Dell Selling 30" Flat Panels

bling..bling writes "Apple is not the only company selling 30" flat panel monitors. Dell is now offering a 30" flat panel display that has a native resolution of 2560x1600 and sells for $2,199. Just like the apple 30" display you do need a dual link DVI video card to drive this massive beast. This monitor also sports four USB ports and a media card reader. I've been waiting for Dell or someone else to release a 30" display and hopefully bring the prices down. I'm tired of the dual monitor thing, I want one display device on my desk, just make it a very large device. See the details on Dell's web site on the new Dell 3007WFP 30-inch widescreen digital flat panel monitor."

Um, this is the first slashdot has heard of these? A few days behind everyone else it seems.

That'd only cost you about $1600

Oh, is that all?

seriously, who cares that Dell is selling a 30"? Is this really front page news? I mean it's not like the technology isn't new, and HP and Apple have been selling awesome 30" flat panels for years.

I know you created the site (CmdrTaco), so all much respect goes out to you and this rather large accomplishment, but lately you've been posting lots of dupes and fluff like this... what's going on?

I think one got one for around $850 or so.

And twice $800 is. . .?

Also the firewire, USB, power and Dual-DVI all come to the monitor via a single cabel, this makes thing a lot cleaner on your desktop or when mounting on a wall.

Who the fuck mounts a computer monitor on a wall?
