Where are all the new 30inch 2560x1600 monitors?

[jn77]

2 years ago, I replaced 3 19 inch CRT's with 3 24inch LCD monitors and I have been looking to make the jump to 3 30inch LCD's

Apple has not updated their 30inch product line in a long time, and the same with Dell and Samsung.

I was looking at the Dell 3007 WFP when it came out and I did not like the specs. Then the 3008WFP came out a year later (big improvement). Today there should be a 3011 WFP with OLED back lighting, Multi Touch and LED or OLED back lighting.

Googling a replacement for the 3008WFP returns someone asking on Dells forums where the non existant monitor is and Dell is not saying anything.

Maybe it is time to go to 3 1080P projectors?

Side note, funny this is the Graphics and Display's Category and there is no sub cat for monitors or displays... anyway, I hope this is in the right section.

Thanks Pjuice,

looks like allot of people have been looking at this thread but no posts until you

maybe the the 3008WPF over saturated the market, it has all the connections we are looking for, but it is not LED/OLED back lit and multi touch would be a nice addition.

We can only hope.

Basically its all about money and the recession. Realistically how many people can afford to get a new 30” monitor nowadays and if the recession didn’t hit I bet we would see new 30” monitors popping up.

Most people buy the 1920 x 1080 monitors because they are cheaper and there is a huge market for them. My cousin was telling me his Asus 1080p monitor was full hd and didnt believe thst my 26" 1920 x 1200 Vk266h monitor had a higher resolution because he had no idea about higher resolutions. I think it's a mix of lack of knowledge and not a big market for monitors that big. Alot of 1080p monitors are coming out because its the new price/performance monitor.

there are about a couple dozen 30 inch LCD monitors out there, some newer are better than old ones.
and there is a good chart to compare them all at http://30inchlcds.com
