Dell.ca: Ultrasharp U2412HM 1920x1200 IPS LCD $269

This deal has expired!

In the past couple of years, consumer options for high quality LCDs have come a long way. Right now, Dell.ca has a sale price on a favourite in that category. The Dell Ultrasharp U2412M 24" IPS LCD is on sale for $269.00. No coupon is required. That's not quite the lowest price to date, but it's a very good price regardless.

You might be wondering why a 24" monitor at $269 is a something to be excited over. The answer is that the U2412M uses an IPS panel, which offers superior colour reproduction and viewing angles compared to the vast majority of monitors out there. As part of the Dell Ultrasharp line, the monitor also has some other great perks -- height adjustment, pivot, rotation, and a built-in USB hub. Connection wise, it supports DVI, VGA, and DisplayPort. Note that it doesn't have HDMI input.

All in all, this is an excellent product at a consumer friendly price. We expect this price is only good until early Friday morning (6AM ET), so don't delay. Shipping is free.

- I was going through the dell website and found the u2412 for 269$ seems like one of the lowest prices to date.
  
  I tried to add the 10% coupon but it didn't seem to register. Maybe someone can get it work.

  It's been as low as 249 in Feb.

  The only thing HDMI has over DVI is that HDMI transmits audio also. Since almost all monitors don't have any speakers, there is no point to use HDMI.

  Just get an adapter?

  But I think every **** customer has been sold HDMI or GTFO

- We all know HDMI is more for TV then monitor. But now a days, many laptops comes with VGA & HDMI output. Some have DP, depending on the model.
  
  Why can't monitors have VGA, DVI, HDMI and DP?

- Sorry for off topic: my 6.5 year old 2005FPW LCD can't work any more, is it worth to fix?

- The only thing AA battery has over AAA is more capacity, since almost all devices can use AAA batteries with an AAA-AA adapter from ebay, there is no point to create AAA battery.
  
  mepatrick - I think the real reason is royalty fee. Unfortunately, HDMI/DVI adapter is our friend, unless you want to keep a dedicate DVI cable.

  Likely not. Depends what is broken and if you're willing to try the repair yourself.
  
  CCFL back lights cost about $15-20 + shipping
  
  Capacitors are $1 or less for smaller sizes.
  
  But if it something other than these two easy to spot issues, then shop labour will get pricey.
  
  I think the image on the U2412M will offer less banding and a significantly better black depth than your 2005FPW asides from a whole lot more real estate.

  That's also assuming that the Can2000 can fix his own monitor. If he takes it in to a repair centre it's likely going to cost a minimum of $100 to fix. And the repair warranty is typically only on the parts that are replaced. If anything else goes wrong, that's not covered and will cost an additional $$$
  
  Given that the LCD is 6 years old, you've gotten good value for you money and it's time to upgrade!

  yea totally worth it to spend hundreds of dollars to get it fixed instead of getting a new one; and this question totally belongs in the hot deals thread.

- Good thing there's no HDMI. Less ppl do dah buy, moar for matrix.

- Why do they never have HDMI.
  Some video cards have frustrating issues with HDMI output (resizing, etc.) I'll stick to DVI any day!
- Nikhilvoid
- Would the Korean 27" S-IPS, larger-resolution displays be better? Even if they would be 16:9.
  
  They are down to ~315 on ebay now. Customs duties may or may not added to that, of course.

  I agree, DVI is the way to go.

  That analogy makes no sense at all.
  
  EDIT: clearly you don't understand what your analogy is saying if you think it makes sense. What I said is that monitors don't have speakers so that is why manufacturers mostly use DVI connectors. The reason being: HDMI is not needed as it sends audio+video but there is no audio for these monitors.
  
  You confused your analagy as you were saying HDMI=AA and DVI = AAA. Then you go ahead and say there is no point to create AAA batteries (aka DVI) when the analogy SHOULD be something like devices don't use AA because of physical size or something. You should have talked about the devices that use AA and AAA batteries not the batteries themselves in this 'analogy'.

- This monitor was on sale last week for $70 off and with the coupon, it came to $100 off, so it's the same price now as the stacked coupon from last week. I ordered one last week.
  
  This is the business section, and business laptops are moving toward DisplayPort, as it is a progression from VGA/DVI. Consumer video devices progressed from Channel 3 - RCA/Video - SVideo - Component -to HDMI. The two different connectors/technologies evolved from different backgrounds for different reasons at different timing and have different licensing models. It would be simpler to have one standard, but once you get into the technologies and chipsets, you'll find it's not a simple answer of one or the other.
  
  F.Y.I. Displayport output on a laptop/desktop can be converted to HDMI with a simple adapter or cable. Unfortunatly, it can't go the other way.

  Good if they have a non-glossy screen.

- the question for me is would it be worthwhile to upgrade from a BenQ 24" TN panel to this Dell. I love the fact that it is 16:10; not 16:9.

  yea, 16:10 is something I drool over all the time.

- DP-HDMI supports is only available for devices that support both standards, Unlike DVI/HDMI, DP signal is not compatible with HDMI due to the said reason (see my previous post). The situation is similar to use VGA cable for component signal. The passive adapter only works with supported devices.
  
  What you said is true in a historic perspective but the real reason is Apple/Foxconn wants to save a nickel on every machine made. And now the industry have to deal with two different standards. Business projector in your conference room may or may not work as a result. I mean, this is not a bad thing to create a royalty free standard but should they at least give HDMI a chance to open itself up?
  
  jhuynh, I spit out that analogy in a rush but now come to think of it again, it is a good analogy. I respect your opinion though, not to mean to start any flame war.

- at both ends
- These are great panels. Bought two for $320 each back in February (?) and, while I would like to have the $100 back, I think I've gotten a hundred dollars worth out of them already. There's nothing much wrong with 2400 px high by 1920 px wide.
