Anyone?

 

That's a good monitor, and you've found a fantastic price. Do it and don't look back!

Thanks! I saw this on dell.com for 380$ so i figured free shipping and 1 year extended warranty for 300$ is a great price

Just wondering if there are better monitors for that price. I know nothing about monitors and ips panels.

 

excellent monitor, but you could be getting a 1440p korean monitor for that price

ps thanks for the gt 430 hehe

 

I have to say that the U2412M is an amazing monitor. I recently purchased one and wasn't sure if I would like it due to the response time as I mainly use it for gaming. The monitor exceeded every expectation that I had. I cannot think of another monitor that I would rather have in place of it.

haha your very welcome!

my card would not like 1440p

 

Have 3 of the 21.5" versions and love them, no doubt the 24" would be just as good

Dont get me wrong. The 480 is a fantastic card for the price! got it for 209$ but i do see it hit pretty high v-ram usage on my 1080p monitor in skyrim and bf3. I just think that 1400p would make it so i would have to sacrifice settings.

 

For the most part..U2412M is the IPS gamer's choice (excluding Korean IPS models, and 120hz monitors).

no kidding. the 1.5gb vram really chokes beyond 1200p... Not to mention this thing can fry an egg from the inside out.

 

I am interested in these monitors. How do they compare to the comparable sized 120hz montors?

 

You could of got it here for $280 http://www.provantage.com/dell-469-1137~BDELL1VY.htm But im still debating on these or these 27 ASUS VE278Q http://www.provantage.com/asus-ve278q~7ASU91H8.htm

 

Great purchase. I plan on getting one myself soon!

 

excelent choice...

I use one, love it. Love the Dell Ultrasharps. Have both a 2407wfp and U2412M.

 

I have 2 of these screens and really love them. They are awesome screens as others have said, my only complaint is that they don't come in 3 packs for a cheaper price lol. Just about to get my 3rd one in the next couple weeks, cant wait.

You will love this screen, great buy.

 

I'm currently contemplating on whether I should pick up the U2412M. I recently bought myself an XL2420T but ended up sending it back as the colors were god awful even after I calibrated it. In terms of input lag, when it comes to gaming, would an average player like myself notice a difference between an IPS and that of a 2ms TN panel? Would there also be a major difference in Blu Ray's on an IPS vs a TN?

not trying to be a jerk, but you should make a thread about it..

Some of the IPS monitors have extremely low input lag, because like most TN monitors, they don't really have any electronics inside to process the signal. Response time is of course not going to be as good as decent TN models. In fact a lot of the eIPS stuff has lower input lag than the fast 120 Hz gaming monitors.

However, some TN monitors have really bad reverse ghosting, so in effect the pixel responsiveness really is worse than some properly-overdriven IPS monitors.

You can see the input lag and pixel responsiveness for the U2412HM here (note some overshoot there, so some reverse ghosting...but not a terrible amount):

check around vs. BenQ XL2420T (typical fast 120 Hz TN) and an LG IPS235V (slower less-aggressive IPS)

Ultrasharps have very low input lag, particularly the U2312HM. It is by far the best monitor I have ever used for anything, gaming included.

 

Good purchase ITS OVER 9000!. I just picked up 2 of these myself. My company gets a discount through Dell.com, so I pulled the trigger. I had just bought 2 HP 2711x, but, at the right price for a better monitor IMO, and an IPS at that, switching those out for the Dells as well worth it. .Luckily I had a friend in the market for a new 27 inch monitor, so he bought one of those off of me.

I will have to get used to the AG, seeing as I have no desire to attempt its removal at this point. That may change in the future, but for now, I am happy .

Again, good choice.
