    Posted: 18 Apr 2010 at 11:43am
Hi am in the final stages of ordering a new DS gaming rig and the last piece is a Hi Res monitor (2560 or 2440) to take advantage of the brand new 480 graphics card.
 
I am leaning towards a Dell u2711 or a 3008. I know they are different aspects ratios so I am not looking for a discussion about that (I think I can live with either ratio).
 
What I am interested in is has anybody seen these two monitors side by side?
 
Is the new u2711 technology far superior to the 3 year old 3008 model?
 
Since I will be maxing out the grapihic settings in every game, I am looking for the most visually pleasing monitor for gaming.
 
Any insight into people having and using either or both of these monitors would be greatly appreciated and help me make my final decision.
 
Thanking you in advance for your help!!!!

I have a 3007 and love it. I also feel that it is "almost to BIG"  lol.

3008 IMO, they both have the same res but the 3008 is a 30" which IMO is much better.

How far back do you have to sit from a 30" for it to look good?
 
Just want to make sure I have enough room on my desk to make the viewing pleasureable.
