you could also use a thunderbolt to displayport cable (or rather mini dp to full dp cable) correct? because iirc the u2711 has a full dp port.

Previously, i had install 2GB x 1 and 1GB x 1 ...thats why 3GB...

But today i already upgrade the 1GB stick to 2GB thats why total of 4GB of ram...but still in window show me 3GB of ram

But in OSX it shows me, i got 4GB of ram which is fine for me...Thats why i wondering why windows only show me 3GB of ram instead i got 4GB plug-in since 32Bit windows support 4GB ram ...

I stand corrected. Yes it does. After checking the back of mine, it is a DP cable.

between trying to work on a logo for a client, playing catherine on the ps3 and replying to this thread, my brain is in a bigger jumble than ever atm #_#

osx is a 64 bit .. well os. while your windows is currently 32bit. it'll only utilize up to 3gb of ram.


ditto. but i myself can't deny the fact that for cost effectiveness, dell topples the rest. if only samsung would update their hi-res lineups soon.

Huh?? Oh..gosh...

yeah, even if on ms' site it states the following -



there's a clear difference between what it'll recognize, and utilize. the latter is what you're seeing, which is 3~gb

The picture show 4GB worr...But mine is Window Vista Ultimate x86 version... so how bro??

Okay bro, nvm i get it d...I research d..32bit windows sucks alot..=.=ll

might consider delete the partition and booted with 64bit ..izzit possible??

anytime for Bravia HX or NX?

i too have to agree that Dell is never in any list considered a Bling Factor...but the prices are very encouraging!
i was thinking the price is 1k+ for the 27"...but at 2299...
i might as well stretch a bit for the Thunderbolt! =D
but...
there's always a but...
the Thunderbolt display can only be connected to 1 Mac!
So basically if i take the thunderbolt display...i can consider throwing away my WIndows PC! =(

Any other good monitor suggestions for 1920 x 1200?
Or any monitor with Dual DVI-D will make me very happy!

Added on September 29, 2011, 7:30 amOh damn me!
I m looking at the Dell website now and they have the 1920x1200 with 2 DVI-D ports!
BUT....
the price is almost like the 27"!

This is not good!

could you state the exact model of your 23" samsung? samsung isn't exactly "cap ayam" >_<"

2370HD?
thats ayam rite?


Now i cannot concentrate at work thinking of the IPS DELL!

it might be old but it isn't exactly cap ayam..it's just that you're trying to connect a well, pc (or mac) to a tv! ) anyways, is the current hdmi cable you're using >2m long? there're two things you could try that'd be more cost efficient.

1. trying a better grade hdmi cable, a good 1m belkin cable would cost you around rm90~ or so.

2. hdmi to dvi or vga plug head! (usually comes free with asus gpu's, not too sure about other brands


i'd recommend trying the second route and ghettoing it out first. don't rush on getting a new monitor, imo.

ka ching! all done! concentrate on making new money
only RM1999, the connection you got here is really good
*hint, Apple thunderbolt display share same panel as U2711

why you need dual DVI-D for 1920X1200 display?
no need for that

This post has been edited by cRazYee: Sep 29 2011, 01:41 PM

eh?
1999?
not 2299 meh?
how come only 1999?

That's significantly cheaper than when I bought mine. I was so excited to pick up mine, I went to Shah Alam to self collect myself. Trust me, it's awesome.

There is RM300 off with the coupon code shown on the right side .. D74SQWZ7R1BQLV ..
