This Monitors give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Phenomenal
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 - I didn't even detect it was there.

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

2. Beware the anti-glare coating
First, full disclosure: I've tried this monitor with a couple macs. Also in general I'm a big fan of Dell monitors, I have two right now at home (where I do a lot of photo image processing) and I've had nothing but Dell monitors at work for years (where I do scientific image processing). I've never had a complaint about their monitors, in general the Ultrasharp series are great quality for a good price.

On to this monitor: I've had two of these now, and while I really like the size and resolution I think I'm going to give up. The first one had a few bad pixels, pretty bad backlight bleedthrough in one corner (and noticeable in all 4 corners) and one dark corner. (How do you get a corner to have bleedthrough when it's dark and be dark when it's light?) On that one the top layer of the screen also seemed to not fit quite right, it would make a pop sound when I tried to wipe the screen like it was moving or warped. The second one had much more severe backlight bleedthough in...

Better read this carefully
The Dell U2711 is one of the best monitor's for photo editing or any detailed work when you want color correct photo's on the market . I have to tell you the the mistake these people make when buying this monitor the uninformed 1 star reviews unplug their monitor and unhook the DVI-Cable then rehook this monitor up with the "old DVI cable" .." NEWS FLASH " The monitor comes with a DVI-cable and it's a dual link DVI cable "Lamon's terms it looks the same on the outside look inside the plug it has twice as many pins as your old DVI cable . Why ? It's a dual DVI-Cable despite it's name it's a single cable with twice as many pins .. What's the difference you might ask ? Sparkles on white can't read the text colors off and can't get to max resolution and that's where this was designed to run 2560 X 1440 ..Don't hook up your old DVI- cable it's a single link don't use it follow the instructions in the box .. Next make sure you have a newer video card in at least 32bits GT 550 TI ,GT460...
