14 DAY TRIAL // Now that its AMD VISION-powered mobile PC known as Camino is out in the open, Dell decided to somewhat change the tone, by shifting its focus to the display market. In so doing, the PC supplier has put together a pair of Full-HD monitors intended for knowledge workers such as financial analysts, photographers and programmers. Known as the U2211H and U2311H, these two flat-panel monitors are the newest members of the UltraSharp series and do their best to merge a high image quality with a number of comfort design features.
The Dell U2211H and U2311H have a height-adjustable screen that can tilt and swivel, as well as the ability to pivot to landscape or portrait orientations. The panel itself uses the IPS (in-Plane Switching) technology, has a maximum resolution of Full-HD 1920 x 1080 pixels at 60 Hz, 16.7 million colors and a response time of 8 ms. The products also feature a very wide viewing angle, of 178 degrees to be exact, both vertically and horizontally, as well as extensive I/O options, including VGA, DisplayPort, DVI-D with HDCP and USB 2.0 connectors.
“These new Dell displays are ideal for knowledge workers such as financial analysts, programmers and photography enthusiasts,” Steve Gluskoter, general manager of Dell Displays and Peripherals, said. “They will all appreciate the crisp and high quality images, the connectivity and features designed for comfort and the response time of 8ms which ensures that fast-moving multimedia content is displayed accurately.”
It should be noted that both models are EPEAT Silver, ENERGY STAR 5.0 and TCO 5.0 certified, which means that they will significantly reduce energy costs. Finally, the Dell UltraSharp U2211H and U2311H have screen sizes of 21.5 inches and 23 inches, respectively, and prices of 279 Euro and 299 Euro. They are already selling in Japan, the US and Asia Pacific, with availability in Europe slated for May 19.
