5 out of 5 stars Stunning Monitor   July 27, 2010

Excellent value. I have had this for more than a month and love it. No viewing angle problems nor smearing on fast action. This monitor will spoil you for a non-IPS monitor. Excellent for graphics work.

Cons: Only on the price, yet we get what we pay for. I may buy another to upgrade a 1650x1050 second monitor.

As for the one star review below, the "reviewer" is a mental midget, complaining only about a typo on the page.

Although you might be put off by shelling out a grand for a display monitor, you get a lot of bang for your buck. I have tested all the inputs. Don't waste your time with the VGA, it's only there as a last resort during video troubleshooting. The two dual link DVI ports will satisfy most users (switching from two sources). The video cards I've tested only allow a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 using the HDMI port. The DisplyPort (DP) as with the DVI ports will deliver the full resolution of 2560 x 1440. The OSD panel is activated by putting your hand near it. It is easy to turn on and off, regardless of room lighting. The OSD menu is easy to use as well. If you play a lot of action games, you might be disappointed by it's response time, but for all other uses it's hard to beat.

This product is listed as:
Dell U2711 27' HD UltraSharp Monitor w/ 3 Year Warranty

27' = 27 FEET
27" = 27 INCHES

The product is listed as 27 feet. It's not that big.

I've had this monitor for a month now and I've to say that it's phenomenal. I was using the Dell 2405FPW for 5 years until the U2711 was released, almost matching the resolution of the 30-inch (2560 by 1600), at almost half the price. It's a bargain.

The resolution is outstanding at 2560 by 1440. Yes, there's 160 pixels missing from the bottom compared to a typical 30-inch, but coming up from 1920 by 1200 it doesn't really matter.

The colours are vibrant, which is great. The text is a bit smaller, of a size you typically see on 13-inch laptops. It took me a while to get used to the smaller font size.

This set is still non-glossy. But apparently, Dell has applied some anti-glare coating. I've read on forums that some customers disliked it but I've no problem with it.

Compared to a 24-inch, 1920 by 1200, the U2711 isn't much taller, it's much wider. I can fit two webpages, 1024px each, and still be able to see icons on the desktop.

As for backlight bleeding, it's hard to detect. It means if your widescreen movies still show the letterbox black bars, you'll be less distracted.

The U2711 also works well with my PS3 via HDMI. I'm not sure of the audio capabilities but I use a 2.1 speaker plugged in with a 3.5mm jack. One thing to note is you'll have to set the audio settings on your PS3 to output 2.1 sound to make sure they output all the sound, dialogue, effects, surround, etc.

Gaming on the PS3 is very enjoyable. The games had to be upscaled and there's a notch of graininess. Not really an issue unless you're sitting really close. Everything looks pretty snappy and I don't notice any lag but I'm don't really play FPS games.

Note that this monitor would require a decent graphics card with dual-DVI output. If you want to game at the maximum resolution, they you need a powerful card.

This is a huge physical monitor. My table is really small and it took up almost half of it. But not regrets.

I managed to get this LCD at US$690 equivalent in Asia, Singapore. It's really value for money. This set is going to last me for a long time, until the slimmer LED version comes out in who-knows-which year.

I would recommend this monitor to graphic designers, photographers or anything who multi-task a lot.

- For Mac Users -

I'm using this on a Mac Pro and have powered it on two graphic card, not both at the same time. It's plug and play, no drivers required.

On the ATI Radeon X1900XT, you won't be able to see the dual boot screen if you hold Alt after the startup (that's if you're using Boot Camp). On the ATI Radeon 4870, it works just flawlessly.

- For technical reviews, just visit the links in my comment section. I found and used them while researching on the U2711.
