Which 27-30" IPS LCD?

[booter]

I've passed on the u3011 as well.. tried to bargain it down to 1200$ but the guy in india working for dell kept repeating "special price already" .. sigh.

27" Dell $757 free shipping.....thinking of getting this one...$1200 for the 30" and a few extra lines of Res seems a tad much...

Buy Dell Computer [U2711] Dell Ultrasharp U2711 27IN Widescreen LCD Monitor IPs 2560X1440 6MS 80000:1 DVI-D HDMI DisplayPort

Wow! Now there's a good deal...

Yeah I'm thinking of pulling the pin on it.....hope I wouldn't regret not going with the 30" 2560 x 1600.....threw my 32" LCD TV on my Desk and it seems way too big...this 27" isn't too much larger then my present 24" 1920 x 1200....I'll ponder it for a few days ;)

yeah... but i think i should wait after christmas... because i think they try to clean them...

^^^ I don't see this particular monitor available at Dell.ca......hhhmmmm....tells me it maybe EOL and Distributors are dumping them now at the reduced price of $750.....so..waiting until Christmas or after Christmas you maybe shvt out of luck as these maybe completely gone and new 27" for sale at 1+ K.......just a thought..

[CTA]

you might be right...

but i think lcd price should be decrease like by 200 cdn... like last year i bought 2209wa for 250 cdn sale price of 400 or something... and this year.. they sell for about 200cdn...

2560 x 16000 and 2560 x 1440 are in a whole different league then "cheap" LCD's........

Anyhow..cheapest I found the Dell 30" is $1299, so:

16:9 = $757
16:10 = $1299

Sucks to always want the best ;)

[CTA]

there is not existing for 2560 x16000 ;p

i dont know why 16:9 and 16:10 are a huge difference... i just like over 1200 px height...

Exactly. Large quality monitors don't drop all that much in price. Just look at the Dell 3007WPF. 3 year old design and it still sells for over $1000 most of the time.

Personally I say go for the U2711. You will not be disappointed. Gaming @ 2560x1440 is very enjoyable.

I'd almost considering buying two of these to play @ 7680x1440 but I do not want to know what kind of videocard power I would need to drive them.
