Dell 2209WA vs U2311H

[Matas]

Which model I should choose? 2209WA feels a little bigger of its 16:10 ratio and has no irritating backlight bleed problems, sadly it uses almost twice power as U2311H (60W vs 30W), also no DisplayPort. Prices are the same. Your comment?

Compare them directly

The Dell U2311H has nearly double to the contrast and doesn't require calibration to get good color accuracy and gamma out of the box.

This is not a problem, because I'm goinig to calibrate it, though.

The U2311H has a 6-bit panel, which are known to have dithering problems for some. The 2209WA is a True 8-Bit panel, which seems most e-IPS aren't.

Better viewing angles on the good old 2209WA.
Except for on dark images where the 2209WA really shows what a white glow master it is.
