A Closer Look
The Package
You would be forgiven for thinking you had purchased an oversized laptop as you bound up the stairs with a box measuring 32" x 16.5" x 9" and weighing in at just over 12kg lightweight compared to some.
The Packaging
A small incision with a sharp implement is not allways the best way to go when dealing with a long seal that could be fairly close to the frame or even the screen. There is a good 1" before you come into contact with the inner packaging so your safe.
The inner packaging is good quality, a multi layered corrugated cardboard "T Bar" construction covers the screen edge which in turn is covered in a generic foam slip cover. Was a little disappointed to find the stand was not completely covered as if someone had forgotten to tape it up but no damage a slight oversight I can forgive.

Usb Cable
Mini dsp to dsp
Mains Power Lead
Driver Cd
The Stand
Not unnatractive solid and allows the screen to sit a little further back when attached to it, very handy if your pushed for space or faceing a close quarters wall. Movement was smooth with no restriction in evidence, one small criticism would be to have the "cable tidy" hole either extended or raised to use the extra 2" of stand handy if you have a wealth of cables to manage.
The Panel
2 small catches secure the stand to the panel taking moments i noticed the vesa mount screws are Philips head hurrah! no more hunting for exotic shaped screwdriver heads.
Connections
Power - power for an optional sound bar - VGA - DisplayPort - Mini DisplayPort - DVI - HDMI - DisplayPort out - 3.5mm line out - USB 3.0 upstream - 2x USB 3.0 downstream.
The display port 1.2 allows you to connect upto 4 screens through one dsp connector (daisy chaining) almost 22gb/s in a full 4 lane chain !
Display port 1.2 must be activated through the osd as it comes with a default of dp 1.1.
The power button and four horizontal capacitive buttons ( with a right whiny sound which can be switched off ) are your osd in a bright white glow nice change from blue led of the U2711.
The display manager software allows multiple snap/screen configurations just try them all until you find something that suits your workload.
Overview
I could have switched it on and went into over-waffle but it works with zero defective pixels the settings are all down to your own personal taste so no need for me to go on.
Hope its helped someone that's thinking of buying one while they are on this week only @ £479.99!
Thanks to Overclockers for the excellent service on this one especially Mr 5UB who had to crack the whip with those warehouse slackers to make sure it was dispatched
For now its time for a little 16:10 Lego Lord of The Rings
