Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24-Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor

Few days ago when I wanted to find interesting monitor for my review in middle price range, lets say about $150-$200, I have seen tons of them on Amazon store. So, how can you decide which one is good for you? Well, there are tons of stuff that you can check before you make your decision, but, why would you ever think about more expensive computer monitor? Before you go away and check monitor that is almost two times cheaper, spend few moments and read my article dedicated to Dell UltraSharp U2412M.

Honestly, there are numerous reasons why you need to consider Dell UltraSharp U2412M for your next purchase so lets compare it with competition. First of all, most of the devices have 1920x1080 resolution while Dell decided to make this one a bit different, in 1920x1200 pixel resolution. Believe me when I say, those 120 pixels seams ridiculous but they do make a difference. Just remember how many times you had to scroll page just a little bit to see whole image, to read PDF document or fix a document. That tiny bit of space is more important than you can imagine right now.

Most of the monitors that are cheap on the market came with low quality TN LCD panels instead of much higher quality IPS panels. As you can figure out, this computer monitor from Dell has IPS panel that is able to reproduce amazing quality colors without over saturating them, with good viewing angles and sharp text. TN displays tend to shift colors depending on how and where you look at the display, vertical shifting is easiest to spot (you have looked at laptop displays so I do believe that you understand what I'm trying to say).

IPS displays do not have this problem. Viewing angles are about 178 degrees, so you will see colors even when you look far from the side. Well, U2412M is not capable of reproducing wide gamut, so if you spend a lot of time in Adobe RBG color space you should consider a bit better monitor, if you don’t know why wide gamut is important then you do not use it and you do not need it, this monitor is surely for you.

Additionally, you are able to be adjusted vertically so you will get right viewing angle whenever you want. With old monitors, you were in situation to put phone book or some old catalogs under the screen while with this one you will never do that again. It is cool addition, I know. Well, those are just few things that you should know about this monitor that makes it different from the most on the market. When taking about specifications and capabilities, let me list you some data.

Dell UltraSharp U2412M is LED back light powered wide display screen with 24 inch resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio utilizing IPS panel technology. It is able to produce amazing color quality, brilliant view, sharp text and cool flexibility suited for most office and home users. It is specially tailored to provide more working space and suite your viewing preferences.

Of course, it comes with all other fancy marketing gibberish like environmentally friendly, responsible materials, brightness adjustment, energy stars and bunch of other fancy words that in reality say that it is made just like any other monitor on the market. What is more important, it has USB port so you can pop in your flash memory when needed.

Now, even I have not fully calibrated it right out of a box when I wanted to check it, I was pretty satisfied with how all colors and text looked right out of the box. You will not need to put yourself through this extra step if you don’t really care about colors as it will look amazing from the first time you turn it on. With just a few clicks inside navigation, you will be able to change colors to suit your needs and that is about all you will have to do.

In overall, I was more than happy with U2412M right out of the box. Price is good, maybe a bit higher than competition but anyway, you will get much more. It is really great value monitor and if you plan to use it for you're personally or even professionally, you will be more than satisfied. According to user feedback around the web, you will notice that it is great computer monitor to have so consider it, those 120 pixels can make your life much easier for sure.

3 middle price range computer monitors

When I was thinking about computer monitor for myself, size was one issue. Since I'm spending most of my working day in front of it, I have decided to go for 23 inch wide LED IPS monitor. After a year of watching it, I may say that I would be happier with 27 inch, not because bigger is better, but because I really have that feeling. Anyway, a year ago I have bought LG monitor since it was best priced IPS (cheapest) monitor but at this point, I would go for one of next three.

ViewSonic VX2703MH-LED 27-Inch LED-Lit LCD Monitor

On my list for this article, this ViewSonic 27 inch wide monitor is the cheapest. That doesn't mean that it is the worst; that means that it is chosen by me as one of the interesting. When talking about performance and capabilities, this is well equipped device. First of all, as it names says, it is 27 inch wide LED monitor with full HD native 1920x1080 pixel resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. Moreover, it is capable to sense 4:3 images to not stretch it which may be handy for some people.

Also, it has 10M:1 dynamic contrast ratio for good brightness and amazing image reproduction so image shown will be sharp, vivid while text will be crisp and easy to read. It comes with HDMI and DVI inputs with HDCP, 3 ms response time (I do believe for gray-to-gray) and it has integrated power and built in speakers. Basically, it is good home and great office computer monitor. ViewSonic VX2703MH comes with 100x100mm VESA compliant for wall mount or monitor stands.

After going through tons of user reviews, I have noticed mixed opinions. Most of everyday users state that they are amazed with this LED monitor and they would buy it again while high demanding users state that it is not as good as $100-200 monitors. Well, as expected! For list price of $240 you cant find much better computer monitor for sure!

Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24-InchScreen LED-lit Monitor

Once you decide to purchase monitor, you will find tons in $150-$200 price range, but why would you go for twice as expensive? Because, you are looking for something more, and this Dell UltraSharp U2412M is that "more" that you want! Most computer monitors are nowadays with 16:9 aspect ratio and 1920x1080 pixel resolution, while this one is 1920x1200 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio and believe me, those 120 pixels make difference once you start using it.

When talking about package, performance and capabilities, I would say that it comes with DVI-D with HDCP connection, 1 DisplayPort, 1 VGA, 1 USB 2.0 upstream and 4 USB 2.0 downstream ports. Also, it comes with 3 year limited warranty. Moreover, it is IPS display that is capable of reproducing true image without blur, with great colors and without over saturation. Additionally, you are able to shift it vertically and see more of the webpage or your document when reading without worry that there will be some kind of color problem. It is just amazing!

Now, users that bought it are, of course, more than satisfied with all those capabilities and fancy stuff that $280 monitor can give you. All of them prize image quality and great color gamut, brightness and sharpness. Well, only thing that they would like to add is card reader. Yes, that would be nice but in overall, for this price you can buy much better. If you have decided that 24 inch display is enough and you are ready to pay less than $300 for it, than there is no much more to be said. Just go for this one!

ASUS MX279H 27-Inch ScreenLED-Lit Monitor

Are you looking for something really special? For a real gem for an affordable price? Well, ASUS MX279H is something special for sure! Beautiful design, something that will blow away anyone when they just look at it. MX 279H is beautiful, ultra slim 27 inch wide IPS display with 178 degree viewing angle. It supports Full HD 1920x1080 pixel resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio. ASUS put extra effort and equipped it with 80M:1 smart contrast technology that will deliver very vivid and live like image quality. Moreover, you will find two 3 watt speakers just in case that you need them.

Let's put aside that great look, when talking about pros and cons of MX279H we can say that it is very stable on its stand, its thin with near to edge matte screen. Color reproduction is more then excellent, image is very bright and sharp with even LED backlight with almost none backlight bleed. Touch controls are fluid and easy to use. On a plus side, I may add that it has dual HDMI input for additional source. On a negative side, I could say that ports on this monitor are aligned perpendicular to the monitor which may bother some users as cable management can be a bit more complicated. Also, if you are a hardcore player, you will notice that it is not the quickest on the market.

In overall, for the list price at the moment of about $310 you can buy many interesting monitors, but this one just sticks out. It is beautiful, 27 inch wide display that you will love for sure. If you are not a hardcore gamer than you will be more than satisfied. There is not much more to be said, this could be next on my purchase list!
