*** Dell UltraSharp U2410 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor @ £447.99 inc VAT ***

Wow, I kind of got my wish quickly there in my previous post saying they could bring down the price of high-end monitors. If it came down by another 20 notes then I'd have ordered right away.
 
Nothing that I know of. Some nice IPS monitors coming from LG early next year but they're LED backlight and seem to be going for style over substance. Could be interesting but not comparable to the U2410.

Are there any other TFTs coming out soon that may dethrone the mighty U2410 24" ?

There are a lot of nice monitors out there, but at the moment the U2410 is probably the best, unless you're thinking of going for something that costs a few thousand.

The more I tinker with this monitor's settings (the sRGB/AdobeRGB settings & brightness/contrast) the happier I get with it. Absolutely brilliant thing!

I'd love to get it calibrated probably down to <1.0 Delta-E (TFT Central had their review model on 0.3!), maybe when I'm feeling rich again or if I find somebody to lend me one as I just can't justify spending £100+ on a calibrator that I'll only use once every few months, or every year. I did try an ICC profile from TFTCentral and man it was nasty. Too much blue and 100% inaccurate! I suppose every monitor is 'different'.

Interesting post here by a Dell guy if anyone's interested. It is a few months old, but very informative: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/t/19314620.aspx

You could try this, which Somnambulist pointed me to. You easily qualify for it so should try to get yourself on the list.

I just updated my A01 to A02 via the firmware in that link. Really quick and easy. No idea what it has changed.
 
Well, Seeing as my Dell 2407 died last week (I think its the inverter, i'll order one shortly and see :)) Followed by the Enermax PC PSU on the same day....

I've taken advantage of the this week only offer and my shiney new u2410 arrives tommorrow. Heres hoping for no dead pixels and when the inverter on the 2407 is fixed I'll have 2 :D

I have to say it not until you have to use a crappy monitor that you realise just how good these Dell's are!

It's a pretty damn good price on TWO :). I'm sorely tempted :cool:......

Though I find it kinda funny looking at the price in the OP when it was launched over a year ago!
 
Well what, realistically, would you buy?

Put yourself in my shoes :D I had a great Dell 2407. What is out there at the same size and specification that is as good if not better now? As for the price well when I bought my Original 2405 which was replaced by dell under warrenty with the 2407 it was around £800.

So for me its still cheaper this time around.

In the end its down to what I think is value for money for me. I could have bought it around £100 cheaper elsewhere. However that supplyer is also a purveyor of anusol and feminie hygene products. Unlike OcUK which, to my knowlege, sell neither.

I will however expect OcUk's usual great customer service if I am less than 100% satisfied with this monitor. Unlike what I might expect from the alternative supplier :D

So sometimes it not the money thats the important thing :D
 
Does the U2410 have the EXACT same mount spacing as the 2408wfpb?

need them to allign them EXACTLY.

As in they need to be in the exact same place on the back of the monitor :P

If so im buying one

I would have probably paid the extra and bought the U2711 or maybe paid less and bought a HP ZR24w. Dont take this as im saying its a bad screen cus im not. I think its the dogs! Its pretty perfect as monitors go in my eyes.
 
Hello,

I've read PS3 Slim has issues with this monitor. Did someone try this combination? This is preventing me pulling the trigger.

Kind regards.

Ahh I see where your coming from. Thing is to me the HP is a downgrade.

I fancy the 3011 in the new year maybe so this way I can turn both screens 90 degrees and sit them either side. Not something I can do with the 2711........

Anyway, so far really impressed with the u2410! No dead pixels and no tinting :D Rev A02.

Unless you know something I don't, without a mount you can't turn the stock U3011 stand 90 degrees for portrait.
