You guys do understand that the Dell U2414H has a serious flaw that it doesn't properly use the correct color profile when it is connected via DP/HDMI from a Nvidia card, right?

The monitor will be recognized as a "HDTV" and will be locked in 16-255 limited range. This is absolutely wrong.
Currently the temporary fix is to force a full range RGB in your own Windows registry, but this is temporary and it doesn't work with every program as it would like a proper switch will.

Some people has reported that the latest A02 revision of the U2414H has fixed this issue, but the power saving freeze bug is still a problem.

is U2312HM so gd?
worth getting it used?

the only time i ever got a dell was my first lcd the Dell 2405FPW. Haven't had another till this new u2413 i just ordered and thats due in a week 

The other brand i tried is HP LP2475W. It was good but i later ended up having to get a replacement model because of the panel lottery when it came to this model.

So from my experience, both Dell and HP monitors have a good local presence here in Malaysia in terms of shipping and getting replacement monitors.

But GPU does not has to power to push at 4K, for now.

1080p will still be the mainstream.

I can imagine maybe in 2 years time, torrent website will be filled with 4K Movies, 100GB+/movie.

but 1080p and 720p content seem to be much more prevalent as a digital medium.

The quality is still considered good, and the file size for such content is not too bad as well. Internet speeds these days are fast as well to download that big a file.
For example a bluray rip 1080p is roughly let's say 8-12gb In comparison how big in file size will 4k content be for the same thing ? 
For 4k content to really become mainstream, the media and hardware needs to be affordable.

But from what i've seen the 4k monitors are pricey, and if you do get that monitor, all your dvds, bluray 720p/1080p will be upscaled to fit the 4k reso monitor. Will it look alright ? 
4k maybe alright for big screen tvs (42'', 51'' and +), but for computer monitor ( 24'', 27'' 31'') i'm doubtful 

highly compressed, so definitely watching from the original bluray is definitely better. But in terms of anime, sometimes the subs are not as good as fansubs, not to mention wear and tear for using the discs themselves. Also takes too much space if you rip the direct quality from the disc. So for a better balance compression is used. I guess it's up to the user what they would be more comfortable with. Fansubbing/encoding is an art so i leave it to the pros to do it on my behalf. Much nicer to stream digital media from my home QNAP NAS rather than using my actual physical discs all the time 

i was an early adopter for lcd. Got the Dell 2405 FPW when it first came out, and that cost a bomb. These days can get a good premium ah-ips for half the price that i paid 

but yeah you are right, 4k is more suited for a higher resolution screen, or more accurately a bigger '' size monitor.

Problem is that if most of your content is dvd, 720p and 1080p, it could prove problematic going to a higher resolution, because you lose the sharpness of your video the more you have to upscale to fit the resolution. Then again i have no experience testing a 27'', 31'' or higher for my pc gaming/anime, so not sure how much of an issue in quality this could pose. Maybe it's not too a big deal 
I prefer 1920x1200 because i get more working space in apps, games, desktop etc. Also the taller black bars don't really bother me when viewing 1920x1080 (aka 1080p) content. This is on a 24'' screen which to me is more suitable for such content.
For early adopter for 4k, there is the Eizo highend 27'' monitor i saw which could downscale 4k content to work on a lower resolution

But whatever monitor you get, i suggest viewing the video content using HC-MPC + Madvr + reclock + lavfilters + XySubFilter

actually i never really jumped on that vlc bandwagon. But i did use the cccp for a time, but they've really lost their relevance now.

There are guides out there that can show newbs like me how to install and configure to get 10bit anime working properly   even updating isn't an issue anymore.

Could use some help in deciding a new monitor purchase.

Contemplating either the Samsung 4K monitor (U28D590D) or a dual/triple display array. Running a single GTX 680.

Could use suggestions for monitor models for the triple array too.

Good question. Actually I'm cool with slim bezels. I like the idea of multi monitor with legible fonts. Have never used a 4K monitor in UHD resolution so I have no idea what the text will be like. Afraid they won't be legible. Anyone here got an idea?

Are the DELL U2414H the best (price/performance/features) I can get for a multiple monitor setup? Or are there other options I should consider?

Will go check out some videos later, thanks.

Seen the AOC, wasn't really impressed. Haha.

Any opinion on the Samsung S24D390HL or S24D590PL?

Hm. No VESA. And horrible stands. I think I'll stick with the U2414H. Lol

1. MPC-HC Nightly (installer, x86, updated every 4 days)
2. LAV filters
3. madVR
4. XySubFilter
5. ReClock
I had installed a while ago. The updating process is also quite simple really. Also it's not like you have to do it every so often. I'd only do it maybe once a year ?
Oh by the way, i also disable the internal filters in mpc, because i'm using the external package from lav filters.

hi guys, dno if it's the right place to ask, any recommendations for monitors around 23 - 24 inch IPS monitor ? budget less than 1k. if can around 700.. wanna use for photo editing. thanks.

16:10 is better than 16:9?

wat bout dell P2414H? or the S2340L?

i checked the p24, it says it has the same panel as the u2414hm useing ah-ips panel. u2412m was using e-ips panel

btw in dell malaysia website i only see the model p2314, cant find p2414.    The monitor din come to malaysia?

saw in lelong costs around 810.. 3 yr warranty. i guess going for u2414h better since 5 yr warranty n looks better..
unless i go for p2314 which is around 150 cheaper. 

im using ATI Radeon, does it have any effect?

what problem? can elaborate?

Thanks.

What's the best 16:10 monitor you recommend? Thinking of Dell Ultra sharp 2412m

Not sure whether there's any others available in Malaysia.
