Hey guys, I'm not blown away by my recent Samsung purchase - the viewing angles, especially vertical, are poor - very noticeable fade if I'm not looking exactly at centre. With no height adjustment and my being tall, this is annoying. I could purchase a Dell 2408 stateside for $450. Is it worth the extra hassle? TIA. |

Just reading about the 2408's input lag issues. Not sure if the A02 revision fully solved them. Should I spring for the 2410? IPS panel worth it? |

IPS is fantastic. IMO its worth it, but I have no job and my GF would KILL me if I went out and bought one :) |

IPS is definitely worth it. :) |

LOL, I know I just upgraded to 3x U2410's from 2407's and a 2408. I had 2x Rev A04 2407's and a Rev A02 2408 I can say I noticed absolutely no lag at all on the 2408 and as a PVA panel it has good view angles, its black was nice and black, I say it was a perfect monitor and I got it under $400. I only upgraded because it was flanked by the 2407's and I could not color match them. On ebay I can find 2408's for under $400 after cashback easy but I got mine directly from dell when they had the 15% bing cashback. I do not have the U2410's yet to say if its better and worth the money yet or not but I'll let you know when I get them. I can say I expect to like the stands on the 2408 more, but the menu on the U2410 looks easier to use with the touch buttons and it has way more tweaks for color/contrast and it has lower input lag than the 2408 on paper. Seems the U2410 is becoming a very popular monitor around here. Edit: ETA for the U2410 is in like 3 days if you want to wait for my unbiased 2408 vs 2410 opinion. One thing that is in the back of my mind is the 2408 had 2 revisions to fix any issues it may have had the U2410 has had none yet so its going to be more prone to having unresolved issues. Anybody know what dell's policy is on monitor revisions if one comes out that is important and your under your 3yr warranty still? |

Those are all really good points. I'd like to hear what you think of the 2410 vs the 2408, thank you. Since it will be a hassle for me to get either (will ship to a US address then send to Canada...sigh), I want to be sure I am getting the right monitor. If you don't notice a huge difference, I may go for the A02 2408. It's still $150 cheaper (unless I can find a valid coupon for the 2410, they're all expired currently). Thanks again, and appreciate all the help/advice. |

Black Friday comes soon I imagine we may find some good deals. I should have waited till then but my time window to return the 2408 with no penalty was coming to a close so I went ahead and did the upgrade. |

So, I couldn't wait...pulled the trigger on a new U2410. :wink: I spoke with a Dell salesperson in Canada and was able to get $150 off and free shipping so I'm happy enough. Officially excited now... :D |
