Home now and tried that, looks very similar to "fill" and 16:9. the 1:1 looks insanely good(such a small box), which is it's native I am assuming, like you said its more than double when "filling".
Thanks for the reassurance guys, was going a little out of my mind thinking something was wrong!
I hooked up my xbox 360 to my u3011 via hdmi. I am seeing really poor quality/jaggy edges on text and outlines of pretty much everything.
I am assuming it's because it's scaling everything to 16:10? Just from a quick thought on it, should I throw the u3011 into 16:9 mode for that input and...
pulled the trigger on the EVGA 670 SC from amazon (love prime...). The gigabyte version was either OOS already or not released?
Hope i don't regret waiting for the 4gb model, lets see how long it takes amazon to get the 4gb model, might be good for a return!
wondering i should wait for the 4gb version to be sold... running a u3011 at 2560x1600. 670 should be more than enough power at 2gb.
what do you guys think?
waiting on the egg and amazon myself... lets see how long it takes. My luck i'll head to a meeting and BAM they get posted and sellout within the hour.
you know what's funny, mine are defaulted with minimal changes, i would give them to you but it wouldn't make a difference. the color profile is what made the biggest difference :( sorry bro!
dcho, others settings might not work as well as you think cause of differences in panels (blue tints, uneven color etc..) best to pickup a spyder to calibrate it if you are already spending 1k on the monitor. just my 2 cents!
Wow man, you made me think of some great memories... busting out the tape recorder to get past that one part you had to match the tones in myst... haha ever play 7th Guest?? heard there is an iOS version out.
Couple that come to mind for me(in no apparent order):
1. Mad Dog McCree... hahaha...
Sadly i paid a little more, but i hope its worth it. the guy said they are almost brand new condition and go through a very strict review process. There inst 'crap out there for sell, and i don't want to chance it via dell outlet for $200. Somehow i can never get the DFS $89 deal, but i hear the...
haha...i don't get why/how they can sell it 400 bucks cheaper in CA and not the US. maybe they need to move stock up there.
For you guys buying U3011's new and wanting a 2nd monitor to match it perfect, the 2007FP is the monitor to get, its 4:3 ratio 1600 x 1200 res match up perfect...
Damn, you got lucky!! The rep i talked to on the phone said it was mostly due to warranty replacements and their facilities in Canada etc. Glad it worked out for you and that i know its possible now!!
I tried at least once every day via chat or phone to get them to lower the price. This was even when dell.ca had the monitor for $999. They wouldn't budge at all, best they could do was $100 off at the $1399 price, which is what they end up selling it for anyways. I got to the point where I...
Yeah i found a few for 135 shipped and they say no dead pixels or scuffs / marks on the screen but could be blemishes on the plastic.... we'll see. might pull the trigger. buying something "off lease" makes me get cold feet. Guess you gotta take a chance!
yeah, so far i am finding dust clinging to the air conditioner filter. looks to be working out ok after 3/4 days. lets see about 3/4 months and then i'll know haha.
I would also wait for a deal from Dell, I've seen the u3011 go for as low as $1024. Dell.ca had it for $999 a couple weeks back, but they would not ship to the US/warranty problems :( I contacted a CSR and he said to hold out for promotions that will be coming soon for the u3011. Not sure what...
Wish I could do that, desk only fits my U3011 and 2007FP right now. no way possible to put this rig on the desk and i am not sure elevating it any would help. I'll see how this air conditioner material works out for now and report back in a month... haha
nah, didnt think you were arguing at all :) hope it all works out for you. Make sure the warranty is in tact and if you need to transfer it here is the link!

i would set up deal alerts for all the monitors you are interested in. I just so happened to look at the for sale section here and found a guy selling one literally brand new (only used 3 months) for $900 shipped, 1 dead pixel you cant even notice and no real problems with bluing on the screen...
Adding in another vote for the U3011. I picked one up barely used from here on the FS forums (thanks picool!).
Loving it so far, 2560x1600 is an unreal. I don't notice any delay at all and I have played skyrim / diablo3 beta / SWTOR so far on it for long stints. I came from 2x LG 22" 1680x1050...
Thanks for the info all. The problem with the HAF is that there is only one rear spot for exhaust, I could reverse that top fan, but its exposed and i feel like it would pull anything down into it that floats by since it sits under an open sided desk in the corner.
I might try the material i...
I have a Cooler Master HAF Mid tower, sitting on hardwood floors. The room is a decent size for a NYC area apartment (12x35 for the kitchen and living room?). My fiance and I trek near the computer desk a lot as it sits between our kitchen and living room.
I am running the front fan as an...
Nice - tell them you are looking to carpet an office or computer room. Ask for samples to take with you to "match", they should hook you up, maybe try to get 4 similar colors. Let us know how it turns out!
did you ever find any settings for this? I actually picked up 2 of these...mine out of the box seem to have a "yellowish" tint to them, but tweaking them w/ diff contrast / brightness settings i can get them decent.
also with using the preset color settings, multimedia and desktop is 2 diff...
