      Thanks, that didn't turn up in my static ice search. Will update accordingly.
      Edit: Hmm… it actually does turn up now… Either I missed it, or it's updated.

    No NSW Stock

  • Curiosity on 17/05/2013 - 14:45

    Any one know any stores in NSW that will price match?

    Everyone should keep in mind this isn't the same as the U2711 which has a resolution of 2560x1440 and includes a larger range of connections (second DVI-D, display port, component) or a USB stick. I believe the U2711 has a "better" IPS panel, H-IPS. I am not too certain about that.

    Just be warned, this isn't some new cheap alternative for an Ultrasharp.

    • Maz78 on 17/05/2013 - 15:29

      Yep. That's the panel I really want. Wish it was listed at this price though!

      • Coops1 on 17/05/2013 - 19:47

        I got the refurb U2713HM on the Dell Outlet yesterday @$400. They don't get any cheaper than that…well I had seen them @ $399. Delivery next week.

        • dy4me on 17/05/2013 - 20:37

          yesterday? did they have it listed on the website? cuz it isnt now.

    What's the point of a giant 1920 x 1080 screen, when you could get the same in a smaller size and waste less space/energy?

      Movies and games are much better on a big screen.

      For games, you actually don't necessarily want a res above 1080p, unless you have the cash for a pricey GPU or two to play games smoothly on it. And of course, movies are still 1080p max for now…

        2560 x 1440 is way better for a 27".

        If your GPU isn't powerful enough, you don't need to run native res, particularly at 1080p vs 1440p. Meanwhile you still get the benefits of a proper 2560x1440 display in less demanding games, and apps.

        If your GPU particularly sucks you can also just render 720p and play pixel doubled.

        • Curiosity on 17/05/2013 - 17:33

          Are there decent 27" 2560 x 1440 at this price?

    • killergreely on 17/05/2013 - 15:37

      So you're suggesting I should sell my 55" Toshiba and watch my Blurays on a 20" monitor?

      • [Deactivated] on 17/05/2013 - 16:03

        Same. My Samsung 51" Plasma 'only' does 1080p. Time to 'upgrade' it to a 27" 2560x1440 Dell.

    I splurged on a decent 27" IPS screen and a 680 gfx card to power it - I can't tell you how fantastic it looks when you're gaming. If you're a gamer and wondering whether to pay the extra - definitely do it!

    • leetec on 17/05/2013 - 23:58

      7ms screen for gaming? never heard a serious gamer will recommend that

      • videoman on 19/05/2013 - 07:12

        What 27" IPS screen do you use Wampus?

      • Wampus on 19/05/2013 - 15:58

        leetec: Where in my post did you imagine that I said anything about 7ms

        videoman: Dell 27", the decent ones go for in the 500 range

    60 MHz is meh. If you are going to go for a 1920*1080 on 27', you should really get a 120 MHz display. Samsung 950A or something would do the trick. Think they go for about $400.

    I'm typing this post on this monitor right now.

    • Resolution is decent
      Everything looks good but doesn't amaze like when you're playing with those big iMacs at the apple store
    • Beautiful glossy glass screen but no anti-glare
      Looks great if there isn't too much lighting but lots of glare with fluorescent lights behind you
    • Very well designed
      Looks amazing

    Another option at a similar price range would be to get the korean catleap monitors on ebay. 27" IPS monitors with 2560x1440 resolution.

    • mr_asstight on 18/05/2013 - 18:37

      Korean same as kamakasi?

  • excite on 17/05/2013 - 17:11

    nice price, and this monitor does not use PWM (flicker free), just I suspect the reflective glossy screen may not be good for my eyes.

  • Jackson on 18/05/2013 - 14:59

    Only Full HD, may as well be a 27" TV
