I ordered mine two days ago on the 8th, I spoke to a sales person via their chat app, and they were kind enough to drop the price to $999.

I just love the quality and design of Dell monitors... Will be my next one for sure. (as soon as the price drops of course :P)

It's not going to drop that much, it's got an IPS panel which makes it a premium screen compared to the low-quality TN panels that Acer use in their monitors.]]>Feb 10th 2010 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/dell-27-inch-ultrasharp-u2711-ips-monitor-with-wqhd-resolution-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/dell-27-inch-ultrasharp-u2711-ips-monitor-with-wqhd-resolution-n/
Same here... just bought an Acer last week :(
No worries though - I wasn't going to get this at that price anyway.

You clearly don't know much about the 3007WFP. The reason it's so much cheaper than say, the 3008WFP, is because it has no built-in scaler. It has ONLY DVI inputs and can be run ONLY at 2560x1600 or 1280x800 (which is exactly one quarter of its max resolution and thus requires no scaling hardware since it simply maps data for 1 pixel onto 4 physical pixels). That makes it less than ideal for any alternate applications such as cable boxes or Blu-ray players, which don't support either of those resolutions. The 3008WFP on the other hand has a built-in scaler and thus can support several more resolutions, includes alternate input methods, etc, and therefore costs significantly more. I think a better price comparison would be this display against the 3008, but again the 3008 is not an IPS panel, which (justifiably) adds significantly to the cost in order to deliver superior color reproduction.]]>Feb 10th 2010 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/dell-27-inch-ultrasharp-u2711-ips-monitor-with-wqhd-resolution-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/dell-27-inch-ultrasharp-u2711-ips-monitor-with-wqhd-resolution-n/
I think that's exactly his point. I believe when he said "too small pixel density" he meant "too LOW a pixel density", not "too small pixels", in which case that would be the reason he would not want a 24" monitor.]]>Feb 10th 2010 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/dell-27-inch-ultrasharp-u2711-ips-monitor-with-wqhd-resolution-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/dell-27-inch-ultrasharp-u2711-ips-monitor-with-wqhd-resolution-n/Feb 10th 2010 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/dell-27-inch-ultrasharp-u2711-ips-monitor-with-wqhd-resolution-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/dell-27-inch-ultrasharp-u2711-ips-monitor-with-wqhd-resolution-n/

Because of the back light it is able to give better colours than the Apple. In terms of colour gamut it goes something like

RGB LED > (good) CCFL > White LED > (poor) CCFL

Apple use while LEDs in their screens and these aren't as good as a high quality cold cathode light. You shouldn't buy into the hype that LEDs are always better.]]>Feb 10th 2010 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/dell-27-inch-ultrasharp-u2711-ips-monitor-with-wqhd-resolution-n/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/10/dell-27-inch-ultrasharp-u2711-ips-monitor-with-wqhd-resolution-n/....
