Dell has the Dell UltraSharp U2711 27" IPS Panel LCD Monitor for $649 with free shipping. Alternatively, Costco has the Dell Ultrasharp U2713HM 27" 2560x1440p IPS LED Monitor for $650 + 5% non-member surcharge = $683 shipped. Thanks, opinionator!
I bought the Shimian #1 mentions about a year ago. Came from Korea by DHL in a week. It's been working perfectly and not a single dead pixel. The cheapest models are stripped: single input, no USB hub, no on-screen menu; for a little more you can get that, LED backlighting, built-in speakers, etc... I would definitely buy from them again.
Yes, the two times we saw the U2713HM on sale at that price, it only lasted for about an hour. They might have been price mistakes. Otherwise, it's almost always (and currently) $700+. The U2711 is arguably a better monitor, depending on your usage.
Actually the Best Buy deal wasn't a price mistake. After tax and environmental fees for CA, it was $616.99 and I've already got the tracking number from UPS. Great deal!!
Get the same thing direct from Korea at half the price. Ebay, search "shimian". Have 3, perfect and same as my Dell.
New model is U2713, same price

#2, $650 for the Dell U2713HM would be a great price. Let us know where you saw it.
Actually it was posted yesterday. $560+tax with free shipping from Best Buy.

I believe 2711 is superior colorwise, only has some tint issue with color calibration and USB 2 ports, 2713 has USB 3 ports
Thanks, even with the 5% non-member surcharge, that's pretty good. It almost pays for the annual membership fee.
