that is H-IPS, 8 bit colors.
Do you think that U2412M will use a worst panel than U2410 ?because if so will be a very bad update

^bump
TFTCentral has posted news that this will indeed be 16:10 as most of us speculated. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news_archive/24.htm#dell_u2412m_specs
TFT central is unserious imo so lets wait for accurate information.

What makes you say that? Do you know something we don't?ridicolous dell !
another patetic expensive monitor only because is 16:10 ? the wrong format ?
The S24A850D will be much better.
No, that was just early speculation. Read the links above, it is indeed 16:10the wrong format ?
So I guess there will be 2 different versions the HM and the M then?? I take it if that's true then Dell is trying to put them up against each other to see which one sell's better..
Actually, the initial information (a .inf file) did say U2412M. Someone along the way thought that, because the other two models discovered with it had an H, it was an omission/typo.i believe there's only 1 version. Early Dell info supplied to various sources suggested it would be called the U2412HM and be 16:9 aspect. now the correct info is that it will be called the U2412M and will in fact be 16:10 aspect
They just announced the 24" PLS will be 1920x1200, too.senna89 said:ridicolous dell !

If what TFTCentral posted is correct: Here's the data sheet - http://www.msc-ge.com/download/displays/dabla_allg/lm240wu8-sla2.pdf
Disappointing because, in most ways other than price, this appears to be a downgrade of the U2410.
I just get the sense that the overall picture quality is going to offer an inferior experience to the U2410. But, looking on the positive side, it's still going to be a lot better than most of the other non-IPS stuff in the $300 range.
Well that doesn't indicate anything regarding the harshness of the AG coating, if that's what you meant.... 3H is just the hardness of the material. You'd be hard pressed to find a polarizer treatment which is below 3H in hardness today.
I don't understand why they're doing this though. It seems like it would be more complicated to do dithering than to just display 8 bits in the first place, so what is the advantage?Snowdog said:People make a big deal out of 6bit+FRC but really again, nearly unelectable without specific test pattern that try to trip up the FRC.

I get the sense that the picture quality differences will be miniscule (and maybe even an improvement for sRGB users) and we get save a bundle of money. So I think it is great.
Unless you had a real need for wide gamut work the U2410 was far from ideal
It is, but only because Dell haven't made their own internal LUT calibration methods available to end users. You do have control over the basic RGB values for sRGB mode from the test mode. But they did mess up how the monitors controls were implemented in custom mode, meaning it's impossible to generate a 2.2 gamma from there because of the strange curve that mode used. These are more of a statement against how Dell/Innolux implemented things (or rather didn't) rather than a statement about wider gamuts though. Hopefully, with a native sRGB gamut, it'll at least be a lot harder for them to mess that up on the U2412.,you an sRGB emulation mode that wasn't very good and you couldn't adjust it internally.
Now this will be an sRGB screen and you will be able to make internal adjustments as that will be the native gamut. That is actually an improvement in my estimation.
Well, not only is most content sRGB, it's also designed for 8 bit. The main thing I have against 6 bit is the implementations I've seen nearly always seem to have issues when it comes to differentiating small (but visible) differences in very dark or very light shaded areas, where the 6 bit implementation loses some of the details. Something which is hard to notice when you're looking at moving video , but easier to notice on high resolution still images. Although I did get the impression that the 6 bit colour saturation also suffers a bit on video too. Maybe I've just seen crappy implementations up until now though.People make a big deal out of 6bit+FRC but really again, nearly unelectable without specific test pattern that try to trip up the FRC.
