| Fascinating debate on the glossy vs. matte issue. I wasn't ready to take the chance and make the change... The DELL U2713HM arrived today. I've only spent 1/2 a day with it. Pretty nice monitor for a price of $600 shipped to my door. Thanks for the advice and the tip on this weekend's deal! Probably shoulda got a pair of 'em. That second DVI-D port is just mocking me now. -Lachlan PS: If anyone has any brightness concerns, I've had to turn this thing DOWN to about 20-percent.
