Dell's 27-Inch WQHD Monitor Now Comes With Thin Bezel
Dell's new 27-inch WQHD monitor brings a modern design with updated I/O interfaces.
Quietly, Dell seems to have revealed a new iteration of its 27-inch WQHD monitor. The new UltraSharp U2715H has been listed on Dell's Hong Kong webpage, and it looks like the next logical step in the evolution of this display is that it has a thinner bezel, a sleeker stand and updated I/O.
The screen is built with a 27" AH-IPS panel, which has a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. It has viewing angles of 178 degrees horizontally and vertically, offers a static contrast ratio of 1000:1 and has a brightness of 350 cd/m². 
It is also an 8-bit panel, making it good for 16.78 million colors, and Dell has it factory-calibrated to cover 99 percent of the sRGB color space with a DeltaE < 3. Some older 27" WQHD UltraSharps had 10-bit panels for a much larger color range, although it wouldn't surprise us if a 10-bit variant were to pop up later on.
The U2715H's updated I/O interfaces include a four-port USB 3.0 hub, two HDMI inputs with MHL support, a single Mini-DisplayPort in, a single DisplayPort in, an MST DisplayPort out with support for daisy-chaining, and an audio line-out. The monitor also has support for the optional AC511 Dell Speaker Bar.
The stand on the monitor is capable of swiveling, pivoting both clockwise and counterclockwise (for an optimal multi-monitor setup thanks to the thin top bezel), and it offers 26 degrees of tilting range and a 115 mm height adjusting range.
Dell did not reveal U.S. pricing, although in Hong Kong Dollars the U2715H costs $6599, which translates to about $850 USD. Of course, we don't expect it to cost that much, as the U2713HM is listed for $799.99 on the U.S. Dell site but lands around $550 at retail. Dell did tell us that the U2715H would be available around the end of October.

I have the 24" 4k UP2414Q and it's plenty big enough for me. Making the bezel so thin they put all the ports on the back of the monitor rendering them useless, even on mine. I'm going to plug a USB 3.0 drive into the back of my monitor? Thinner isn't always better. I'd rather a thicker bezel and put the ports on the side or bottom.
Those are already available... do you mean you're waiting for them to drop in price?
I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but enthusiastic as I am about tech, I don't have $1200 to drop at once on a two monitor set.
IPS glow? What is that?
I've worked selling tech for a year and a half now and I've never seen anything irregular with an IPS panel vs. a TN.
The only monitor I've seen that is somewhat affordable and does not have the IPS Glow is Eizo's EV2736.. All the other IPS monitors are impossible to use when you like to play stealth games.
Even the UP2414Q that was mentioned above suffers from this glow.
I am a fan of thin bezels but I don't know exactly who those ultra-wide screens are marketed for - doesn't really work for business unless you're constantly using split screen, might make sense for consumers who are browsing the web all day while watching cat videos.
The 34" Dell 21:9 3440x1440 cinema display will be ultra-wide screen. They can show the newer wider screen movies that will arrive but probably not as well as a good TV. Two word documents side-by-side work reasonably well on a 1920x1080 monitor but many web pages do not size well for that. With the problems I see in Windows Media Center for shared (another computer) videos I'd prefer not to resize the view.

This is IPS glow. It looks like a form of backlight bleed, but it is not. It also effects very light colors too, but it is worst on dark images and any off angle.
Left S-PVA(VA based screens crush most others when it comes to contrast) and Right is IPS without the truewhite polarizer. Unfortunately this(ips) screen also has a VERY hard time with dark colors as it is.
