I received my U3011 last week. I ordered it on Cyber Monday from Dell Canada for only 1049$. Rev A05 / Oct 2011congrats on the sick setup nightrain
i personally use sRGB...yes I do agree standard preset looks great too....but my eyes have become more comfortable with sRGB colors...because I've been using other sRGB colored monitors (HP ZR24w).
Now every time I put my U3011 in standard, i feel like the colors are very over powering....funny thing is, at the beginning of the year, when I had my first U3011, I thought standard was perfect...and sRGB way too dull
I use the sRGB preset all the time. I installed the U3011 sRGB ICC profile from the TFT Central website. The colors are already calibrated. I have a Nikon D5100 camera and the JPEG files are in sRGB mode also. The color matching is perfect. And no backlight bleeding.
At least, I found the right monitor! Because I tried already the new Samsung S27A850D with their new PLS technology... The AG coating is perfect but unfortunately, the PLS monitors produce heavy backlight bleeding. So I didn't keep this monitor. See for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtAEktzM4M8
Also, the pixels are bigger on the 30" monitor so it's much more easier to read the text on the screen.
