Here's Dave Baumann, the 5800 series product manager, somewhat on the issue at hand:

quote:

While there are Six TMDS/DP transmitters, there are only 2 clock sources on the ASIC. The issue with legacy display is that they all need their own clock generator - as soon as you plug in two DVI/VGA/HDMI you run out of clock sources. DP can time multiple outputs from a single clock generator.




Goddamn my reading comprehension is terrible. Even after he came back to correct himself. You're completely correct about the context.

No, let's just straighten this out now so that it stops being an issue. The quote taken was only part of the full sentence, and so it was taken out of context and assumed to be talking about Eyefinity.

DrDork posted:

Like basically every card made in the last 5+ years, ATI cards incorporate a pair of physical chips that handle the digital output: this is what allows you to use two DVI ports simultaneously (or HDMI, or one of each). ATI takes this setup and tosses another bunch of circuitry in there to handle DisplayPort. The practical upshot is that an Eyefinity card can output at least 3 displays: 2x DVI/HDMI/VGA/whatever, and 1x DisplayPort.
He wasn't saying that cards from the past 5+ years had Eyefinity.

With a coupon I can get the Dell ST2320L for $135. This seems like a fairly good deal, I mostly just do email, write documentation and a little bit of programming on the side so I don't really need anything fancy and I'll probably be picking up 2 for the extra space.

Anything I should be wary of? I had no idea monitors were getting that low in price, especially with an LED backlight.

It's a TN panel, that's about it. If you read my description in the OP, viewing angles will suck. But it'll do just fine for email, text editing and programming. I have no idea how "bad" the viewing angles on these are, but it shouldn't be bad enough to preclude a dual-monitor setup.

Updated top posts with informations from thread (I'll probably do this once or twice a week or so). Question: Dell Uxxx = UltraSharp, IPS, Dell STxxx = Budget TN, Dell Pxxx = ? Are these blanket assignments accurate?

Also I feel like our recommendations are being a tad elitist; info on the various Acer, Asus, Samsung, etc displays would be cool. I think Samsung makes a lot of S-PVA-based monitors, which tend to get glossed over. A PVA/MVA would work great for shaitan too.

Yeah, I figure I don't need an IPS panel for my needs, I don't watch TV or play games on my computer and I wanted to spend less than $300 to get back my dual screens. This will look loads better than my 1024x768 CRT I've been using the last few years. I'm sold, ordered 2, should be rocking the dualies in about a week.

I don't see the point of having one great display if you aren't doing anything that utilizes it.

There isn't really any point to buying a higher quality screen when you don't need it. The minimum brightness is probably the only thing I'd worry about if all you're doing is text work, just to turn it down to a comfortable level so it doesn't burn your retinas.

I've just got a question, I got an Asus vw246 as a secondary monitor/TV for my xbox 360 and it's great, aside from one problem. The top of the screen is always a few shades darker than the bottom when dealing with certain colors. It's a bit of an annoyance, and I suppose it's to be expected on an LCD but I've never seen anything like it before. Can this be corrected by changing settings on the monitor or my video card control panel? I've been trying that as well as playing with the viewing angle and getting no satisfactory results. I'm wondering if I should RMA it and hope for the best.

It may be your viewing angle, it may be a bad monitor, or it may be simple limitations of it being a cheap TN panel. The reviews I found on a cursory glance were generally unimpressed with the visual quality (not that it was bad, per se, just not particularly good), noting banding, sharpness, and greyscale issues. You can certainly try RMAing and hoping for a better one, but there's not going to be a software setting that fixes that sort of thing, unless you're still running it with brightness/sharpness maxed out, in which case set them to 50% and see if that helps.

To follow up on the 2211 vs 2311 dilemma (I was concerned about the dot pitch) I went with the 23 and made the right choice. It looks perfectly sharp and I underestimated the game immersion factor of having your face a couple of feet from a 23" screen. Compared to the 19" I had before it's astounding! (I didn't think it'd make THAT much of a difference for gaming. Mainly bought it for the better colours)

Think I would've been disappointed with the 22 (21.5").

Dammit, I've had a U2410 on order with for the last 2 weeks awaiting stock, and the counters jumped back up to 2 weeks again.

In the UK, it seems buying direct from Dell is always almost more expensive than buying from a 3rd party retailer. I had the U2410 ordered from dabs for £448, yet Dell want £583. And now I can't find any other retailers that have it in stock - could this be a sign that a replacement in the 24" bracket is coming?

There's also the fact that Dell business are doing the U2711 with a big discount for £530 + vat, so £622 in total. So tempting...

Whatever I buy, I eventually want to get another of so I have a pair of matching displays, is 2x 27" actually too much monitor, if there is such a thing? For reference I need them for graphic design/illustrator work and currently have a NEC 26" 1920x1200 and crappy Dell 22" 1650x1050.

Edit: got it down to £577 delivered with 10% discount code...

Annoyingly, a significant reason I bought it was for colour accuracy and most of the time I care about that under OSX. Only these Dell monitors have some serious problems under OSX (which I'm certainly experiencing). Pinstripes.. just what I always wanted...

I can reduce the pinstripes a little (or at least move them from one shade to another) by screwing around with the gamma settings, but on the whole I'd currently recommend against this monitor for Macs - including Hackintoshes.

What is wrong with you? I've been reading this and the previous monitor thread for probably a year. Literally the only thing that has been established beyond a shadow of a doubt is that

The 2311 is great for the price for regular computing.
The 2410 is what you get if you care about color accuracy.

Are you so loving stupid that you saw this but didn't comprehend it? Or did you just not read the thread?

I know I sound like a dick but these two facts have been established umpteen times in this thread and your post is even more annoying to me than the 20th person posting "what's the best value in the 22-24" range?"

I've seen some people complain about that. Mac OS X seems to do some kind of dithering since I can calibrate without getting banding. My guess is the Dell also does some kind of dithering, which is clashing with the dithering being done in Mac OS X. I haven't tested the Dell to know for sure, but I've seen something similar happen with the Samsung F2380.

If you're using a Mac, I recommend the NEC EA231WMi instead. It costs a little more, but it also has an IPS panel and is similar to the Dell, except without the pinstriping problem.

EDIT: This is now resolved, see the link at the bottom.

I can read perfectly fine, both here and the multitude of external reviews.

There's nothing wrong with the colour accuracy of the 2311. Yes the 2410 is even more perfect and fantastic and all the rest of it... colour accuracy on monitors is a relative thing. I chose the 2311 over various TN panels because of colour accuracy, I also chose it over the 2410 because of budget. It's called a "reasonable compromise" (my guess from your penchant for raging is that "reasonable" and "compromise" are not concepts you're too familiar with)
If you think that colour accuracy is not a valid reason to choose it over some random TN panel, GTFO.
I also said "a significant" reason not "the main" reason.

What I am seeing is a compatibility problem in OS X, that only affects OS X, the monitor is absolutely fantastic under Windows.

Perhaps it's you who needs to read properly.

(Spare us the inevitable YOSPOS too please)

That doesn't justify your ridiculous response. There's nothing stupid about using a cheaper IPS monitor for color accuracy, especially if you need something close to sRGB.

In fact, I don't know where you got the idea that the U2410 is better for color accuracy. If you need something close to sRGB, it's actually worse because the excessively wide gamut oversaturates everything except in a small number of color-managed programs, and the sRGB mode is actually worse than a cheaper IPS monitor and is also less functional since the color adjustments are disabled. It's supposed to be factory calibrated, but people have gotten monitors that don't match because it doesn't have uniformity compensation, so brightness and color variations across the panel affect the factory calibration, which defeats the purpose of factory calibration in the first place.

If you really care about color accuracy and need to work with wider gamuts, then you'd want a higher-end monitor like the NEC PA241W, which costs more. Otherwise, you'd be better off with something like the HP ZR24W if you want 1920x1200.

That's very interesting, but for some reason they've singled out NVIDIA when I know for sure there's dithering with ATI Macs as well.

I would still recommend the NEC EA231WMi over the Dell U2311H for Mac users simply because I've verified myself that the NEC EA231WMi works on both NVIDIA and ATI Macs without any trouble.

Edit: You've scrolled too far if looking for the Mac pinstripe link :)

Sense... thank you. That too. Edit in response to edit: I have an ATI card which I will try tonight amongst other things. It's not beyond the realms of possibility to return the Dell and get the NEC either, but I really do like the Dell one for everything else so it's a tough choice.

TBH it's a matter of how much one cares about colour accuracy. I fall under roughly the category of "I surf the web, sip lattes, blog about poo poo no one cares about, and edit my terrible photography to share with my family. Sometimes I will slum with the proletariat and play video games" (to quote the OP).

Because I screw around with photography a bit - as a hobby, nothing more - I do care about the colours to a degree. I.e. having an increased chance of looking the same on other people's screens (or more to the point on my own future screens). This makes it a factor in the choice of an affordable and respected IPS unit, along with other factors like generally finding many TN panels visibly bad at the larger sizes - probably due to a combination of size, viewing angle, proximity to display and the laws of physics/geometry.

However it's not for crucial professional graphics work where your colours need to be absolutely 99.999999% correct or better which is why I didn't choose to spend twice as much (or many times more) on a professional grade monitor.

In essence I care about it enough to choose the model that I did. This kind of thing is a personal choice based on weighing up several factors (colours being just one of them) and not really worthy of much of a public debate let alone a scathing attack.

Anyway I have a few things to try tonight. It's mostly looking like Snow Leopard being lovely (a concept regarding Snow Leopard that I'm getting quite accustomed to. Leopard was the high point of OSX, IMHO. But that's just a personal opinion, no need for anyone to go off on one) If this is the case it's not Dell's fault it's not the ideal option, it's just... not the ideal option.

Is it any game in particular that does this? I've had some problems in the past with certain games being unable to 'capture' the mouse cursor so you can move off onto the other screen, but I think it's dependant on the game. Gaming and dual monitors is rarely an elegant affair :( Also what OS?

Also, anyone had problems with the AG coating on Dells? I've heard that it is particularly aggressive/noticable on the u2711, and some people go as far as major warranty-voiding surgery to remove it and convert their screen to glossy.

Assuming it's the same as on the 2311 yes it is quite aggressive. To me it's not a problem unless I'm sitting with my nose to the screen actively looking for "problems" (a dangerous pastime as you end up spotting things you wouldn't have noticed without careful scrutiny, but which you can't then un-see) but YMMV.

It's probably worth trying to find one on display somewhere if you think it could bother you.

Personally I thought "okay, fairly aggressive coating, grainy if I get really close but there must be a good reason for it" and my subconscious kind of accepted that answer and stopped noticing. Don't think I'd turn it glossy - now that *is* distracting if your light sources aren't perfectly positioned - it drove me nuts on my now-sold iMac. It's entirely a personal preference though.

There isn't anything system-wide you can do to fix this; it's something that the game devs have to bother enabling. It sounds like you want what's called "Full-screen windowed" mode, which (as its name implies) makes the game run in full screen, but act like it's windowed so you can mess around with other programs and whatnot. For games that don't support this, ShiftWindow can fake it pretty well, but you may run into issues with how the game handles things when you mouse off to somewhere else. Worth a look, anyhow.

It ends up being strongly personal preference. People coming from glossy displays are more likely to be driven batty by it, since they'll immediately see the difference. On the other hand, people coming from non-glossy displays probably won't notice anything unless they load up a blank white page and look for it. As LakesGuzzler notes, it might be worth it to see if you can see one in person if you think you might be sensitive to this issue.

I traded my U2211H because of the anti-glare coating. Photographs and video looked great. I really wanted to like it, but any text on a white background was almost intolerable to me because of the AG coating. I think the small dot pitch on the 21.5" makes the effect worse.

It's not that I'm just being overly picky, white documents and forums were actually very difficult for me to read. I've heard that wearing glasses might make the effect worse, maybe that's partially why it bothers some people so much more than others.

If the Macbook is powered by an NVidia chip (I think so?) then there's no reason not to. You may see the pinstripe / banding effect but it's an easy fix now that we know how.

It's hard to describe the issue and the scale of impact that it has... basically solid areas of particular shades - mostly visible with grey, which features a lot in the OS X UI and forums like this one - end up as alternating stripes of light, dark, light, dark. It seems whatever your gamma setting there is a "killer shade" (the canvas colour in Photoshop for mine) where it's really obvious but the rest may depend on eyesight which would explain why there aren't thousands of posts about it. Mine's pretty much 20/20.

The link I posted does go into excessive depth... in a nutshell download NVinject from here: http://support.crsltd.com/FileManagement/Download/829619657b484700ab7e57de5b88a481
and type into Terminal (from the download location)
code:
sudo cp -R NVinject.kext /System/Library/Extensions/
and reboot.

If it's ATI you may be out of luck (unless you're not as fussy) and better off getting the alternative that ToastyX posted.

I'll stop hogging the thread so much now but basically after a couple of days I've not felt distracted by the AG coating. I am *now* because the subject came back to mind, I ended up looking for it and now I can't un-see it for a while, but in general use I don't notice it at all if my face is a a reasonable distance (2-3ft) from the display.

If I'm honest in the grey colours (say on this forum, when you hit reply) and to a lesser extent on white it's sort of visible to a 3D effect as if that part of the image is a centimetre or two in front of the actual display. It's only if I'm actively looking for it though, and it's alleviated by turning the brightness down from "my eyes are bleeding" to "ahh that's better". (45% is working for me today. 75 is way too bright for me.)

It's a little more aggressive but in general doesn't seem too dissimilar to any other matte display and I BY FAR prefer it from glossy. Again, YMMV, try to see one in person before buying etc.
