Introduction
Yeah, Dell UltraSharp U2410 is my first IPS panel monitor (dump VA panel due to slowness). It is a 24 inch monitor with 1920×1200 resolution. It is hard to find 16:10 widescreen aspect ratio monitor nowadays. Most of them are 1920×1080 (16:9) Full HD format. By the way, Dell UltraSharp U2410 is the replacement of Dell UltraSharp 2408 Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor. Basically, Dell replaced the Samsung VA panel with LG IPS panel and V shape monitor stand with a solid rectangular base. What I like? It has the same 110% Color Gamut as 2408WFP but with higher color depth of 1.07 billion and crazy high 80,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Best of all, better viewing angle compare to cheap TN panel monitor.

I always want a better viewing angle LCD monitor like Dell UltraSharp 2408 WFP with pilot function. However, the VA (Vertical Alignment) panel which have very high input lag is not suitable for gaming (FPS) that I spend most of the time with my computer beside blogging. The wait is over, Dell comes out a new monitor that suite my need ~ Dell UltraSharp U2410 Monitor at a very attractive price (RM1599 @ US$450). Dell UltraSharp U2410 uses IPS (In Plane Switching) panel (not sure is H-IPS or not) and it should be faster than VA panel. Okay, let’s unpack it.

Have you download the latest AMD display driver ~ ATI Catalyst Software Suite Version 9.3? No for me. AMD comes out a new ATI Catalyst Software Suite every month. And the naming conversion is based on year and month. For example, the current version 9.3, 9 == year and 3 == month. Normally, new features or performance improvement will be added on each display driver release. For ATI Catalyst Software Suite Version 9.3, the major feature is Windows 7 support and is a unified driver with Windows Vista. Besides, it also improves on Folding@Home (which I did not try at all for the moment). Windows Vista HDMI audio driver support
integrated into all ATI Catalyst 9.3 packages and new AMD Display Library (ADL) SDK. Finally, Lost Planet: Colonies gains up to 20% on 4800 series products.
Based on these features, I will skip this release. Looking forward for the next release that has 64 bit hardware support on ATI AVIVO Video Converter. Right now, it is still using CPU processing instead of GPU power. Luckily, I have a very powerful CPU ~ Intel Core2 Extreme quad-core processor QX9650. 
Help… My Panasonic TX-32LX75M TV HDMI cannot work with PC. The story goes like this… I bought a HDMI cable from Carrefour last month. It was a value HDMI cable. I tried to connect my girl friend notebook BenQ Joybook S42 to the TV with this new cable. However, I failed to get a clear picture on my Panasonic TV. It does not have problem to display at 1366×768 resolution while using PC Mini D-sub 15-pin cable. I have a clear picture. However, it failed when using HDMI cable. By the way, the BenQ Joybook S42 laptop is using Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT display card. I tried different resolutions but still failed. And I don’t believe that Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT is causing the issue. Therefore, I brought my new desktop to the living room to test. I used Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 to test. But the result is same ~ blur text and not sharp at all.
Did have a faulty HDMI cable? Well, I asked my friend to test it for me. And it is working on his TV. So it is not Carrefour value HDMI cable issue…
