I want to buy a good Full HD 24" monitor. I think that I will go with an IPS LED monitor, and am looking at these two, but feel free to suggest any other brand. I am from India.
> LG 24EA53V-Q [ Price : INR 13,300 ]
> DELL U2412 [ Price : INR 18000 ]
My main uses are :
a) Watching movies and other video content
b) Writing / Coding ( Primary use )
c) Internet browsing
I mention (b) because when I am writing, glossy screens can be annoying.
I Intend to use it with my Surface Pro [ Mini DisplayPort ] and sometimes with my laptop [ HDMI ]
I have some questions regarding these two monitors :
1) Is Dell worth the extra money ( it's almost 50% more expensive
2) Is the ultrasharp series not for regular users ( i.e. meant only for editing etc. )
3) Are U2412 and U2412m different monitors?
4) LG has AH-IPS, and the Dell has e-IPS. What's the difference? Is AH-IPS better?
5) Doesn't Dell buy their panels from LG. If yes, what's the point of paying extra. Do they have higher quality control?
Things I hate about the LG model :
- Cheap looking finish
- It can only tilt ( as compared to tilt + swivel + pivot + height adjust in Dell )
Thing I hate about Dell :
- No HDMI, but I understand that I can get connectors without any loss in quality. ( Update : not an issue any more )
- Expensive
I will pay extra for Dell, only if it has a considerably better display for my needs. Feel free to suggest anything else too. I won't be able to test these out in person before buying as I will be ordering online.
And thanks for your time ( in advance ).
