The U2410 is better than the 2412M. The price appears to be Canada only.

Is it better than the U2412, which Dell now has for $299? Thanks.

The 2412 uses a cheaper form of IPS panel. Colors aren't quite as accurate, blacks aren't as dark, etc IIRC. There are also not as many options for connections (no DisplayPort on 2412 IIRC).

Basically if you're not a professional using it in that arena, or don't care if you have super accurate colors... go with the 2412

The colour gamut (the range of possible displayed colours) is lower on the U2412m, at 71% NTSC vs 102% NTSC for the U2410. This only really matters for professional photographers with aRGB equipment! If you don't have aRGB equipment... it's detrimental. The increased gamut means that it tends to show many colours incorrectly (oversaturated). It also uses 10-bit internal processing, meaning there would be (theoretically) less banding in colour gradients. In practise this doesn't seem to be an issue according to TFTcentral and my own experiences with a U2312hm, which also uses a 6bit+FRC panel like the U2412m.

The U2412m also has higher contrast, meaning that it typically gets blacker blacks than the U2410. And the U2412m has less input lag than the U2410.

It definitely does have displayport, VGA and DVI, but the U2410 also has 2 DVI, HDMI, Component input and composite input. And a card reader.

U2412hm vs U2410?

If you have aRGB equipment (cameras, printers, calibrator) then the U2410 is a necessity. If you do photo editing without said aRGB equipment, the U2410 is definitely better, but not an absolute necessity over the U2412hm. If you are not either of the above, then the U2412hm will serve you better than the U2410.

Yeah I didn't care to think that much last night. Thanks for clarifying :p

Although a higher contrast ratio doesn't automatically mean better blacks ;)
