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.
While we mull on the price a bit, let's take a look at the display itself. Continued...
