Avoid Dell's UltraSharp Monitors by bluedevil_99 on cnet.com Feb 15, 2011
This is a terrific monitor for gaming and HD movies, but I found it completely unsuitable for my office. As one of the other reviews states, the anti-glare coating on this monitor makes reading plain text extremely difficult. The monitor looks great when ...

I would recommend this monitor to graphic designers, photographers or anyone who multi-task a lot...I've never had a complaint about their monitors, in general the Ultrasharp series are great quality for a good price...The first one had a few bad pixels, pretty bad backlight bleedthrough in one corner (and noticeable in all 4 corners) and one dark corner...

Dell goes pro with 27-inch UltraSharp U2711 WQHD LCD monitor (hands-on) -- Engadget
For the pros who make ends meet by editing photos or video, you'll probably enjoy knowing that this one boasts a 110 percent color gamut, factory-tuned Adobe RGB and sRGB modes (alongside a color calibration report), custom color adjustments and a smattering of mounting options...You'll also find just about every port known to man: HDMI 1.3, DisplayPort, DVI-D (x2), VGA, composite, component, USB (x4) and an 8-in-1 multicard reader...The LED in the iMac is LED backlighting that goes behind and lights up the LCD panel, whilst in the U2711 it is probably some kind of CCFL...

The Dell UltraSharp U2711 is one of the new breed of high-resolution 16:9 ratio displays to hit the market...With a high-quality IPS panel, a huge 2,560 x 1,440 resolution, and an equally hefty price tag, the U2711 is a high-end monitor to aspire to...We had few qualms about the quality of the U2711’s IPS panel, though...At its default settings, we recorded an average Delta E of 2.4, which is still very good, albeit with those Delta E figures rising to 5.2 in the blues...Twin DVI inputs are accompanied by VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort and component video inputs, and a 3-in-1 card reader and four port USB hub are crammed in for good measure...
