To be honest, I don't really care that much anymore. The ACD is not worth the extra glare and the extra money and the lack of connection options.

I've gotten used to it now and I don't think it's worth the money and waiting to go with the Apple display and the lack of connection options. Besides, I like to let sunlight in so reflections would be an actual problem.

I've had my Dell Ultrasharp U2711 for a few days now and I really like it now when I've gotten past being annoyed by the antiglare. A question though, does the stand hold the monitor perfectly level in the topmost position? In the upper positions on my stand, the right side is about a...

So I got the Dell today and I set it up with my MacBook Pro and I'm sitting in front of it right now typing this. My impressions: When the display is completely dark, the low right of the display is a bit brighter than the rest of the display. It changes when I move my head. Is this the...

No problem! Nice to actually hear someone acknowledge that they should not assume so :) In any case, if the Dell doesn't work out I'll get the ACD.

Over here it's a bit different: http://www.dustinhome.se/dell-u2711-ultrasharp-27-wide-tft-black/product/5010380195 http://www.dustinhome.se/apple-led-cinema-27-wide-hd-tft/product/5010471247?intcmp=searchProvider_dacsa...

I ordered the Dell U2711 just now. We'll see if I like it. It's doubtful but in case I do, I get away much cheaper than with the ACD.

How is the contrast of the S27A850D compared to the others I'm considering?

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the Dell is actually cheaper than the HP in Sweden.

I do agree with you regarding illumination. I used to have my room pitch dark but now can't stand it anymore.

Of course one can invert the color theme, it's possible in all but the most basic of editors. But I happen to like dark text on a white background. It seems a bit silly to say that the reason people take issue is that they're doing it wrong. Surely, a monitor must must be able to cleanly display...

Backlight bleed might not be an actual rational issue but I'm a but anal about such things, especially when it comes to watching movies and such. I'm leaning towards getting the Dell and arguing that it's defective if the AG bothers me... I hate choosing stuff to buy...

I checked out the ACD at a store today and the glare was pretty distracting to be honest. But the lighting in the store was also terrible so it might not be a problem at home. I wonder what poison I will choose...

My main usage is programming with mostly bright background and dark text. That's a lot of text ;) I like to do the occasional bit of graphics and I watch a lot of TV shows. Of course, I use my browser as much as the next guy. All of this makes me lean toward the ACD.

I have nothing against AG per se, all my monitors that I ever owned have been AG, including the one on my MacBook Pro. The problem is that I've heard that the one on most 27" IPS is a whole different beast.
