New Dell U2412M on order
|
I ordered this to replace my Samsung that died and the Viewsonic 1080p I am currently using for my second monitor.
Basically, the plan is to move my Dell 2407WFP to my second monitor and use the 2412M as my main monitor.
I will post a bit of a review when I get it.
As for price, I got it this weekend for $300 (down from $400). It is also 1920x1200 and LED. Its funny because my Dell 2407 cost me $1200 when I purchased it back in July of 2006. At the time, the 24" size also made me sick. It took me 2 weeks to get used to it.

I have an old Dell 2405FPW that is slowly dying. I just don't want to bite the bullet on buying another 24" 16:10 IPS monitor before I have to.

If its the PSU, you can replace it.
I know when my 2407 finally dies, I will probably try and repair it.

It is the actual picture messing up, sadly. The screen is getting a yellow tint, and there is some pretty bad temporary burn-in for high contrast things left up on the UI for anything over a minute.

Could be the back light going, hard to say. My Dell 2407 is a bit yellowed after all these years as well, though not that noticable.

Ah Grats!
Monitors I have never die for some reason. I have a 2405WFP that is still going strong. I'm eyeing one of the new 27 inch UltraSharps with the 110% color gamut, but the darn things are about $1000, and I can't justify a purchase with my current one still working. Haha

So, you've had this for a bit (hopefully?)
I'm interested in what you think of it, especially since you also own my monitor's newer model.

Overall:
-Picture quality is very good, definitely better than a crappy TN panel of any type.
-There is no input lag at all.
-Ghosting/Motion Blur is the a bit better than my 2407, and that never bothered me. In other words, it is a non-issue.
-Video quality is pretty decent.
-Black contrast is pretty good, bit better than the 2407.
-Text is great (web browsing).
-the vertical viewing angle is NOT as good as my 2407, due to the type of panel. However, it is probably double that of a TN panel (ie- you have to raise or lower your head a lot more before image quality dives).
-I don't have proper color tweaking tools so it is on default.
After almost 1 month of use, I can give this LCD my seal
of approval.
If you are in the market for a new IPS LCD with 1920x1200 and you see this up for a good deal, pick it up.

I'm about to grab the U2312, two of them. Can't justify the extra $200 for 2" but I'm looking forward to having dual monitors again. Grabbed a Planar VESA stand as well.
