Dell targets the core with U2211H and U2311H
Dell has quietly added a pair of LCDs to its lineup that get the mainstream using color-accurate displays. The 21.5-inch U2211H and 23-inch U2311H both output at 1080p using higher-quality IPS (in-plane switching) panels. Their performance isn't yet public but should provide more color and wider viewing angles than same-size LCDs with TN or PVA panels.
Both connect strictly to digital sources with either DisplayPort or DVI. They produce just a 1,000:1 static contrast ratio but can rotate, tilt and change height to get an ideal angle. A four-port USB hub is built into either display.
The new screens aren't quickly listed on Dell's pages, but orders are open today and show only small price differences between the two: the U2211H costs $280 where the U2311H lifts the price to $300. [both via LogicBuy]
