I've taken to using f.lux to turn the color temperature down to 3400K all the time. Obviously this isn't an option for people doing color-sensitive work, but it has gone a long way towards reducing my eyestrain from staring at dual 20" all day.

Is 16:9 really that much worse than 16:10 or is this some sort of joke that went over my head?

Yes.

Another eyefinity question I haven't been able to find a definitive answer for. At some point in the future, I will be upgrading to two 1080p monitors for my desktop. I will also be running hdmi over cat6 to run connection to my receiver across the room, for potential gaming on the couch with surround.

I understand the connection requirements, but does eyefinity support having one pair of monitors mirrored (primary and tv) along with the second desktop monitor in extended?




vvvv sweet, thanks! vvvv

Anyone know when the U2412 was introduced? I'm saving up to upgrade my monitors but if the U2414 is around the corner, I can wait a bit longer if it's due for a refresh.

I have been extremely happy with the U2412Ms I got last week, get one (or two!). They really are fantastic monitors. Only game I've been playing is Far Cry 3, but I can't tell of any input lag, etc. Then again as people have said, IPS is probably perfectly fine unless you're a L337 CS PROGAMER who still hangs on to his CRT.

My only complaint is that they only come with DVI/VGA cables but no displayport cable. After thinking about it though, that's not a bad idea on their part - you have two different sizes, so you'd have people annoyed that it came with a displayport cable but didn't plug in to their minidisplayport on their pc/laptop. That problem is entirely on the consumer for not researching exactly what they're getting, but I can see Dell not wanting to deal with the headache. No matter, a problem easily solved by throwing $10 to monoprice.
