Hello All,

I have not researched much on other monitor brands, and I'm thinking of going for Dell U2715H as a work and gaming monitor. I have a macbook and will get a windows gaming rig with GTX970 Gigabyte.

Work is mostly excel, word and emails and will plug in the Macbook pro. For games I play mostly MMORPG (GW2, Aion etc).

Is the U2715H a good buy for this purpose? One thing I have to admit, I hate Matte screens but I could not find a quality 27" 1440p Glossy monitor. The only one available is Apple's Thunderbolt and I heard it's near impossible to connect to a regular graphics card. It may be possible only if you use software like Lucid Virtu and I hate the hassle.

I used to own an Apple Cinema display and it was gorgeous with the glossy screen. I feel matte is like watching porn with transparent squares.. Maybe I am wrong and this is a beautiful display. I have no where to have a look at it since most resellers don't stock this model.

I know I don't have much choice and Dell only has the glossy 27 inch in 1080p.

Appreciate any form of feedback and if I should shoot for the U2715H?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Went for it... Waiting delivery lets see how it goes..
