Dell's 27-Inch LCD Does 2560 x 1440 But No LEDs
Dell's ultraSharp U2711 27-inch LCD monitor offers a high resolution and a decent pricetag.
Looking for a new LCD screen with a high resolution but without the space-eating size of a large display? Meet Dell's UltraSharp U2711, a 27-inch monitor slapped with a modest $1,099.00 pricetag and a tasty 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) native resolution (60 Hz). This LCD should be ideal for PC gamers HD video enthusiasts alike. Although at that pixel density, we suspect graphic designers and photographers will find the new panel a joy to work with.
Despite its high density resolution, the U2711 uses passes over LEDs, and instead is backlit by a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL). The monitor offers a 16:9 aspect ratio, a maximum dynamic contrast ratio of 80,000:1, and a response time of 6ms. For gamers and designers, Dell has thrown in Custom Color modes that enables the screen to cover a wide, "outstanding" color gamut.
Dell's U2711 also comes packed with a USB 2.0 hub (1 upstream, 4 downstream) and plenty of connectivity: HDMI 1.3, DisplayPort, DVI-D with HDCP, and more. There's also a 8 in 1 media reader so you can view photos straight off an SD card.
Dell offers a variety of monitor accessories, cables, and warranties that will jack the price up a considerable amount.

Pricy, and no LED? Ohh well LED is not the latest one. I dont remember but there is a new one.
it's about time people start talking about resolution.
anything below 1680x1024 stinks...
Nice! Think i'll just stick with my Dell 22" running at 1920x1080 for now!
That's a very nice ISP monitor, and has a good price for such a panel.
Remember - these panels aren't targeted for general gaming/multimedia use, but for professional use, as they can have very precise colour reproduction (if well calibrated using specialized tools) and wide view angles. These are used for CAD/CAM/DCC/Photo and Video editing applications, where precision is a critical must.
Related to LED, the same panel is used on the 27" Apple iMac display which has some problems, except those are LED backlit.
Cheers.
