Why is 2011's U2412M more expensive than 2013's U2414H?


Recommended Posts

The 2011 U2412M is ?210

The 2013 U2414H is ?182

 

Isn't the U2412M the successor to the U2414H?

 

Do they both have DisplayPort in and out? (so I only need to connect one cable into my GPU)

I suspect aspect ratio is the reason (12M is 16:10 and 14H is 16:9). TFT Central has in-depth reviews of both.

Ah, I see.

 

After a bit more research, this is what I came up with:

  • U2412M (2011) 1920x1200 (?210) DP, 4x USB2, DVI, VGA
  • P2414H (2013) 1920x1080 (?152) DP, 4x USB2, DVI, VGA
  • U2414H (2013) 1920x1080 (?182) DP, 4x USB3, mini DP, 2x HDMI, ultra thin bezel, DP out

How annoying! I want the 1920x1200 part of the U2412M but the USB 3.0 ports, HDMI ports and ultra thin bezel of the U2414H! :(

 

There's also a 2014 model (which is basically a 16:10 version of the U2414H):

  • U2415 (2014) 1920x1200 (?245) DP, 5x USB3, mini DP, 2x HDMI, ultra thin bezel, DP out

Basically, the U2415 has everything I want but ?500 is a lot of money on two monitors :(

I feel you. 16:10 is very painful on the wallet unfortunately.

Black Friday is coming, let's see if the U2415 will drop to ?200.
