[Rumour] Dell UltraSharp U2711 release soon?

Source: http://vr-zone.com/

Quote:

We found a driver released by Dell themselves (DELL_U2711-MONITOR_A00-00_R247058.exe) , dated 30th November 2009 on their own Support site.

Upon taking a look at the driver files, it is noted that the U2711 has:

- VGA output
- DVI output
- HDMI output
- DisplayPort output

And the resolutions of the panel:

[1920]
HKR,,MaxResolution,,"1920,1080"

[2048]
HKR,,MaxResolution,,"2048,1152"

[2560]
HKR,,MaxResolution,,"2560,1440"

It's probably firm that the panel on the U2711 would be the same one found in the 27-inch iMac.

http://www.3dnews.ru/_imgdata/img/2009/12/15/154196.jpg

That display is a LG LM270WQ1 16:9 IPS panel with LED backlight, and has a massive 2560 x 1440 resolution.

Ooh, LED backlight, more affordable than 30 inchers, and a pretty high resolution - awesome! :D :up:

Laws of the market... they can't sell a 27" for a higher price than a 30" :D

I can't see dell going 16x9 for their top end monitor considering their top end is always 16x10

Ehh I imagine at 27" or higher it begins to not be much of a downside.

How is the response time on that panel (assume its the same as the apple one)
Wonder if it has any overdrive in it, and how that functions. I have a HP LP2475w IPS monitor, great display, but their overdrive is overactive, which leaves a dark shadow in the wake of light objects on dark backgrounds instead of the standard light ghosting. It is actually worse.

16:10 is dead, much like 4:3 passed away 3 years ago.

Long live 16:9 :) for now.

They most certainly can depending on what type of panel is used, not to mention the LED backlight.

^^^^^THIS

I was looking at LED backlit monitors on Newegg just the other day and was kinda shocked at how expensive some of them were. :shocked:

yah, monitors just get worse and worse for desktop use and people just go with it, i want one that i can get with 120hrz native but that means that i have to wait till 1 or q2 but by then i dont really expect to get a 16x10 since they dont look like the new monitors are going to be 16x10 anymore.

so the choices are get one now that ghosts or get one later that has the wrong aspect ration, im just hoping that those e-IPS come out in q1 so we can get cheap ips panels

If they can keep it reasonably priced yes. It better be more than a few hundred cheaper than the iMac.

I am pretty sure it is 60Hz if it uses the same panel as the iMac.

Argh, I'm with the ones that are disheartened about the 16:9 ratio, I know it is quickly becoming the new standard, but much of us still prefer 16:10.

LED blacklight, 16:10 ratio, and 120hz on an IPS panel, and this monitor would be my friggin dream come true...oh and 24''+ -27'' with at least 1920x1200 res too.

I've heard the U2410 is quite good so this sounds even better. This is a good day for news.

I don't understand you people. So much talk about what? 120 lines on 1000+ lines monitors. What do those 120 lines give you? And what do you have against true 1080p fullscreen? For me that fact alone, that at least some content will run fullscreen on 16:9 monitors make them superior to that outdated format that can't run a single piece of video or input from a console fullscreen.

I'm confused. If it's the same monitor as the LG LM270WQ1...then why not buy the LG LM270WQ1????

1080p isn't enough for me for work.
But since this one is 1440p, I don't care if it's 16:9 or not, it'll rock either way. :D

LG makes the panel, not the display. The only similar display is the one iMacs have.

Dell should fix their damn dithering defect on their U2410 before thinking on launching more "U" series, though NEC also will have various displays like those for next year as well...interested to see the price of that 2560x1440

16:9 gives you slightly less screen estate than 16:10 (cost saving for manufacturer), but I don't mind if it's 27". Less than 27", 16:9 doesn't make any sense IMHO.

The 27" version sounds promising, except that the pixel size is even smaller than on 30". I'll pass.
