Performance
The performance of the monitor was tested on a number of factors, such as video quality, colour reproduction and image quality. To start off with the performance of the monitor, we calibrated it using the Spyder3 Elite Colorimeter. From this, we found out that the contrast ratio is 527:1 and the deviation from the brightest point was at the top left corner at 11.8 percent at 100 percent brightness.

Video Performance
It can be said that full HD video playback of this monitor is probably the best there is in its price range and lower. The colours appeared accurate, but tones of red, such as pink and orange appeared vibrant. Skin tones rendered well and the detail in dark scenes looked really good. We have not seen any monitor in the recent past that offer as good performance as this model, especially when it comes to video playback.

Still Image Quality
While reviewing our high quality sample image, we observed that there was a lot of detail and colours appeared accurate. Skin tones rendered flawlessly and overall this monitor did really well.

Verdict
The Dell UltraSharp U2711 is available in India at a price of Rs. 44,000. The monitor does exceedingly well in terms of design, features and performance and it does not have any real cons going for it. The only real issue we have is with its price, for it is rather steep. There are a range of 27-inch monitors available in the market and they cost half of what the U2711 does, but they fall short in terms of performance. With this monitor, Dell is offering a premium product at a premium price.

This monitor is ideal for those who are into graphic designing, photography or those who make games and need all images in the best quality possible. This is not an average run of the mill monitor and its price suggests the same. Alternatively, if one is in the market looking out for a really expensive monitor and has almost half a lakh to spend, then this will be a monitor that they definitely won’t be disappointed with.

How We Test

The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There’s a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.

Verdict
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.


Features
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they’re buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.

Performance
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.

Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn’t fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.

Value
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category. 

There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.

What do the ratings mean?

Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
