30 Monitors

[azhangvroom]

What are some good 30" monitors available for general lab usage. It needs to be purchasable from a reputable dealer (e.g., amazon and newegg OK, ebay is not) and in stock. Looking for sub 1.5k USD price range.

This is a pretty solid one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...irtualParent=1 currently "SOLD OUT" but will definitely be restocked later.
From Amazon if you are in a hurry

If you're not in need of serious calibration controls, the monoprice models are cheaper versions of the Dell u3011. I had one of the Crystalpro models for about a week. It was actually a decently good monitor, I just couldn't deal with using wide-gamut. That plus there is no way to turn down the backlight, which was really only an issue because I often have the lights off. The uniformity wasn't perfect either, but I could live with it, and I'm pretty picky about that kind of stuff. One model has hdmi/dvi/DP/component, and runs about 800, and the other is DVI only and is 700.

edit:^^ that U3014 for 1100 is actually a pretty good deal.

If it's a decent number talk to Dell directly. They're good on discounts. The U3014 is solid.

I like the idea of this, if we're purchasing 12, how much discount can we expect?

Ask. Will depend on your circumstances.
