Just only you have to make sure that the SLI thing supports Dual-link DVI output to the monitor tooswaaye said:I see this monitor as a reason for SLI to exist. The ultra high end has been defined.
. AFAIK, it is not about NV6xxx and 7xxx series except only you own NV Quadro pro series card. Yes, agree with that for some level, but sometime dual monitor is also headache too as most windows are always try to open on primary monitor and the task bar is also on only my primary monitor too
.Kinda amusing watching people throw hissy fits over the lack of input options for this beast. Do they actually think component and S-video can drive 2560x1600?
Here's a teaser page at Dell for it: http://www1.us.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/brand/3007wfp?c=u
Just showed it to the wife. Not a good reaction. "Wow, what a great belated Christmas present this would make, huh?" "Keep dreaming." "You are the speed block on my road to happiness, you do realize that." "Whatever."

Wait, so what's the DPI of a 19" 1280x1024 monitor? I believe standard DPI is 100, above average is 130, and all monitors are still well below the dpi of a printer. (some 21" crts can do 2056x1536 or some res like that, what would that DPI be? though a 21" CRT has more like 20" screen size, and image quality will probably suffer at that res over VGA)

I'd bet closer to $2k.
Just update on Dell 3007WFP to drop on 5 Jan 06
It was posted again at Engadget that Dell 3007WFP will drop on 5 Jan 2006. The user manual is also surfaced at Dell website here and its spec sounds better than Apple 30"-cinema by being the same resolution (2560 x 1600), but 700:1 contrast ratio over 400:1, 11ms over 16ms, and 400cd/m2 brightness over 270.
BTW... Merry Xmas

Gotta wonder how its scalar will handle non-native resolutions, though. For those with SLI, you might be able to drive a few games at that res but I'm not sure which games will support such a high resolution. Probably damn few. So that means running a helluva lot of stuff at much lower resolutions, so. . . .
Like I said before, running at 1280x800 will be the sweet-spot for games, considering that it's a fairly standard resolution today (lots of laptops) and that it'll just scale instead of filtering. For movies and HD feeds it'll probably suck because upscaling will always be crappier than downscaling unless their algorithms target movies instead of crispness (I doubt that, it's a computer display after all).John Reynolds said:

. AFAIK, only SLi that support is only available on Quadro class VID , and you can see on the manual at Dell that the monitor have only one DVI-D (digital only) connector and no more D-sub connector for analog scaling .http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/monitor_3007wfp?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd
Whee!!!! $2,199. Better wait for that 35% off coupon (which would put it under $,500)! Tho somehow I suspect it will be awhile before this gets that kind of discounting. . .maybe next fy end.

You may want to read the review on anandtech where they contrasted Dell vs. Apple screens, albeit a different model.
Exactly the same screen, but with different enclosures, and oddly enough very different spec sheets with the Dell one specifying much more impressive numbers for the same product....
Moral: Never trust spec sheets for consumer products.
