Resolution independence goes contrary to the very idea of increasing resolution in the first place. I want a larger resolution to fit more stuff on the screen, not to have more detailed icons or better aliased text.

I'd rather see they spend money on improving our eyes than sink any into resolution independence.

Anyway, I'll settle for 1440p screens that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. A 27" 1440p TN panel without the exotic connectivity would do me just fine, I work with text rather than imagery after all.]]>Aug 5th 2010 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/Aug 5th 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/I am waiting until AMOLED, 3D, and 3840x2160p@240Hz is standard.]]>Aug 6th 2010 8:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/Apple's 27" LED IPS is more appealing.

How often do you need more than 140fps?]]>Aug 5th 2010 6:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
not sure, but on a 30" display 7ms is sloooow,
even my 24" LG can do 2ms,
Gaming on a 7ms display probably sucked.]]>Aug 5th 2010 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/Apple's 27" monitor has a 12ms response time...
And I'm guessing this monitor will have a matte display rather than the horrendous high-gloss displays Apple are set on using...Then again, to each his own, I certainly wont be needing a 30" display anytime soon.]]>Aug 5th 2010 6:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
so this and the cinema display aren't good for gaming, huh?
what about LED TVs,
generally what's their response time?]]>Aug 5th 2010 6:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/mate. you were the one who brought up response times, personally I could care less about it. But when you pay out one screens response time, then praise another ones (which is worse), something is a bit off there...]]>Aug 5th 2010 6:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
my bad, really didn't pay much attention to the new 27" cinema display.
But does IPS monitors generally have slower response time?
My main purpose is for gaming and movies, so response time does matter to me.]]>Aug 5th 2010 6:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
But yes, IPS displays do generally have slower response times than a TN panel, as mentioned, they're more accurate than TN panels (which will hit response times), and they have a higher bit depth than TN panels (typically, a TN panel is only capable of displaying 6 bits per colour, or 18 bit colour, in total, and relies on dithering to get to '24 bit' colour).
Still, IPS panels are far better than MVA/PVA panels, delivering equivalent (or equal) colour response at a far better response time.]]>Aug 5th 2010 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/Aug 5th 2010 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/Aug 5th 2010 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
Is ghosting a problem with your 30 incher? Also what games do u play on it?]]>Aug 5th 2010 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
Quit giving andyusa a hard time. He was wrong about the response times and posted typical apple fanboyish nonsense but has admitted his mistake.

I use a 3008WFP dell ultrasharp 30 monitor too, I use it for PC gaming and with an xbox 360. People claim IPS monitors ghost but I haven't noticed it and I've got about 15 games for the 360 here. I'm sure it happens but its not something I've noticed happen regularly or constantly.

FYI: Next time just because it's from Apple dont assume it's better just because Apples hype machine tries to make their products sound better, theres other products out there that are highly polished and have usually better specs/performance. That's not to say Apple doesn't make good things but their marketing tries to always suggest everyone elses products are complete garbage which isn't even close to true.]]>Aug 5th 2010 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/I have a dell 2209WA (IPS) with 6ms response time and its awesome for gaming (and movies too), really nice picture quality and the "higher" response time isn't even noticeable, at least to me.

Your LG is 2ms grey-to-grey which is a cheating way of measuring response time. Dell uses black-white, the proper way. Your LG is probably 5ms black-white.]]>Aug 5th 2010 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
The problem is that you simply have no idea what you're talking about. A 7ms response time equates to a 142Hz refresh rate. Computers dish out 60-75hz to the monitor. This thing can update twice as fast as your computer can feed it. Also, the 2ms response time you quoted is BS...as someone else mentioned that's grey to grey response...a way for monitor companies to cheat and give low response numbers. Beyond that, it's an IPS. It's not made for gaming (though I'm sure it would excel at that). It's made for graphic design.]]>Aug 5th 2010 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/Aug 5th 2010 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/Aug 5th 2010 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
The advantage this has over Apple's $999 display is the flexible display position, matte panel and higher vertical resolution.

Black levels look better on Apple's glossy screens but I prefer matte panels. For once, Apple is for the budget-conscious buyer though.

Technically none are for the budget-conscious though. I stick to sub-$300 IPS displays and I'm content.]]>Aug 5th 2010 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
That's wonderful and all but what's the colour accuracy of the display? I'm honestly not that bothered about the other specifications and simply want to know how good it will be for colour-critical work. Is it going to give the NEC and LaCie displays a run for their money?]]>Aug 5th 2010 6:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/Aug 5th 2010 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/Aug 5th 2010 6:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
There was a huge leap from the 3007 to the 3008, the 3007 would only display in two resolutions 2560x1600 and 1280x800. So if you connected a 360 to it by hdmi you could only display up to 1280x800 and not the full 1080p. The 3008wfp came with a hardware scaler built into the monitor which allows all other ports on the monitor to output to 2560x1600 resolution. This allowed the 360 to be plugged in and display 1920x1080 (1080p) resolution and all other devices that you wanted to plug in and use higher resolutions at.

The newer 30 is using an H-IPS display, whereas the 3008 and 3007 both used S-IPS. the H-IPS panels are supposedly better with color accuracy and other visual aspects.]]>Aug 5th 2010 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
Why is this one not called 3009WFP?

I hate it when this happens. You order something, are so excited about it and then your friend links you to the replacement product coming out "Soon™"]]>Aug 5th 2010 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
I'd return it simply because Dell will drop the price on it within days of the new 30 coming out. I picked up my dell 30 for around 900 back in dec 2009, dell then raised the prices to an excessive 1600, the monitors when they came out were around 2k. The apple cinema 30 to my knowledge has no scaler and was only able to reproduct with the 3007 could do so it was a poor performer compared to the dell.

The newer monitor obviously uses an h-ips screen which is supposedly much better than s-ips. You likely will be paying close to 2k for it though if you want that model. The idea is wait for the new model to come out and price drops then buy the 3008wfp :) at a lower price. It's not worth paying 600+ more for the newer model unless you are doing graphic design.]]>Aug 5th 2010 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/Aug 5th 2010 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/Aug 5th 2010 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/IPS displays will not have dead pixels, these are sold to professionals.]]>Aug 5th 2010 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-ultrasharp-u3011-about-to-join-30-inch-ips-monitor-crew/
