Dell UltraSharp U2711 review: Dell UltraSharp U2711

Dell UltraSharp U2711

The Dell UltraSharp U2711 has a super high-resolution screen that shows images in a fidelity we've not seen on a 27-inch display before. Also, the monitor exhibits deep blacks while watching movies, vibrant color in games, has a robust onscreen...

The Dell UltraSharp U2711 is missing the pivot option that the U2410 had. Also, buyers may find its price prohibitive.

The Dell UltraSharp U2711 is a feature-rich monitor with incredible performance that earns its high price.

Dell UltraSharp U2711

This monitor is bursting with video ports. At the rear of the cabinet are HDMI and DisplayPort connections, two DVI ports, a VGA port, component video ports, and a composite video port. There are also three additional USB ports, one of which is an...

Very good color and light grayscale performance. Lots of A/V ports and multimedia features. Wide viewing angle. High res screen

Pricey. Some trouble displaying dark grays. No pivot adjustment

The Dell UltraSharp U2711 lives up to its name and displays an excellent array of colors. While it may have some trouble with the dark grays this monitor makes up for that in its numerous features and keeping a good track record, as far as Dell's go.

Three 27" IPS LCDs: UltraSharp U2711, DS-277W, And MultiSync PA271W

Many of you asked for a round-up of 27" IPS-based displays, and here it is. Although these screens feature similar specifications, you might be ...

There's a general perception that IPS-based displays offer superior performance to those based on TN technology, but that isn't always the case. Although in-plane switching does improve the viewing angle issues and color reproduction suffered by...

Quick Review: Dell UltraSharp U2711 27-inch LCD Monitor

We start our new Quick Reviews in style with a sensational looking 27" monitor from Dell. Looks can be deceiving, though. But are they in this case?

A great OSD, sharp resolution and stylish looks make for a beautiful monitor. You're going to pay for it, though. It's worth taking the time and calling Dell or finding a local rep to try and knock a good couple of %s off the retail price or just...

Dell UltraSharp U2711 Review

In the age of full HD, the size of the display plays an as big a role as the quality of the content does. The time ...

The Dell UltraSharp U2711 is available in India at a price of Rs. 44,000. The monitor does exceedingly well in terms of design, features and performance and it does not have any real cons going for it. The only real issue we have is with its price, for...
