And it could now be yours, for a cool £1,007.

How much? Save up another £400 and you get the 27" iMac with the same panel! Dell must think we are mugs. Oh well, that won't be my next monitor then.

Is this the same panel thats been cocking up the imacs?

Yep, the same LG one. However I don't think this one is LED backlit. Mind you with dells recent history of quality difficulties (the 2410 springs to mind) I could forsee similar problems.

Meh.. why not save up a bit more and go for 30"?

PK

Don't think its a gaming panel - shame really! Was looking for a nice over sized monitor :D

Why not £999? Surely that'd make much more sense?

Want!

Maybe that was the project price before the VAT rise? ;)

It would need to be substantially cheaper to seem a realistic option in my eyes. 30" is just too close in terms of price.

would get this but LG's 30" is only £699 if you can find one.

but its $1000 in the US. :( damn $ to £ replacement.

looks like OCUK's going to get it for £938 inc VAT, just under £800 with VAT exclusion, I'll go ahead and say £150 less and I'd buy it

Got my U2711 for £680 on ebay! Bargain! Fantastic Monitor! :juggle:

Just seen this. Seems a really good monitor. How well is 2560x1440 supported in games, etc?

Considering that 2048x1152 has been supported by virtually every game I've played over the last few months (even GTA Vice City and games of that era), I'd put my money on "fairly well".
