16:9 -- 16:10 ??

Hello all,

Going to be ordering Dell Ultrasharp U2311H 23" though currently using a 16:10 1680x1050 22"

What's the major driffence between 16:9 and 16:10(Apart from a little desktop space missing) for PC Gaming will it effect me in anyway?

Thanks,

Thanks guys for the replies, So it seems it won’t really be an issue. I will be doing a lot of gaming AND watching films etc, so I guess it isn’t really that big of a difference and as you said Duff-Man choice is limited.

Thanks for that crackerbear once again

I've also noticed the premium they expect us to pay for the 16:10 aspect ratio....

I don’t think it will bother me so much, Going by that video it looks a little smaller but something I can live with (I hope!!) Ordered and will be with me tomorrow

I went from a 1680x1050 to a 1920x1080 and was a little worried about going to 16:9 but tbh it doesn't bother me at all. You're still gaining 30 pixels of verticle space after all. If there were more 16:10 monitors around then I would probably go for them over a 16:9 but it doesn't really make that much difference imo.

Nice to know, Thanks mate!

Nice! I should be getting my U2311H tomorrow too. It seems others who ordered through the same deal as me have got revision A01, which from reports shows less tinting and backlight problems than the previous A00 models - this is a good sign

Oh nice one

I was going to do that deal but was a little concerned regarding consumer rights etc.. So I contacted OCUK and they confirmed their stock is A01 which is good so went ahead and ordered.

Good to hear all these reassuring post's, Now I can stop worrying about 'did I make a wrong decision?'
