Resolved Dell U2412 Monitor / 4,1 Mac Pro / Snow Leopard

[Bart Katz]

My old monitor bit the dust this morning and I'm considering a 24" Dell U2412M as a replacement.

Is anyone using the Dell U2412M monitor with a stock 4.1 Mac Pro (NVIDIA GT120) and Snow Leopard? I've seen comments that there is a conflict between some graphics driver's dithering system and this monitor's use of Advanced Frame Rate Correction (A-FRC) to emulate 8-bit color from this 6-bit panel.

Any other recommendations on a 24-27" monitor for under $300 with my configuration?

I would get that monitor, its a great monitor, I doubt you'll have any issues. I have the U2312HM and no dithering issues here.
