It's only been in the last year that widescreen desktop displays have become popular, even as the majority of consumer-oriented mobile PCs have become widescreen. In that year, we've seen several formats emerge, ranging from 19-inch, 1440x900 displays up through 30-inch, four megapixel monsters like the HP LP3065. In between are 20-inch, 21-inch and 22-inch 1680x1050 displays, and the pricier 23 and 24-inch 1920x1200 units. Now Dell is attempting to introduce yet another form factor: a 1920x1200 native resolution, 27-inch diagonal widescreen monitor, the UltraSharp 2707WFP.
A 27-inch display fits into a rather odd space. It's a 2.3 megapixel display, like the smaller 23 and 24-inch models, but it offers more physical real estate – roughly 331 square inches versus approximately 265 square inches for a 24-inch monitor. That translates to a pixel pitch of 0.303mm (versus 0.270mm for a 24-inch, 1920x1200 monitor.) You would think that the coarser pixel pitch would be pretty visible, but I've only noticed it with Windows XP set to large fonts, and then only when peering closely at said large fonts rendered in white on a screen with a black background. Mostly, it's not apparent.
The other bit of new technology, beyond the size, is the color gamut. The 2707WFP is a 92% NTSC color gamut LCD, like the HP LP3065. As such, it has the potential of displaying a richer set of colors than older LCDs, which are on the order or 80% NTSC.
However, the 2707WFP has one key negative: price: The Dell UltraSharp 2707WFP costs a whopping $1,399.

good grief at 1400 * 7.3 it's mighty expensive... for a 27' I would expect them to raise the resolution to at least past the 20xx mark...
I ain't complaining tho, it was a present
