Not much to say. 30% off delivered as past deal from dell. It's not the lowest, but not bad.

I'd be crying if I paid that much for an onion cutter
Can someone please explain to me why this is so much better than their normal 27" UltraSharp that you can calibrate yourself with something like a ColorMunki?
You mean this one compared to the $605 Ultrasharp UZ2715H?
The obvious difference is this one has better colour and resolution:
* 2560 x 1440
* 10-bit (1.074 billion colours)
* covers 99% AdobeRGB and 100% sRGB colourspaces
The UZ2715H is a 'multimedia' monitor:
* 1920 x 1080
* 6-bit+FRC (16.77 million colours)
* (no colour gamut specs, but it'll be something like ~75% AdobeRGB and ~95 sRGB
* inbuilt speakers and webcam
Was about to add that one to my reply.
The U2713HM $818.99 does 2560 x 1440, but it only is 6-bit (16.78 million colors).
And with the current deal, the U2713H is $699 while the lesser spec U2713HM is $819.
Well that one is often (like several times a year) on sale for less than $600. I thought about getting it for that price a couple of weeks ago actually.
@jazoom: There are other differences, like power consumption.
And connections:
* The U2713H has DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, and mini DisplayPort.
* The U2713HM has DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA.
I guess those differences are mainly due to this model being newer. Those seem like changes that any updated monitor could have. That's actually one reason I didn't pull the trigger on the other monitor. It's quite an old model now. Surely a new one can't be too far off. Plus the reviews talked about a problem with it that kinda scared me off.
@jazoom:
When I needed to decide I also looked at the power usage, where the HM is spec'ed lower (42W) than the H (60W).
How does this one compare to the U2713HM?
I keep missing out on the sales for that one… think it's been as low as $579.
Yes, that's what I want to know. Beside all the marketing speak, is the panel better for some reason? Colour gamut blah blah… How much better is it than a well configured other Ultrasharp, which are meant to have awesome colour anyway.
If you're doing proper graphics work, the colour differences are worth it. If you "dabble", you won't really notice it.
Thanks. Yeah, I probably fall into the "dabble" category. I don't do professional work that needs accurate colours.

My question about the U2713H is what are the max resolutions possible using the HDMI and the VGA connector. Anyone knows?
Yeah, that's the thing that made me wary. (Except DVI instead of VGA).
Might as well get a 4K monitor which is around this price range?
Those are TN panels.
Yes. Resolution is only a small part of why you'd get these monitors. The bigger part is the amazing colour reproduction.
As an example, on my U2711 the Ozbargain orange looks like a lovely vibrant orange, moving the browser over to my cheap Kogan 27 the orange gets a very brownish tone to it.. and I have colour calibrated them both. Independently viewed you'd never notice.
Don't forget that this model has a DisplayPort out, so you can run 2 from the one miniDP on your Mac.
As for the billions of colours versus millions on the HM version - not really worth it unless you work in AdobeRGB.
You'll also want a calibrator to set these up. I have the x-rite i1 Display Pro to set my U2713H up.
Would I buy again versus U2713HM on special? - nope - only need the 1 to then loop to a HM to run 2 displays.
It's pretty good for cutting onions
