the website shows RM1029 (as of now)
the 5 years Services is an addon of Rm66.78 ( It's worth it!)
You can always chat with their customer service to ask them quote you discount price smile.gif

Never knew you can add the 5 year services. Time to change my quotation!
THanks for the heads up

My old TN monitor seems to produce good colours but less details. Current U2417H has natural colours and more details.

Depending on your pc can power host the games in 2k resolution or not. Also 2k Ralston might kind of small everything in windows for 100% scale.

As per title, i'm mostly use the monitor for work and gaming balance.

Work: Web Design, PS, Ai, Video Editing, coding, browsing.
Game: CoD, Pro Evo Soccer, Forza Motorsport 6: Apex, etc.

Need you guys advise on which one is fit the bill and value for money smile.gif

Thanks!  notworthy.gif

Price is based on Dell Malaysia site, i believe Lazada/11street can get better price.

OPTION #1 - U2417H: RM 1029
Love the design, InfinityEdge thin bezel.

OPTION #2 - S2418H: RM 979
Newer series, newer tech? how about HRD vs Ultrasharp?  hmm.gif

OPTION #3 - U2917W (Ultrawide): RM 1599
Any existing Ultrawide user here? Any comment? Never try Ultrawide before  hmm.gif .

U2417 any time over the other 2.

U2417:
1) Factory calibrated (since you do design, you'll appreciate the price you pay and get a calibrated sRGB display)
2) 16:9 for your video editing
3) all the ports you need (except VGA)
4) highest price to performance ratio
5) the haze might be a turn off due to matte coating for some people but i find the haze treatment is just right. no big deal.

S2418:
1) Glossy, a huge no no (although Dell says anti glare on its website, this is a glossy monitor)
2) non adjustable stand
3) no vesa mount
4) HDR on a monitor with peak brightness of 250cd/m, dont bother.
5) No display port

U2917W
1) ultra wide does not appeal to me

I'll share what i found, not sure if this help~ the reason why it's cheap
Part of it --> the Stands~
and this~ i noticed it yesterday ~ S2418H uses 6Bit+FRC while Ultrasharp uses 8Bits panel
*
both U2417 and S2418 is 6bit + FRC.
its quite hard to get a true 8bit nowadays, but to be honest, FRC is so good nowadays you can hardly notice huge differences with true 8 bits panel


QUOTE(Lon3Rang3r00 @ Apr 11 2017, 10:54 AM)
in UK Dell website it doesn't show that it's anti-glare
but Malaysia Dell website did stated the monitor come with " Anti-glare treatment of the front polarizer (3H)"
cool2.gif  You can confirm with with Dell Customer representative = just give them a call or chat with them~

Just talk to the Dell's CS, U2417H and S2418H bothe anti-glare, means non-reflective...

But i guess i will stick to Ultrasharp, because my current 2007WFP served me for so long since 2008  cool2.gif smile.gif

still work well but just start having backlight bleeding, so looking for successor...  smile.gif

Regardless of what they say, its still glossy to my eyes.

I will only pick option one because S2418H is glossy surface, difficult to prevent reflection. As for Ultrawide, 29" is too small to get immersive feel. Ultrawide best size at least 34" and curve.
