Re the Dell U2711 monitor, before buying one do take careful note of
the differences between that and the newer U2713HM. After reading
numerous reviews of both, I decided the HM was the better choice,
and it's quite a bit cheaper too. I'm typing on it now.
However, if you can make use of the wider colour gamut, etc.,
an U2711 for $600 isn't to be sniffed at...
