27" IPS LG 27EA83R-D for $499.99 @ Newegg

This seems to be at least a warm deal. It's $115 cheaper than the next lowest price I could find ($615 @ Amazon). Specs are very similar to the Dell U2713H.

Anyone have any experience with this monitor?

I have seen the 27EA83-D in person which is a different monitor. It was side by side next to the Asus PB278Q when I saw it. The 27EA83-D is a wide gamut monitor and unless you have software correctly uses this wider color space the colors will be off. It was quite noticeable to me seeing it side by side next to the ASUS PB278Q which is not a wide gamut monitor (everything look too green).

I am not sure if the monitor you linked to (27EA83R-D instead of D) is wide gamut. From what I read on the net it shouldn't be (the D is supposed to be the wide gamut), but the newegg link you gave is quoting 10 bit color.

Here is a previous thread about these two monitors.

I don't know why it's listed as 10-bit color. It's definitely an sRGB monitor, not Adobe RGB.

No full-res HDMI port, meh. ASUS PB278Q PLS is a better buy, regular price $550, on-sale around $500, has the full-1440p HDMI 1.4 port. Or the HP ZR2740W was $400 recently at micro center (no HDMI at all, but considerably less expensive).

HDMI doesn't support 2560x1440 anyhow.

Wrong, you need the right cable, the right video card, and the monitor/tv has to support it. (All three devices need to accept the 340 mhz clock rate instead of the 165 mhz clock rate.) Radeon calls this technology fast hdmi and introduced it with some video cards starting with the 7970. Intel you need to manually add the resolution, Nvidia to my understanding just works if you have a Kepler card.

Well, I guess I should of tested mine before speaking. Thats what I get for listening to the jackass at MC. I was using DP and had the sleep mode issue, so I just used DVI, sure enough the HDMI cable that came with the monitor does work. The monitor is HDMI 1.4, running at 2560x1440.
