Digital Trends

At CES, Dell has announced the introduction of its new UltraSharp(TM) 3008WFP 30-inch widescreen flat panel monitor with DisplayPort. With a TrueColor WQXGA display with 2560 x 1600 resolution, it’s massive, but with a price tag to match - $1,999.

 

According to Dell, the monitor will integrate DisplayPort technology, uses a new digital interface standard that includes a USB-sized connector, and doubles the scalable performance of DVI with a unique architecture that enables new features.

 

"We're offering customers the best high-definition viewing experience with the most advanced connectivity available," said Steve Gluskoter, director of Dell's displays marketing. "We're excited to bring DisplayPort to customers and to the industry. The 3008WFP with DisplayPort technology will take the digital viewing experience to a whole new level."

The monitor boasts  WQXGA 2560 x 1600 resolution, an advanced video processor for multi-resolution viewing, TrueColor Technology with 100 percent color gamut, an 8ms response time, high 3000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, extensive connectivity with DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI-D with HDCP, VGA, S-Video, Component and Composite connectors, a 9-in-2 media card reader that enables easy access to download photos or files and four high-speed USB 2.0 ports that expand usability.
