Dell Ultrasharp U2711 Review

Dell's Ultrasharp U2711 is an expensive LCD monitor from Dell. It's $1,049. Very expensive for some home users. But professionals users may be thinking that its price is not too expensive if compared to its rich features and performance.

This 27-inch monitor has 2,560x1,440 resolution and 16:9 aspect ration. With its price, it should be 1080p ready. The response rate is 6ms. It has matte black chassis with a gray highlight. We think it might be too large for home users who only use computer to browse the internet or listening to music. But it is a dream of every professionals in graphics design.

U2711's panel can be unscrewed from the stand and mounted on the wall. But there is only landscape mode, no portrait mode at all.

There are five buttons on the lower right-hand corner of the bezel. You can change the OSD menu with these buttons. Unfortunately the U2410 OSD button's sensitivity is low. Sometimes you should push them harder to make them work.

The Dell UltraSharp U2711 have a complete OSD menu. You can change its brightness, contrast, and various color options with the OSD. You can also change the hue, sharpness, and color saturation with the OSD menu.

There are a lot of video connection options. VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort, Component, Composite, and two DVI ports. There are also two USB downstream ports, one USB upstream port, an audio out port, and a speaker port. There are two more USB downstream ports and one card reader port on the left side of the panel. The complete connection options is a must if we look at the price.

If you're a graphic professional, then this monitor is for you. Yes it is expensive, butworth it.
