    Question on which of these monitors are better. Does aFRAC really matter?

    So which of these are better if you could get them at the same price? If i remember the new ones have aFRAC and that makes it not 8bit but 6bit screen. Is it noticeable? Also i thought the older monitors has a little better...err less back light bleed and better distribution but i can't remember off the top of my head and i honestly don't have time to re read the 20 page review for each at tncentral so i was hoping someone here might know the answer. I am also asking because there is a good deal on the Dell monitors. I posted it in the deals section so check it out.


    zr24w vs zr2440w

    u2410m vs u2412m

    Thanks as always!!!

    EDIT: also if the older models are better how much more would you consider is worth paying for them? +$XX amount

    CCFL lighting can also mean a wider color gamut. For example the U2410 can do aRGB, whereas the U2412m can only do sRGB.

    Between the Dells, the U2410 is more of a professional monitor, while the U2412m is more of a prosumer monitor.
