5 Reasons For for Choosing the DELL UltraSharp U2212HMC
The DELL UltraSharp U2212HMC has a display resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080p) pixels pixels, and so are the Asus VE228H and the NEC MultiSync EA273WMIBK, which is twice as large display resolution as the AOC E950SWN (1366 x 768 (WXGA) pixels) and twice as large display resolution as the Philips Brilliance 19S4 (1280 x 1024 pixels). More ...
'Display Resolution' indicates the maximum resolution that the monitor is capable of displaying. 'Resolution' is the amount of pixels that make up the image displayed on the screen.
A larger display resolution means that the image will be more detailed, crisper and contain less visual flaws such as blurring.
The DELL UltraSharp U2212HMC has an ultra high (20000000:1) dynamic contrast ratio (as are the AOC E950SWN, the Asus VE228H and the Philips Brilliance 19S4), whereas the NEC MultiSync EA273WMIBK only has a very high dynamic contrast ratio. More ...
The contrast ratio is a measure of the ratio between the brightest part of the image and the darkest part of the image.
Monitors with a high contrast ratio will produce higher contrast, more vivid images.
The DELL UltraSharp U2212HMC is a 178° vertical viewing angle PC monitor, and so does the NEC MultiSync EA273WMIBK. That's 18° wider than the AOC E950SWN, the Asus VE228H and the Philips Brilliance 19S4 (160°). More ...
The vertical viewing angle dictates the maximum angle at which the monitor can be properly viewed.
A larger viewing angle means that the screen can be watched from many different parts of a room successfully. Conversely, a very small viewing angle means you would effectively have to sit directly in front of the monitor to be able to view the screen successfully.
The DELL UltraSharp U2212HMC has a horizontal viewing angle of 178° (as does the NEC MultiSync EA273WMIBK), however the AOC E950SWN, the Asus VE228H and the Philips Brilliance 19S4 are all only 170° horizontal viewing angle PC monitors (8° narrower). More ...
The horizontal viewing angle dictates the maximum angle at which the monitor can be properly viewed.
A larger viewing angle means that the monitor can be watched from many different parts of a room successfully. Conversely, a very small viewing angle means you would effectively have to sit directly in front of the monitor to be able to view the screen successfully.
The DELL UltraSharp U2212HMC has an HDCP (as do the Asus VE228H, the NEC MultiSync EA273WMIBK and the Philips Brilliance 19S4), however the AOC E950SWN does not have this feature. More ...
HDCP stands for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection - it is a protocol used by some encrypted DVD players to securely transfer information with no chance of interception.
A monitor with HDCP support will be able to read media from encrypted DVD players and other peripherals.

The response time on a PC monitor is a measure of how quickly the monitor reacts to image data sent by the computer's graphics card. Fast response times are particularly important for gamers, who should ideally look for a response time of 8 milliseconds or less.
A faster (shorter) response time is better because fast moving graphics will appear smoother and the gaming experience will feel more responsive.
The DELL UltraSharp U2212HMC does not have a built-in speaker, but the AOC E950SWN, the Asus VE228H, the NEC MultiSync EA273WMIBK and the Philips Brilliance 19S4 do. More ...

The NEC MultiSync EA273WMIBK has a display resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080p) pixels pixels, and so are the Asus VE228H and the DELL UltraSharp U2212HMC, which is twice as large display resolution as the AOC E950SWN (1366 x 768 (WXGA) pixels) and twice as large display resolution as the Philips Brilliance 19S4 (1280 x 1024 pixels). More ...
'Display Resolution' indicates the maximum resolution that the monitor is capable of displaying. 'Resolution' is the amount of pixels that make up the image displayed on the screen.
A larger display resolution means that the image will be more detailed, crisper and contain less visual flaws such as blurring.
The NEC MultiSync EA273WMIBK is a 5ms response time PC monitor, and so do the AOC E950SWN, the Asus VE228H and the Philips Brilliance 19S4. That's 3ms faster than the DELL UltraSharp U2212HMC (8ms). More ...
The response time on a PC monitor is a measure of how quickly the monitor reacts to image data sent by the computer's graphics card. Fast response times are particularly important for gamers, who should ideally look for a response time of 8 milliseconds or less.
A faster (shorter) response time is better because fast moving graphics will appear smoother and the gaming experience will feel more responsive.
