I just looked at the Dell site. The models I'm looking at are the U2410 (NZ$1,099) and U2711 (NZ$1,799). If I could get a price like that I wouldn't hesitate. > The U2711 is also one of few monitors, along with the likes of the expensive > HP DreamColour series, that supports 30-bit colour.

I have a friend who owns a DreamColor display but I haven't had the pleasure of seeing it. > Note the U2711 won't swivel with its supplied stand. The U2410 will. The only thing that really attracts me to the 27" is the higher pixel count. I'm intending to use it in fullscreen mode with the laptop display being used for toolboxes. I get frustrated editing portrait-orientation photos on my wide laptop screen so being able to pivot the monitor around would be a bonus. I could just buy a third-party stand for the 27". Thanks a lot for your input.
