Dell debuts updated 30-inch display

Dell today revised its flagship 30-inch display to increase appeal for artists and other color-sensitive users. The improved 3007WFP-HC incorporates a cold cathode fluorescent light designed to dramatically increase color accuracy, according to Electronista. Most computer LCDs display only 72 percent of the NTSC color gamut, but Dell claims the cold cathode in the 3007WFP-HC raises this to a full 92 percent, making the monitor an ideal work environment for photographers. The display similarly improves the pixel response time to 8ms, and optionally uses a speaker bar for sound in small desktop environments. The display also features a 9-in-2 card reader and a 4-port USB 2.0 hub. Dell expects to ship the HC variant of the 3007WFP by the end of 2006 for $1,700.

Its says DULL on the front. Other than that it seems like a great screen. Make the brand name removable and you might get my sale. Would be caught dead with a DULL in my house.

A small strip of black electrical tape has hidden the name on my 20 inch widescreen display since the day I got it, and I almost never look behind the display to see the large DELL cast into the plastic there.

Cheers

So, you wouldn't be caught dead with one in your house? Yet removing the name makes it OK? What if someone looks at the back? Or can just tell from its bezel that its a Dell?

Then again, the pain of ignoring the Dell logo (do people really spend that much time seeing/fretting over the logo on their screen that they have to put tape over it?) seems a lot easier then the pain in the wallet buying Apple's flat panels, which cost more and have far less features.

This is one of the less hideous things the boys in Texas have rolled out.

OT: @testudo: I'm sure I'm not the first to notice, but it seems you never post without showing us that axe you're griding. Is it possible to reply a poster without raking them over the coals? Let go of the hate, man!

On topic: if I had enough desk space, I'd sport this screen in spite of the logo.

"and optionally uses a speaker bar for sound in small desktop environments"

To talk about a 30" display and a small desk environment in the same paragraph seems a bit oxymoronic, no?

Dell still has issues with aesthetics. If that grey bar wasn't visible below the monitor it would look much better. And if it is like the normal configuration you'll have a cable sticking out the bottom of the monitor like the Dell screen I'm staring at right now at work.

I just recently bought a Dell WP24007, the 24" widescreen display and I am extremely happy with it. It has better specs than the Apple 23" Cinema Display, a three year warranty and it was $300 less. I love Apple as much as the next guy here, but I'm (arguably) no fool. Personally I think it's silly to worry about a Dell logo or any other label if the product is of good quality, as I believe Dell monitors generally are.
