i know somebody who ordered the monitor on Black Friday. Dell keeps delaying his order. He literally ordered it minutes after it went live.


Mine was shipped on Dec 1, should be here tomorrow I hope.

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.
