The Dell 3007WFP - Dell brings the 30-inch LCD love

Vikingod · Dec 5, 2005, 03:02 PM

"There’s no official announcement yet, but apparently Dell is going to roll out a massive 30-inch LCD monitor to compete with Apple’s lust-inducing 30-inch Cinema Display. The 3007WFP is said to have a a resolution of 2560 x 1600 (that’s WQXGA, baby!), a 14ms response time, 400cd/m2 brightness, 700:1 contrast ratio, support for HDCP, and a built-in 4-port USB hub and 9-in-1 multimedia card reader. No price, but it should hit North America on December 21st, which means you’ll have to choose between buying Christmas presents for your loved ones or buying yourself one sweet LCD panel."

Must cost at least both legs and arms

Apples 30 inch has dropped in price recently to £1800, so im guessing with Dells priior competitive pricing it would be £1400-1500.

Yum.

Apparently 2007fpw and 2407fpw will be brought out in Jan/Feb time.

Is it worth waiting for HDCP support and a slightly faster response time (if those are really the specs) or should I go with the 2405fpw?

I don't plan on buying another monitor for a good number of years, so I'm wondering how important this HDCP will really be.
