Last month Dell previewed its high-end UltraSharp U2711 widescreen display at CES last month. Dell’s UltraSharp monitors are optimized for best-in-class front of screen and a multimedia viewing experience, and provide users enhanced connectivity and usability.

We really tried to bring it together with the U2711, incredible performance, multiple connection options, and WQHD 2,560 x 1,440 resolution in a wide aspect 16:9 ratio that makes it ideal for working with Full HD devices and beyond for the ultimate digital media experience.

When we previewed this at CES last month, the response was very encouraging. To date, the U2711 won both the CNET Editors’ choice and Anandtech Gold Editors’ Choice awards and has received numerous reviews.
Available today in North America, South America and Asia (it will be available in Europe soon), the U2711 is priced at $1099 in the US, and is ideal for businesses and enthusiasts who demand precise color accuracy, and support for industry color standards in their work or leisure activities. For example, the U2711 uses 12-bit internal color processing with the ability to output 10-bit color. That means users can get 1024 levels of grey instead of just 256. 24-bit vs. 30-bit color also means you get a color palette of 1.07 billion instead of 16.7 million, which means that it’s a great display to view high-resolution photos or Blu-ray discs because of the way that it displays natural and vibrant colors.
U2711 also comes with an extensive connectivity of ports which makes it easy to access and connect to peripheral and AV devices. Available in a matte black chassis with a gray highlight running through the middle of the panel, its sophisticated design communicates simplicity and comfort for users with considerate details such as the height adjustable stand, tilt and swivel features, proximity touch buttons, and an easily accessible media card reader. And to top it all, these features are supported by Dell Premium Panel Guarantee (PPG), and Dell’s solid and reliable warranty.

If you are interested in a professional display without the exorbitant professional price range, and you want substantially better quality than any entry-level display, then I think the UltraSharp U2711 is worth a look. Click on the image below to see detailed specifications.
