this review helped me to decide for the u2711. very informative.

to me, i dont feel that it is necessary to wait for the LED backlight version if one is in need of a monitor and LED backlight is not a must have feature when i buy a monitor.

received my u2711 last wednesday. the color reproduction is superd and in a totally different league compared to my old samsung t220 (actually not even worth comparing). i do not notice any bleeding but i was not really paying much attention to that. I was too busy testing out the dragon age 2, dawn of war 2 and civilization V with max settings.

i prefer a single larger monitor than tri-monitor setup (u2311h x 3) with borders in between due to the frames on the monitors. by the way, my work desk has limited space and i don't like it too crowded. i had uploaded the photos of my system in this thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1638975/+760 (look at post # 764).

Anyway, perhaps u feel it is better value for the money but for me, that is not a deciding factor. For me to spend that much of money, i think i'm no longer thinking whether it is value for money or not but rather, the satisfaction of owning one.

3 x u2311h will run at the resolution of 5760 x 1080. Even my hd6990 will be hard pressed to run at that resolution in some games (with everything maxed out) unless i add an extra hd6970 . I prefer to run at a resolution whereby i can max out everything, without have to worry about lagging and my graphic card can provide me with a smooth gaming experience and I can enjoy the best graphic quality the games can offer.

if you compare both, i would say the difference is significant in terms of color reproduction. i had a 1.5 years old t220 and the ultrasharp is just in another league.

enjoy your new monitor.
