I decided not to wait for that monitor to hit europe, and went with the 2431, which is quite ok.

Hi here's my ultra short review after a few days of use.

- 1 dead pixel upper left corner, it's black when the screen is white.
(could have swapped the monitorfor it but didnt bother because it's not that bothersome)
- cost ~800 euro
- viewing angle distortions when displaying dark colours even at 20 degrees. Could be the panel anti glare coating.
- speakers are crap, but this was expected, they can still serve fine as feedback/signaling speakers

+ no nonsense design, does what it should do
+ works out of the box with Linux Xorg/radeon/DDC
+ good colours
+ 5y warranty
+ powerled can be disabled in OSD

+/- Too bright out of the box: remedy: turn on the auto dimming feature in the OSD (default off) and put it on text colour temp, reminds me of 5600K on CRT
+/- Too sharp out of the box letters jump off the screen, default color mode is blueish (Picture/Movie).
+/- Very faint high hissing of power supply audible closeby, mostly only at the rear.

All in all a good monitor that more or less equals my scrap dell and Iiyama trinitron CRTs in image quality.

Anybody tried this panel yet?
Is the only difference with the S2431 the display port?
I think I'll buy this as my new general purpose screen.
