Theres a special offer which ends on 31oct for a dell u2311, should i get it or wait for BenQ XL2410 which has all the bells and whistles, even though i know its a TN panel.


Been in 2 minds about monitors all week.
 
well, dell has the input lag beat for a ips panel, and sharpness beat, and colour beat, from what gather (from around the web, but same say its a bit weak compared to others, most seem to be okay with it). And like to lay back and view movies, and so the dell gives me that 178 degree. Also i play games. But this panel only goes to 60hz.


And by sod's law, know with in a month something will come out and beat it or be cheaper.


But BenQ XL2410 has more connection options and is 120hz but is a Tn panel, and should be way cheaper. Im but not bothered about 3d gaming, but 75hz has also been my standard crt old skool.


Grr i hate having to choose. when theres no one has been declared the monitor winner.

roll on OLED please.
 
grr, special offer for cheaper u2311 or wait for the XL2410T, after seeing other post with vids off it it looks okay, just wished i had anther game playing other than Cs and had a independent, gamer viewer, than a sponsored one.

But i am leaning towards the XL2410T for the 120hz, i have 11 hrs to decide ahhh!!
 
just noticed in spec it is has vesa, so i guess i can buy a desk arm and angle it any way i want. If only it had the new 3000:1 instead of
Contrast Ratio 1000:1 this monitor would be the grand slam!

I ordered on wed, make that thur 1:30am, yesterday it went through Netherlands to Brussels, and now this morning it is in Barking London, and they say it will be coming on the Monday!!, UK sucks lol.well estimated.

Im hoping it comes today or tomorrow.
 
well if PCM2 review say go buy the xl2410 we can sell in time for x-mas on ebay :P

And what the hell, it says its coming monday, yet it says it left tamowrth 4 hrs ago, hope its not going a round trip round UK
 
Got it today,( Ao1, oct 2010, czech republic made) settings where okay, just made brightness and contrast to 85 and custom RGB.
Extra setting using black electric tape ofc to cover the power button. :) standard on all mointors.

only prob is a small fraction of a degree, the monitor goes to the right.

small problem, but trying to think how to solve it with sticky tape? maybe the having this portrait mode is more trouble than its it worth.

okay i try that,

picture quality uber, just as better than the old crt i was using, or the old dell lcd panel i was using, the colours are i think are accurate. Well to my eye anyway, not done much in tweaking. maybe there will be a webpage or something which may look a bit off, but not so far. looks good.

Just wished it was 23.6" :P not just 23" but cant have everything you sacrifice something for something else in the monitor game, i went with colour and viewing angles.



Found a quick solution i put some tissue paper under the stand solves it :P

i think i have a bad light bleed, its on the left bottom conner, i would say it around 4" radius from the conner. anyone else has this with this batch of u2311h?


Also dell sent me 2 invoices crazy, 2 of the same letter. anyone else?
 
my bleed is bad i think, you can really see it on blacks, and it mocks me, i know its there. while im watching stuff, the other corners have small about of bleed, but not as bad as that left bottom corner. or am wrong, coz it depends where you view it from, if you go under it it sort of goes away, but its there at eye level.
