Dell U2311H is a good monitor in this range. But you won't find HMDI port on this one. You'll have to use a converter cable for that. But apart from that, the color reproduction is very good, and is a highly praised monitor in this range.

^^ Sweet!! Any noticeable size difference between 23" and 24"?? Also, if there's no HDMI, what is the best way to connect a PS3 to it to get the best display possible?

* Hope the price is within 15k in SP Road, BLR too :D

For PS3, use something like Premium HDMI to DVI Cable Gold 2 Metre: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

I placed an order and received it the next day. From BDA complex, Indiranagar. I will add the details to the main post in a while once I gather google map location and address

I have updated the details in my thread. Check it out.

I have no idea about Golchha. I got my entire PC except the monitor from them. I never asked if they have the Dell U2311H

Yay... Got the Dell U2311H from Golcha today. Called them up and they had it in stock.

Funny thing though.... I bought a HDMI to DVI adaptor and it seems Dell makes different kind of DVI ports! The pin arrangement was entirely different. Gotta go hunting for a same class converter tomorrow! Anyone any ideas?

Oh.. and Ishu. That converter won't work as the DVI pins are incompatible it seems

Try HDMI to Display Port then. I am confused as to why yours didn't work and how dell can have another standard of DVI in their monitor.

Let me know how it turns out. I would add valid points in my main post to avoid hassle by future buyers, in case HDMI is so much of a pain to work with, on this monitor.

Have ya tried connecting your PS3 to your U2311h sarath?? If so, how's the overall display and how did you manage the converter :D

NVM that DVI thingy :lol: Turns out U2311H supports DVI-D Dual link cables only and I got an adaptor with DVI-I. lol. Most monitors supports the DVI-I interface, but I guess times are changing.

Check this link:

Go to the bottom of the page where diagrams are, and find out which standard the Dell U2311H uses. You can then get the cable needed.
