Dell Launches New UltraSharp 3008WFP 30-Inch LCD
MojoKid writes "Dell has taken the wraps off their new 30" LCD monitor today and launched the UltraSharp 3008WFP. You'll note that there are more than a few upgrades provided with this newer 3008 version. Specifically, the panel now has a 117% color gamut, in addition to having a 3000:1 contrast ratio, versus
the 1000:1 performance of its predecessor, the 3007WFP. The panel also comes with the same pixel response time of 8ms but now has enhanced brightness capability at 370 nits. Also, Dell finally saw fit to add significantly more connectivity options to the panel, with not only two DVI-D inputs, but also HDMI, Composite, Component, S-Video and the new DisplayPort interface. In short, anything you could want to hook up now or in the future, can be hooked up to this new Dell 30" panel."
I think at that point, where you are investing in a 30" LCD monitor for your PC, you might as well just buy an LCD HDTV. Most of them have all the ports this monitor has including VGA, DVI, and HDMI. Plus the bonus of a built in HD tuner. Many of them also look quite a deal slicker, and are easily wall mountable. I use my 32" Westinghouse LCD HDTV as a second monitor all the time, and it works a treat.
