http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/500x_dellnewnew.jpgDell's U2711, on sale for $1,100 today, seems like the monitor dreams are made of, with 2560x1440 resolution, 100 percent representation of the sRGB color space, 6ms response and a window-friendly matte finish. There's just one, tiny catch.
This Dell monitor is believed to use the same LG-sourced panel that's been plaguing iMacs. You know, the yellow one (http://gizmodo.com/tag/faultyimacsaga).
To make matters worse, some have already complained that these LG-sourced monitors are already causing problems in the Dell monitor line (https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&view=bsp&ver=1qygpcgurkovy).
The potential issues haven't prevented Dell from securing a CNET Editor's Choice (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=3&ved=0CEkQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Flcd-monitors%2Fdell-ultrasharp-u2711%2F4505-3174_7-33913833.html&ei=OvNyS-yLLJT-Nb3Khf0J&usg=AFQjCNHdXMDNu0wwYcyEJ3GJR7NsRNvZWg) on the U2711, so maybe they've just fine. But I would strongly recommend you take a look at the return policy before ordering.
