Heaps of heat very inefficient design just turn down the brightness to like 30ish and it should be a bit cooler

Mine doesn't seem to like portable hard drives

I've had one of these U2711s for around a year and a half (can't remember exactly how long). It's an awesome screen, best screen I've owned.

Mine chucks out a bit of heat as well, especially today in Melb where it's 35 deg-ish. I haven't had any problems with it at all despite the warmth coming out of it on hot days, and there is always the 3 year warranty.

To the person asking about whether the USB ports in the screen are powered, I've had no issues using USB flash sticks on it or charging my phone from it.

The anti-glare coat is a bit dingier than it could be but it's not a deal-breaker and I got used to it in around a week. I'm not a fan of glossy screens at all.

I paid $620 for it all that time ago and it was well worth it.

Hmm...strange. I've had no problems powering my portable hard drives, usb drives, and charge phone. I also have no problems transferring data to and from those devices.

Sold mine, wish I didnt.. but meh AG coating always bugged me anyway and it was a hot display, so I'm going to get a 1440p PLS Samsung 9 series display instead with glossy screen.

Any way to stack some coupons on with the $719 its going for now?

Malachor · 27th February 2012, 1:51 PM

I tried the RACQ/motoring organisation coupon and it replaces the discount(making it ~$764).

Sundarjee77 · 29th February 2012, 11:05 PM

I tried the dell chat and they were pretty useless, wouldn't come down from the $719 price, ended up getting a mint one 2nd hand for $500.

Very kickass monitor

ChesterMcCheese · 4th March 2012, 6:56 PM

how do you get it down to $719 from $899 it is now?
