Is it weird that I want this monitor to put on top of my 3007HC? Already have the 2007 wings...
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

If this was below $400, I would sorely tempted to finally upgrade from my 20 inch 1650 res monitor...
How's the AG coating?

I like it. Matte is the way to go.
Matte is a broad term. How light is it? Pictures with the screen off and a light source hitting the screen might help assess this.
How tall is the actual screen without the bezel?
The vertical for a 29" 21:9 screen is:
11.27" inches.
My current 24" 16:10 vertical is:
12.7"
That is a fairly significant step back IMO.
If this was 32" it wouldn't be too bad at 12.4"
This is really only for wide screen gaming fanatics IMO.
I would much rather have a 30" 2560x1600 or even a 27" 2560x1440.
I just spoke to somebody at Dell and he said he thinks it's closer to 12-12.5". He said the screen height without stand is 14.2 (per specs on the Dell website) and that the bezel is probably about 1" top and 1" bottom or very close to it.
Also, I just noticed on the Dell site that the preset screen height is 12.16". I am guessing this is the screen measurement I was looking for.
It doesn't matter what he thinks. The math is quite simple and unarguable.
The active screen area is only about 11.3" tall for a 29" , 21:9 (2.37:1) screen.
The Dell site says 12.16" height wise and 27.30 across though. :/I'm pretty sure 12.16 x 27.30 is 21:9.
.
I am pretty sure it isn't and I have math on my side, not gut feelings. Errors on web pages aren't exactly a new phenomena.
They also claim it is .26 mm dot pitch(or more accurately .2628 from LG). Multiply by 1080 and convert to inches and you get close to 11.2", no where near 12".
Wether you calculate from Pythagorean theorem, or with dot pitch, you end up around 11.2" in height.
12" is a mistake.
It is listed at Anandtech as 12.16 x 27.30 as well (Same size as the LG released in August). Not saying you're wrong, I just want to know for sure.
Lower resolution, not as wide, smaller total screen area, lower DPI...I am surprised this does not get more attention, this would be better than eyefinity IMO as it has no bezel
Some of playerwares input lag measurement are significantly higher than they actually are in reality. Most high res displays with scalers have around 12-19ms of input lag (17ms is the most common), anything above is very rare for monitors these days.
Straight from LG Korea:
http://www.lge.co.kr/lgekr/product/detail/LgekrProductDetailCmd.laf?prdid=eprd6006327#tab_features_1
Display screen size (HxV) 677 X 290 mm(HxV)
That converts to 11.4" That is a 0.2" discrepency from the DPI calculation, but it is a lot better than being nearly an inch off at 12.16". I have no idea where that is coming from, but it is wrong with regards to the active area of the screen.
Got the monitor on Friday.
This is correct, the visible part of the screen is only 11.4". I do love the monitor but it is feeling weird going down vertically from my 24".
This review confirms it (in text only) that its PWM free.Anyone care to test for PWM (backlight flicker)? I'm not interested in this monitor but want to know if Dell are determined to phase out PWM at least from their high-end monitors.

Review person measures with oscilloscope and have done plenty of monitors before, so I'm confident that this is a trustworthy result. Not accounting for hardware lottery, of course.
