i've been looking into buying myself an IPS monitor, and came across something curious... first of all the price difference between 23" vs 24" is well... staggering. i'm not sure that £100 for an extra inch of screen space is really good value. but there might be more to it than that? apparently as a general rule, the 23"…
The u2311h is e-IPS and the u2410 is H-IPS, which is a big reason for the cost difference. The 23" screens are generally 1920x1080, as apposed to 1920x1200 as well and targeted more to consumers while the 24" is targeted more towards professionals.

Refresh rates and contrast ratios are generally worthless information. What you want to know is the panel type, and color accuracy(gamut). Inexpensive monitors like this use TN panels, which are cheap, have fast refresh rates but have poor color accuracy and poor viewing angles - generally bad for art work. If you're…
