Dell UltraSharp U2312HM IPS-Panel Black 23" 8ms Swivel & Height Adjustable Widescreen LCD Monitor with LED 300 cd/m2 2 Million:1 DCR (1000:1)

Pros: IPS Screen. Adjustable stand out of the box. No Dead Pixels. Great viewing Angles Great Color Range (white, black, brightness, contrast. Noticably nicer then the non IPS i use myself or used for friends.

Cons: Wasnt the 27+ Inch Model....friend was on a budget.

Overall Review: Bought this for a friend who needed a nice looking (both in form and function) for his work office. The Swivel was a must have because he views X-rays he takes on screen so being able to pivot the monitor makes it much easier seeing as he looks at 17 inch X-ray scans. Him and myself couldn't be happier. If you haven't had the pleasure of using an IPS screen for your home or work computer it is a must. The clarity and overall image quality if head ands shoulders above my 27 inch gaming rigs LED-LCD non IPS screen. He plans on changing all 5 of the rest of the monitors in his office with this model. For him to say that being a tight-wad you know it had a great impression.

Pros: My first IPS. Looks way better than my Sceptre-x24WG TN. Awesome colors. FPS gaming - this monitor performs better than my sceptre-x24WG as it has a lower input lag. I haven't seen any ghosting so far. Videos - Great colors, accurate tones. The stand is simply amazing. Sturdy, and has lots of adjustments to it. Nice menu.

Cons: In movies which are not 16:9, the black bars are a little distracting because they have a slight sheen to them. I think its the IPS glow that most IPS monitors are susceptible to, unfortunately. Doesn't have an HDMI port - I don't really care about this but its pretty much standard today.

Overall Review: Didn't buy it from newegg though, Dell has amazing deals on their monitors often and their monitor replacement/refund policy is excellent. I got mine for $245 shipped. The U2412m is the 16:10 alternative to this monitor. Its input lag is about 8ms higher than the U2312hm as measured by prad.de, but that difference is really small. Just pick one of the two based on preference in aspect ratio and cost. Note that LCD Overdrive is on by default. You can turn this off by entering the service menu.

Pros: Sturdy, highly-adjustable stand; small footprint; slim, unobtrusive case; good price (in theory).

Cons: I received an A00 revision, which I learned after some research has known issues with color reproduction. Color is very uneven across the screen, with noticeable shifts from warmer, yellower tones in some areas to cooler, blue tones in others. Backlight bleed seems a little high as well. Bottom line, you're gambling with which batch of these you get, as later revisions are apparently better.

Overall Review: I'm disappointed that Newegg accepts and resells stock of a product with a known defect from the manufacturer. They've been very easy to work with on returns - and kudos for that, seriously - but it's frustrating that I was sold a bum monitor in the first place.

Pros: - Crystal clear - Highly adjustable (display properties and stand rotation/swiveling) - Easy to navigate menus - 2x USB ports on the left side of the monitor come in handy - Great stock color, brightness, and contrast. Still customizable to suit personal needs if desired.

Cons: - Very slight bleeding on the bottom of both of my monitors, but does not detract from the display whatsoever. It's basically expected to some degree.

Overall Review: Completely worth the cost. If you're still on the fence about this monitor I highly recommend it. I've been using a 22" Acer monitor for three to four years now which was nice, but these monitors blow it out of the water. The only thing that I would have liked to see was HDMI input, but that doesn't take away from it at all. Order this immediately.

Pros: - Vibrant and accurate colors after calibration. You can calibrate it yourself or download an ICC profile. Google it. - SUPER BRIGHT! The brightness on 100 is blinding in a dark room. I keep it on 60. - Slim bezel and slick style. - The stand adjustments are awesome. Lots of range to pull the monitor up and down, tilt it forward and backward, and even to rotate it to portrait mode. The stand moves smoothly in all directions, it never feels like you're forcing it. - Works great for FPS gaming. I played Battlefield 3 with it and it looked gorgeous with no noticeable lag. Don't let the marketing fool you, you don't need a 2ms TN monitor for gaming. - It has a built-in USB 2.0 hub, with two ports in the back and two on the left side. - Dead simple to set up. Step 1: snap display into stand. That's it! - Comes with a DVI cable!

Cons: - The 3H anti-glare coating is a little aggressive. You'll only notice if you look for it, though. - 16:10 would have been nice. I'm not complaining though. My previous monitor was 1280x1024.

Overall Review: I would have bought three of these if I had the cash.

Pros: Fantastic color, black levels, and brightness. The response time is fantastic. Don't let the 8ms number get to you. This is a fantastic monitor for FPS games where latency is key. Bought mine on sale for $230, but $250 is still a great price for Dell's top of the line 1080p monitor. The menu buttons are very cleverly designed. It's very easy to use even in pitch dark.

Cons: No HDMI input.

Overall Review: The brightness settings go from 0 to 100. The monitor comes at 75 which is REALLLY bright. I set it down to 40 and it still is bright enough for daytime use. I'd bed that max brightness is good enough for outside daylight use.

Pros: -Sleek looking. -23" -The UI is very easy to navigate. -EASY installation -Packaged very well -Bought it less than $200 -No ghosting or input lag in games -games looks amazing and the viewing angles are great. - Arrived in TWO days and only payed $1 in shipping -I would buy another

Cons: Expensive. They're other IPS monitors there for much cheaper but this specific one doesn't have high response times like the others so I'll give it that. The way the other reviews make this monitor to seem like MAGIC so I had high expectations, but honestly can't see a very dramatic difference to my LCD TV and this when browsing the internet. -Gave me light eye strain for the first few days but I adjusted quickly afterwards.I had to get up every 20 minutes, walk around and look at something else. Even with all these cons it's I'm still very satisfied.

Overall Review: I mainly bought it for playing games and Photoshop and it does that extremely well. My games look amazing! I can see things with much more clarity with brilliant colors! People look more "alive" on it. I play Fighting Games so Input lag are a big deal for me, and I can't feel any lag . It's great! I won't go back to TN panels if I had the choice. There is an Energy Saving mode that changes the lighting and Contrast base on whats on the screen. You might (or not) want to disable that. And Remember "THERE'S NO ESCAPE" - Balrog

Pros: The color representation is fantastic! I am seeing colors that I didn't even know existed. So far I am very happy with the quality of these displays especially at the price I payed.

Cons: I am not impressed with the anti glare coating on these screens. On any screen that is a solid color it is really noticeably and gives the image a somewhat blurry texture. If it were not for this minor thing I would have given it a 5 egg review. Also, the whites seem a little less white than they should even after calibration.

Overall Review: I wish the price difference between the 23" and 24" wasn't so huge(at the time of my purchase) because the extra space would have been nice.
