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 one analog VGA and one DisplayPort input.
Pros:
- Great text reproduction
- vibrant colors
Cons:
- Small amount of moire
- no portrait mode

Lossless 5.1 audio for pc.
If you have the money and want the best pc monitor on planet earth then this is it.
Pros:
- The only way I can get lossless 5.1 audio with my Logitech Z 5500 sound system
- Connect with the HDMI and use the three 3.5 mm audio cables to the speakers, lossless audio
Cons:
- Not touchscreen, no 3D, no speakers, no web cam and mic, and no TV tuner
- But still get 5 stars

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 the day.

Dell 30 Inch
Gaming on this at 2560 x 1600 is superb. Playing EVE Online, I see little details I never see on monitors running 1920 x 1080.

I could go into glowing prose about the Dell monitor, but I opted for a short anecdotal review. You can read all about the specs and the features elsewhere. The real question is how does it compare to other monitors in real world use? The Dell u3011 is my third 30" monitor and the best of the bunch.
Pros:
- Big and bright
- lots of inputs and lots of tweaking control
Cons:
- Image scaler could be better
- Not an issue if you only run native resolution

Got one directly from Dell at a special price (1800 NZD) which is one of the best deals I have ever had :) I know if I would not get one, I will regret, and as expected this 30" IPS monitor just works great!

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

Great monitor you'll really like if you can handle the price.
This is a spectacular monitor that will delight your eyes every day you use it. It's sometimes hard justifying the price of a 30 inch monitor with 27 inchers being so much cheaper but that extra screen area is nice when you're working on it everyday.

Excellent Monitor that is showing its age
The Dell U3011 has been out for over a year now, other companies are releasing LED backlight monitors but most of them are not 10 bit color. Many say that 10 bit color is not needed and most people don't have the hardware to support it anyway.
Pros:
- High connectivity, Dual HDMI, Dual DVI, VGA, DP and composite connectors
- Has Active and passive USB extension from PC and xD/SD/MS and MMC right on the side of the monitor
- Fine dot pitch, IPS panel
- Factory calibrated and supports Adobe RGB and 10bit color.
Cons:
- Expensive! CCFL and not LED backlight
- If switching between inputs sometimes the U3011 will not see signal and requires poweroff/on sequence to wake it back up
- No rotate to verticle support
- The monitor requires a warm up period before maximum color accuracy is achieved (about 5 minutes).
