lowyat).

In the end, I tried updating the driver which then resolve the issue.

youll be hard pressed to find HDMI 2.0 in the market. its still rare. in fact, some shops are still selling 1.3 cables instead of 1.4 sweat.gif

but youve got it fixed from the driver side?

4k is overkill for me  blush.gif
Thanks for summoning marfccy hehe.  biggrin.gif
I never tried 25" before, compare to 25" and 27" which would you prefer?
*
depends on your preference really.

for my case, i dont have the desk space to accomodate a 27" and 23" together. so i picked the 25" instead

and boy it didnt disappoint. like i mentioned earlier, the pixel pitch can be troublesome at start, but you can fix it by adjusting Windows scaling or let your eyes adjust. in abt <1 month, the smaller text doesnt affect me anymore than those people who bought 1440p smartphones at 5" screens.

but if you like large screens, especially in terms of purely entertainment (movies games etc), 27" is the sweet spot

Guys, is this 2340L  & 2415H differ in ips type?some source said both uses AH-ips ...  does it differs very much from e-ips in u2312?  Im thinking of these two. Budget 600-700
Which one better?  Ah-ips or e-ips?  Enlighten me pls on these ips type...
*
S series afaik uses VA panel instead of IPS, but i could be wrong. newer models might have changed

in short, AH-IPS > E-IPS. thats all

thanks for reply.. going from TN+matte to IPS+glossy really an improvement..

just bought the S2340L..
satisfied with it.  thumbup.gif

though, the reflection of glossy screen can be annoying when playing competitive game like cs:go
*
just remember, dont face it near bright light sources smile.gif

glossy would be fine if theres no bright light source

What you guys take on using TV screen as monitor?  hmm.gif
Have a budget around 1.2k-1.3k want to get a good screen, good and accurate color since I do some graphic work - as long as general color is correct, don't have some weird blue/yellow tint that can't remove, then it will be fine.
Went to friend house saw him using 48" 1080p (pic model below) seems pretty damn sharp, no blurry interface or text at all which quite impress me. Altough generally low PPI but doesn't seems to have pixelated issue at view distance ~5 feet. Although I haven't test it extensively in term of color accuracy, input lag, etc.

Planning to get that 40" if possible but I want to hear anyone if have any idea / advice over this matter. I do play games so yea a big screen would be nice.
At that budget can only get a 27" pc monitor which isn't exactly a big step from 23"... 1080p resolution isn't really an issue, I will be using AMD VSR anyway.

for colour accuracy, pick monitors to TV

generally TV presets are usually high contrast, high saturation and dynamic bla bla which isnt accurate at all

for entertainment, yes. TV reign supreme

for text reading, youll thank the stars you have monitors. trust me, ive tried TV as browsing material.. itll kill your eyes

Hi, I'm using Dell S2409W, planning to upgrade to Dell U2515H, need advise here.

Would like to know is it a good idea to switch from 1080p on 24" to 1440p on 25"?
Is texts on 1440p 25" really hard to read?
I mainly use my monitor for gaming, movie, photo/video editing, worth the switch?

I can't find any shops with Dell U5715H display unit......

1. why not? i did and there was no regrets

2. at first it may seem jarring, but after awhile youll get used to it. doesnt even take long

3. gaming on 1440p requires quite abit of graphical power, so if your card is not up to it, i wouldnt recommend as itll just bring on the upgrade frenzy. for work wise, its friggin good, extra resolution space is always welcomed. movie wise, not much diff than usual
