Just order the Dell S2409w... I'm from Kuching and the monitor selection here is very bad... Acer H2333H sells for RM749? No Benq, limited choices and all Samsung monitors with no HDMI port (I've got PC, PS3 and Xbox 360) Sorry... I guess my money is belongs to Dell.

Lol... don't be so surprise... I'm from East Coast and everything cost more than West Coast there (partly due to shipping charges but mostly also due to high mark up price)... the shop I'd went to is the largest in Kuching... besides, their service is bad.

Yeah lah... very hard to find other brand... order from them? Susah lah...

I'm actually using 22" now and moving to 24 for 2 reasons:

1. 16:9 ratio for my PS3... kinda tired with the stretch ration.
2. The HDMI...

Will sell off my 22" once I get my 24".

Not fat... but longer because of the extra pixel. Btw, I mean ratio... not ration.

Initially I was consider to get AOC but um... never heard of it before though, later if any warranty claim it might be troublesome. Besides, I think AOC is relatively new brand... correct me if I'm wrong.

In the end I choose Dell.

Yay... going to receive my Dell S2409 this afternoon... took only 4 days.

And my PS3. PC also lah... since my 22" is still around, I can enjoy dual monitor setup for a little while before I sell it.

Tested my Dell S2409W and I'm very satisfy with it... no dead pixel, color is good but the default setting made the screen looks to bright, have to tone it down a bit...

Using PC, watching HD movies is excellent as some movies will show full screen in 16:9 ratio monitor compares with black bar on top and bottom for 16:10 screen. Gaming wise I have no problem playing World in Conflict in 1680x1050 resolution and everything still look sharp.

For console gaming, this monitor is simply excellent. Everything is now full screen with correct ratio... last time using 16:10, xbox 360 shows black bar on top and bottom and PS3 with stretch ratio which makes everything seem longer.

Ah... now I'm satisfy... and why I choose Dell? Due to limited choices at my place here, I would have to buy Dell or pay the same amount for Acer H2333H which spells ripped off in my mind. If I were given more choices in the first place like in KL, I may choose other brand if price is cheaper with same spec.

Nope... everything good. But the 360 1080p mode is not as sharp PS3's 1080P.

Guys... buy the Ultrasharp 24" lah.... RM1699 only...

Suddenly a bit regret to buy the S2409W... should have throw in more money to get the ultrasharp. Much better investment IMO should you plan to use it for like more than 5 years.

Yeah, I just got a s2409w recently and indeed the back light bleeding is pretty minimal. Besides, the color is so so much better than my old Dell 22". Now using dual monitor setup and my old 22" screen is very yellowish compares to my new monitor.

Don't worry, my S2409W also delivered with the VGA cable attached. It is not opened unit.
