The August monitor of the month accolade goes to the Dell U2311H. The Dell UltraSharp U2311H has all of the usual features you’d expect from a modern monitor, including a ‘full HD’ (1920×1080) resolution and high brightness. Where it goes above and beyond, however, is the inclusion of IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology inside the panel. This provides superior colour accuracy and consistancy compared to the usual ‘TN (Twisted Nematic)’ panel technology. It also offers better viewing angles and often better contrast – the overall result is a better image on the screen. As well as delivering an exceptional image, the monitor is also highly adjustable offering height, pivot, swivel and tilt adjustment. When we first heard about the Dell U2311H (and its smaller but every bit as brilliant cousin, the U2211H and first saw their price range we knew they would be winners. So far the indications are that the U2211H and U2311H are responsive enough to satisfy the needs of most gamers – this is often something that concerns people considering IPS computer monitors.
