    U2311H or 2209WA for gaming

    The technician called me today at noon and was at my house within 10 minutes. He brought a new monitor of the same model, and the same revision and date manufacturing date (REVA02, Mfg: Feb 2011) which was the same as the one I bought and seems to be the latest. The monitor was replaced...

    U2311H or 2209WA for gaming

    After a few tiering days, I was finally able to contact Dell Israel technical support, and to my great surprise I was not disappointed. Dell's representative told me that a tech will call me next week to coordinate his time of arrival at my house. He also said that he'll come with the same...

    U2311H or 2209WA for gaming

    What that'll happen is that, after hearing my complaints, Dell will want to take the monitor to their lab to test it, and since there is nothing wrong with it, they'll say that it's fine, and i'll end up wasting my time and with a monitor for a couple of days. While there is a very, very slim...

    U2311H or 2209WA for gaming

    all revisions of the U2311H have tinting issues as far as i've read. While I was provided with a spec it did not state whether I should expect tinting issues or not (like backlight bleeding is not shown in specs, you can't determine a yes or no answer on those things) and as a result, they...

    U2311H or 2209WA for gaming

    Short story of what happened to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HI5bazK7FE Long story is that the screen was locked and didn't respond, while I tried to unlock it several times, it just got locked back again, and menu took about 60 seconds from the moment I clicked the button in the screen...

    U2311H or 2209WA for gaming

    I have been reading on Dell's policy regarding a full refund or at least a replacement, and while Dell US are stating that this policy apply for most of their products, it is stated in the Hebrew Dell Israel page like this: Full refund (US only) So I really doubt if they would have put the "US...

    U2311H or 2209WA for gaming

    supremor - there is a gaming mode, it doesn't matter much on windows itself, might be for games, didn't test it yet. As for replacing the monitor I know that the store that I bought it from has a no-return policy and I doubt whether Dell Israel will replace it (while there isn't something...

    U2311H or 2209WA for gaming

    Thanks everyone for their comments here and in the previous post. You were very helpful and got me in the right direction. and I wanted to get the 2209WA but they could only supply it to me at the end of the week, and I didn't know if my old monitor will last until then so I ended up buying the...

    U2311H or 2209WA for gaming

    After almost an entire month of endless searching (getting google page to 50+) and asking around, while changing my mind a hundred times over which monitor to choose, I have reached the conclusion that getting an IPS panel will be best for me. Take into consideration a few facts: 1. as far as...

    IPS or TN for a gamer?

    A decent IPS with a larger screen (and resolution for that matter) is way over my budget so that's a no go for me unfortunately. Ok, thanks all for the comments, since now the only decision is between IPS, and I have changed my mind about the monitor like 200 times over the last month, and many...

    IPS or TN for a gamer?

    Ok, I am going to the store today and I am pretty much set up my mind about the Dell U2311H, and i'm really hoping to get some response by the time i'll go out. But consider the fact that here I can't replace anything if there isn't something technically wrong with it, so whatever i'll buy is...

    IPS or TN for a gamer?

    So to the best of my understanding it comes down to: Dell U2311H vs Samsung 2233RZ 120Hz And I also understand from your replies that no other TN monitor (at least in the 300$ price range) can compete with the U2311H ability, even when it comes to games. I don't feel the need to push games...

    IPS or TN for a gamer?

    Well, I don't tend to play much FPS games now, but I don't know how it will be in the future and would like to keep that option open. There is no argue that the Dell U2311H is better, question is if this specific IPS monitor's quality is worth over one of those TNs for my main use, which is...
