Dell Ultrasharp U3011 review

Dell's Ultrasharp U3011 packs a whole lot of bang, but is it worth the bucks?

Dell's U3011 is still the ultimate desktop display, but perfection doesn't come cheap

Dell has finally released a new 30-inch monitor to replace the ageing 3008WFP. It's called U3011 and has a quality IPS panel inside. The IPS panel has an impressive 2560x1600 resolution in the 16:10 aspect ratio and Dell also promises good gaming and...

Dell U3011 Ultrasharp Monitor Review

Dell have always had a reputation for creating some of the finest monitors on the market. While they do make a wide array of panels for the mass market audience, they have always focused on the high end technology. Their U2410 has received a lot of...

Good out of the box set up ; Great colour rendition ; high levels of white purity ; rich, deep black definition ; no ghosting ; reasonable power consumption

Dynamic contrast is misleading ; expensive

KitGuru says: Another great screen from Dell which is sure to cement their status in the high end sector.

Dell UltraSharp U3011 review

Simply put, the Dell UltraSharp U3011 is the best 30-inch monitor we've yet seen. Not only does it deliver great performance--which is expected from most devices running at a 2,560x1,600 resolution--but it also has tons of connection options and an OSD...

The Dell UltraSharp U3011 has incredible performance, tons of connection options, and enough OSD features to satisfy most professional artists.

The Dell UltraSharp U3011 has a higher price than other 30-inchers.

The Dell UltraSharp U3011 is an impressive monitor and the most feature-rich 30-incher out there.

Dell U3011 Review: Dell's New 30-inch Flagship

So first up is the display itself. Aesthetically it's almost exactly what you'd expect from Dell in a monitor, and follows their relatively consistent industrial design quite well. The display bezel is entirely black plastic just like we've seen with...

Dell UltraSharp U3011 Review

Dell's 30-inch U3011 features an anti-glare hard coat to reduce reflections, and the 2560x1600 display tilts, swivels, and is height adjustable, but it can't pivot into portrait mode. The monitor is outfitted with two HDMI and two DVI ports, as well as...

Small amount of moire; no portrait mode

Dell UltraSharp U3011

Dell's new 30-incher is amazing, delivering excellent performance and great colour control. The price will stop most though — this monitor is only for the truly serious.

Great screen real estate ; Adobe RGB and sRGB modes ; 10-bit panel ; Reduced screen wake/input switch time ; HDMI PBP with DVI or DisplayPort ; Six-axial colour adjustments ; 24p support

Input lag may disturb some competitive gamers ; Slight judder in Blu-ray panning scenes ; Colour calibration can be extremely time consuming due to menu layout ; Significantly pricier than U2711

The U3011 is massive and sublime. It's by no means cheap, but you're paying for the panel. For those who can justify it, it brings much needed improvements over the 3008WFP. For those who can't, go for the U2711 instead.

Dell UltraSharp U3011 30-inch Monitor Review

There are two types of power users on this planet, and they consist of those who use a 30-inch monitor, and those who don't. The latter far outnumber the former, but thanks to a number of factors, this particular digital divide is growing smaller by...

Review: Dell UltraSharp U3011

Dell comes out swinging with an advanced 30-inch pro LCD.

Superb color depth ; Huge selection of input and ports ; Tilt, swivel and height ; Taller resolution ; Easy onscreen controls

Undeniably expensive ; Plastic bezel and frame ; Limited adjustment range

Design and specsThe 30-inch viewable LCD panel in the U3011 has a 16:10 aspect ratio and a native resolution of 2560x1600. At this resolution users will need a dual-link DVI or full-size DisplayPort connector (a mini-to-full DisplayPort adapter
