"Overall there are some distinct differences between the two models as there had been between the two 24" models. The U2713HM brings about some positive changes we felt, certainly from a performance point of view. The default setup was more reliable and users will be pleased by the good gamma, white point and colour setup out of the box. The sRGB emulation mode works very well and is well calibrated in the factory. We had seen less impressive results from the U2711 model really and you'd probably need to calibrate it personally with a calibrator to get more out of it. The improvement to the static contrast ratio and pixel responsiveness were also very pleasing and a positive improvement from the new model. In addition the screen coating change to a light AG solution is very positive and welcome, and the inclusion of USB 3.0 ports and a rotation function from the stand are nice extras. It's a shame they did away with the card reader I felt, but we can live without the composite and component inputs which aren't really used much nowadays anyway.
The U2711 still has its place though as if you need/want wide gamut or 10-bit support then it can be offered on that model, but not on the U2713HM. Likewise if you need any of the additional interfaces then they are available there. I did feel though that the wide gamut support was really the only major advantage the U2711 had over the newer model (again only if you actually need or want it), and the new U2713HM showed plenty of performance improvements to make it an excellent new addition to the UltraSharp range."
