No. My information is from LG, not Dell.
LG has been touting the benefits of these panels (over their earlier panels and the competition) to oems or some time now.
The U2415 is a much nicer panel than the U2414H. There's really no comparison.
If you want 16:9, get the U2715H on sale. The U2715H has the 27" 16x9 version of the panel (and electronics) in the U2415. It's much nicer than the BenQ 2710PT.
I just ordered one of these. Using the 20% + 10% off coupons linked on Bensbargains.net, the cost was $490.99. Delivery is scheduled for 11/12/2014.
I had to ask Dell to apply the 20% off code via chat since the U2715H is still considered a pre-order item in their system, and the coupon...
Keep in mind that we may not see the fixed A03 at or near $899 for a long time. Dell almost certainly offered the U3014 at this price to clear out inventory of the A02, all of which exhibit this issue to some degree.
With time, yields will increase and prices will fall. Also, Dell places orders that are an order of magnitude larger than Asus's orders. I think $1999-2199 MSRP is entirely realistic for a device that ships in late November.
No. All the 30 inchers have the same heavy anti-glare coating (except for the U3014).
We won't see other 30 inchers with a light anti-glare coating until Dell's exclusive on the LG 6th generation 30" panel expires.
Just about every 30" display available today uses LG's 5th generation LM300WQ5 panel. All have the same strong anti-glare coating. The Dell U3011 is probably as good as any other LM300WQ5 panel.
The Dell U3014 is the first 30" display with LG's 6th generation LM300WQ6 panel, which features a...
Yes, by poor, I meant a heavy AG coating. The AG coating is just like that on the Dell U2410 and U2711 monitors, if you are familiar with those.
At this time, there is only one 30" consumer monitor on the market with a semi-glossy screen (light AG coating), and that is the Dell U3014...
From what I recall, the Nixeus Vue 30" uses a lower-graded version of the LG LM300WQ5-SDA1 panel found in the Dell U3011. That panel has a matte screen and a rather poor anti-glare coating.
Eventually, we should see 30" displays based on the semi-glossy LM300WQ6-SLA1 panel found in the Dell...
