I really looked hard into the specs of the U2412M as a monitor is fantastic but doesn't match my needs personally. Such as 1080p over 1200p 120 hz over 60hz and 2ms response over 6ms.

2ms vs 6ms is nothing
120hz over 60hz yes I agree,hope you got good gpu

Asus DirectCUII GTX 580 @ 952 mhz Core clock

Do you know what would be nice; I monitor that will display before BIOS has been and gone.

Quick question and to slightly hijack the thread: Is the dell U2312HM the same as the dell U2412M but just an inch smaller, or are there greater differences? I can't really find any differences on the spec...

It's an inch smaller and the U2312HM has a resolution of 1920x1080 whereas the U2412M has a resolution of 1920x1200. Main differences I know of.

Ah yes, I forget the aspect is 16:10 for the U2412M whereas it's 16:9 for the U2312M. Does the resolution make a big difference and is the U2312HM still worth it bearing in mind it's around £190 or are there better options?

LukieBoy007 · 23 Jul 2012 at 19:44

U2312M was around £160 last time I saw.

Is it worth paying the extra £30 for the U2412M or not, is there that much of a noticeable difference (other than screen size).

MOOGLEYS · 23 Jul 2012 at 20:20

I find 1920x1200 to make quite a difference over 1080p. You gain noticeable desktop space and it's not as hard a hit on a gpu like 2560x1440...

Really need Asus ; iiyama comparisons more than anything? Anyone with either of those brands and tried a Dell?

jimhaumman · 24 Jul 2012 at 19:39

why you want compare them yourself?order them from amazon they got brilliant return policy,30days no reson,they will arrange return for you if you not happy with monitor,i went through three before i kept dell u2412m

horrorxpunk · 24 Jul 2012 at 23:31

Thanks Jim that's good advice; I am seriously considering the Dell U2412M (or better model) and the Asus VE248H because I actually really like the design; and specifications. I think if I am really not happy with the ASUS I will return it and purchase the DELL :-)

thanks for your help guys

horrorxpunk · 29 Jul 2012 at 22:33

Hey guys I bought the Asus VE248H in the end and I'm glad I did the image is absolutely beautiful and perfect; million times better than my iiyama E2407HDS was. Going to spend some time calibrating the monitor properly to get the best image but it already looks amazingly vibrant. I got a really great deal from amazon warehouse on a returned item and I think it's perfectly good and didn't need to spend the extra £100 on a Dell monitor... although I think the dells look amazingly colourful I just couldn't justify the extra dosh and spent it on a HAF932 at computer fair today instead
