Good monitor for a MacBook Pro Retina

Dell U3011 76.2 cm (30 inch) widescreen TFT monitor (VGA, DVI, HDMI, S-Video, 7 ms response time) black (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

The Dell U3011 is already a power, if it is on the desk. Actually, I'm thrilled with the UltraSharp series for years. The U2410 are already of very high quality. The U3011 comes as not quite ran I am sorry to say. First, it will require much more time to get its "operating" and he affected in total but a little bit blurred. Primarily in thin black font on a white background. Otherwise, makes for some adjustment of the focus on the menu actually not (disturbing) noticeable.

Not I can share hum or buzz the opinion of other customers, the monitor would. If he does not at all. The operation or the selection of inputs I find not very complicated. The part has seven different inputs because you have to stop before pressing a few buttons .... But even there you can set up a shortcut, if you take a bit concerned with the manual.

Now to the essence of all MacBookPro users: You can operate the device with the full resolution of 2560x1600 pixels on MBP. But one does not need the expensive Apple Dual-Link DVI Adapter but simply takes the already mentioned several times combination of "LogiLink Mini DisplayPort Female to Male DisplayPort Converter" and "Belkin Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable". Or stop directly a good Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable (but probably are extremely rare at the moment). Total cost No 20. Does any problem and especially right away! The resolution means you do not get HDMI out, unfortunately, there is at 1920x1200 conclusion. Apparently the limited monitor this (is for sure in the manual that HDMI is no longer possible and my practical test also confirmed this).

And now the surprise bad back for me: The monitor separates the transported over HDMI or DisplayPort audio to 3 jacks, so I was able to run my old Creative 5.1 Surround Sound System with no initial purchase of any decoder also on Mac. Even if I had really not expected. For me, this means a very strong buy recommendation and 5 star. Important: Be sure to take a look at the manual to throw, so you really use and adjusts what the monitor is capable of. It can be downloaded and read on DELL well before buying.

After manual adjustment button on the OSD I can not complain about any color cast or like me, you can calibrate the Dell wonderful. Taste a bit of time, but it's worth it. So far I did not have a monitor, I could calibrate such detail with available materials.

In my opinion, it is a 5 star fully deserved!
