I can't make up my mind between the:

2709 NEW ULTRSHARP 27" monitor for $650 Total w/ taxes brand NEW


-OR-

Dell ULTRSHARP 3007 WFP 30" Monitor Refurbished for $799 before taxes.

I know with the 30" I get higher resolution and 3 more inches. But with 3000:1 contrast ratio and also being an 09 model wouldn't I be bettor off with the 2709??? Or should I get the 30" Refurbished monitor with 1000:1 contrast ratio??

Are the LCD's any different? Picture quality??

Arent they both FULL HD?

Help please.

3007. Better display technology (S-IPS), and higher resolution. Both are full HD or better, but the 3007 will still be sharper for normal use.

If you are gaming you will need two powerful video cards to play games on a 30" @ native resolution.

A single 4870 1GB or GTX 280 doesn't do too bad on most games at 2560x1600, especially if you don't insist on AA.

I would personally go for the 30"
Higher resolution and I presume (being a monitor..) will run at full HD or higher, sir.

2560 x 1600 is the 30" native res. but viewing text will be a bit eye popping so I recommend 1920x1200... which is still substantially higher than the full HD 1080 you were wanting.

Conclusion...
27" has a higher contrast and 30" has a higher resolution, but I have a 19" monitor and even for me I sometimes hurt my eyes with it's native. So sir it's up to you. But I personally recommend that you buy 37" even if it is for gaming... your graphics will probably be smoother at a lower res.

Hope you make the right choice ;) Sorry if I was useless lol... :P
