To me this implies this monitor is limited to 1920 resolution for 1080p, just like the Dell. I don't think this one is going to upscale to 2560 x 1600 either.

DVI is basically at the end of it's upgrade path, Displayport has the capability to offer more bandwidth / resolutions / colour etc as display's move forward. HDMI is more consumer oriontated..

DisplayPort is a good thing.]]>Dec 18th 2007 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/Dec 19th 2007 5:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/Dec 18th 2007 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/Dec 19th 2007 2:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/
If this was a 36" model with similar specs I might be mildly interested. If it was a 40" with these same specs they would actually have my attention.

I'm kinda curious what the scaling hardware will do to the input lag. The 3007 is almost as fast as a CRT (I'm talking about the lag between the video card putting out a pixel and the monitor starting to change color, not the commonly stated start-change to finish that causes ghosting). The 24" panels appear to buffer 2 or 3 frames, presumably for color correction. The 24" suck for FPSs, which is why I went with the 3007. Totally worth it.]]>Dec 19th 2007 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/Dec 19th 2007 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/

That's a lot but depending on your usage, a nice TV might be better. For example, people who also have a cable connection might want a cable hookup (without something like a TV card) in which case a TV trumps a monitor.]]>Dec 19th 2007 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/But then again, this thing only has one DVI input, so basically it failed life from the beginning]]>Dec 19th 2007 1:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/Dec 19th 2007 1:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/Dec 19th 2007 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/Dec 19th 2007 1:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/Dec 19th 2007 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/M]]>Dec 19th 2007 2:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/Dec 19th 2007 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/Dec 19th 2007 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/Dec 19th 2007 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/

I was looking to Dell for an LCD less expensive than Eizo, not almost as expensive. Come on.]]>Dec 28th 2007 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/I calibrated using i1 Photo through every possible configuration (dvi , vga native A98 Manual factory, default , etc., on a mac using OS X with essentially the same result. If you set a NEUTRAL gray background (desktop) it is not consistent in color or density to the eye. Mine was reddish on the right, green/cyan on top yellowish across the bottom , and blotchy brightness-wise across the whole panel.
IT IS NOT THE VIEWING ANGLE-as the colors and effects did not change as you moved your head only the intensity of the defect.
The monitor profiles just fine and the gammut does closely match the A98 color space as they say- even exceeding it in the red/magenta axis, just shy in the green but if you are planning on WYSIWYG color calibrated & profiled workflow this is not gonna cut it.

FWIW I POSTED ESSENTIALLY THIS SAME INFO ON THE DELL WEBPAGE FOR THIS MONITOR AND THEY HAVE NEGLECTED TO POST IT ALONG WITH THE MORE FAVORABLE LESS CRITICAL REVIEWS.
I even said that for for less critical applications this would probably be an awesome monitor.
I have 2 older Dell displays (2405's) that are not nearly as advanced as this one that I use daily for color work for years now and they do not display the same anomalies as the 3008 WFP .

ALSO their "TECH SUPPORT" is a JOKE. They read to you from the user manual that you get with the purchase.
THERE IS NO MONITOR EXPERT TO HELP SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS OTHER THAN BASIC SET UP FUNCTION and CONNECTIVITY

BUYER BEWARE.

But that's just my experience, your mileage may vary...]]>Jan 19th 2008 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/
I purchased the monitor as part of a high end media center blu-ray system. Normal high res 2560x1600 monitors will display HDCP content at the highest resolution IF they are HDCP compliant. In other words, even though HD 1080p resolution is 1920x1080, the monitor scales properly and displays content even when your desktop is at 2560x1600.

The new 3008WFP does NOT work in this scenario. You must actually lower the desktop resolution to 1920x1080 because this monitor will not display HDCP content at any resolution over 1080p! In fact, the monitor doesn't even display HDCP content at a proper aspect ratio of 1920x1200! So all your Blu-ray movies and Media Center HDTV will appear distortedwith a vertical stretching appearance.

Dell higher ups have confirmed this is a problem with the chipset and they are redesigning the monitor. Since front line Dell Technical staff knows nothing about this, owners of this monitor will be unpleasantly surprised if and when they decide to try HDCP content. But by then, it will be too late to return the monitor and you will be stuck with a $2,000 non-HDCP paper weight that is past its return period.]]>Jan 26th 2008 2:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/18/dells-3008wfp-30-inch-lcd-with-displayport-sneaks-available/ How do you know Dell "higher ups" have confirmed this??
