I've used various larger sized monitors, the dell u3011 has the most accurate colour replication out of the box with minimal tweaking required. It has an extremely easy menu interface, more so than other brands i've used, ghosting for games is not an issue at all, game play is crystal clear and flawless, for gamers, i'd recommend this monitor over any 120hz monitor available today. Huge variety of input options available. It is, however, a bit on the power hungry side, boot up time is slightly slower than smaller dell monitors, and lacks a pivot option which some people want. In summation, aside from some small discrepancies, playing games, video and photographic editing and illustration and even web surfing, the dell u3011 is an amazing monitor. I'm getting another 2! :D
Pros:games, photographic illustration, Video Editing, movies
