Looks like the Dell Ultrasharp 27" Premier Colour monitor is on-sale at the moment.
Seems like a good price for a monitor with wide gamut etc.
Until I can afford an Eizo for my photo-editing the Dell monitors will have to do.
Cheers.
Kind of un-necessary. I'm sure it'd be great, but I doubt you'd need to shell out that much for a half decent 27" for gaming.
crappy

EDIT: seems they are up to rev A04 now, so some of the issues may have been addressed
Sensational for gaming with outstanding colour. Excellent LED backlighting. On gaming mode there is no noticeable input lag. I think Dell have something like a two week satisfaction guarantee ( you pay return postage perhaps) giving you time to decide.
Tempted with this one, and the review from cnet.au doesn't take anything away from it: http://www.cnet.com.au/dell-ultrasharp-u2713hm-339341226.htm
An earlier review from a UK site too: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/monitors/1298425/dell-u2713h
I always think of DELL as being overpriced (But they decent quality), but this looks OK at this reduced price.
was wondering why you were neggged…. then I saw you linked the wrong monitor

this is the H, not HM
I'm drooling.
But it's not in an good price range for me :(
Tempting …
Might hold off and see if I can get a 39" Seiki Digital 4K TV (3840x2160) … set it up as a monitor.
As countless others have found, a large (TV-sized) display is not a useful general purpose computer monitor - too distracting. I use this monitor as main work monitor and at 27", I think it's maximum flat size, anything bigger needs to be arc-shaped.
For computer use, 4K is about quality of rendering, not real-estate. For me, it'd be great to get 4K at 27" - finally being able to see 8pt fonts finely rendered.
just got Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM for 30% off
connect with my laptop by using DP cable, pretty good so far
Refurbs available at $599.
3 year warranty on new ones is a consideration. Had two replaced at 2.5 years. Got the newer model as a replacement.
Bought one of these earlier in the year for the same price - haven't had any issues yet, great monitor.
If you can get these kinds of Dell monitors at a discount i recommend it - I'm very happy with mine.
The U2713HM (HM-model) is often on sale at 30% off for $559 - so around $105 cheaper than this H model on special.
The differences appear to be this more expensive H model has a faster response time (6ms compared to 8ms) and a wider colour gamut of 120% vs 82%.
They both sound like great monitors, and for a professional art/photo person Id say this H model would be the go.
But for non-professional home use, is it worth paying $100 more for this H model over the HM?
I reckon this deal is a great price for anyone looking for this size/res/quality monitor.
For anyone looking for this size/resolution (as I am) but at a lower price (but consider the quality or other specs may be lower) here are a couple of other options I have looked at.
KOGAN 27" WQHD (2560x1440) LED IPS Monitor
$439 (plus delivery, maybe wait for free delivery deal)
Asus 27" PB278Q 6ms 2560 x 1440 PLS HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, SPK LED Backlight LCD Monitor
$ 625 (at MSY)
Samsung 27" S27A850TSK PLS Professional LED Monitor
$ 630 (at GoComp)
The Kogan is the only stand out deal, at such a low price, but it may also be the lower quality of the 4 models so its not an Apples with Apples comparison.
How good is this for PC/console gaming?
