I have a big soft spot for Dell 30-inch screens, I have used Dell's original 30-inch screen since the thing came out and never regretted my choice. Dell has announced that its newest 30-inch screen is not shipping called the UltraSharp U3011. The screen has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 and a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and up to 100,000:1 dynamic.

The panel has a response time of 7ms that will prevent ghosting and other issues in fast motion video or video games. The screen has a brightness rating of 370cd/m2. The viewing angles are 178-degrees horizontally and vertically. The screen can reproduce 1.07 billion colors.

The pixel dot pitch is 0.251 and it comes with a stand that tilts, swivels, and is height adjustable. The screen has lots of connectivity with a VGA port, dual DVI-D with HDCP, and dual HDMI inputs. The screen can be ordered now for $1499.
