Dammit they've got me measuring up my desk for duel screens now

I had the Dell, RMA'd it due to terrible backlight bleed. The 970D I have now is in a different class, probably the best thing I've ever bought for my PC, it gives me great pleasure now to use my rig, it's a fabulous screen. The 971 or 970 would be great, I have no light issues so the glass screen 970 IMO is better for me, and looks lovely.What makes this monitor better then a Dell UltraSharp U2713HM ??
Would there be any good reasons for me to upgrade from my U2713HM to one of these..
Could that even be classed as an upgrade
I just upgrade from the very same monitor to the 970D. Two words; do it.Damn wish I hadn't seen this thread, I've got to decide whether to upgrade my 4 y/o HP LP2475w now

Gibbo - Any chance the 970D could magically appear at the same price as the 971D.....please?!!
Would be a dealbreaker for me. At the current price, although it's good, it's a wallet breaker!
+1
I missed out on the earlier deals
the 970D would be an instant buy now at the same price!Any chance Gibbo? I have an order in my basket i'd love to add the 970D to it

About the UK cable? I mentioned that in the other thread which was done to death, I was responding to the question about the Display Port cable why would I bring that up?
By the way apparently some people found the UK cable at the bottom of the box under the polystyrene:

The power cable is indeed under the bottom packaging.
So now i have this thing how do i get the 1440 to work without going out shopping again?
I have the 7990 with the mini-display ports,a mini display port to dvi adaptor that came with the card and various hdmi dvi display port cables.Only thing i dont have is a mini display port to display port cable....Works fine at 1080 with the mini adaptor and dvi. but cant select any higher. Do i have to have the mini to normal displayport to get the 1440?
Says its connected via display port in the properties if that makes a differance

Phone OcUK, best check with them.
Well just lifted the bottom packaging out looking in again empty, turned the packaging bottom up, you guested it stuck to the underside.
Face Palm, lol to much in a hurry.
Dunno who the biggest fool in is in this, prolly me.Still made me chuckle anyway.
Rang ocuk said i had the mini dspto dvi adaptor,(which came with the 7990),with a dvi lead,connected to the monitor but cant get 1440. Few questions and answers and gives me samsungs number.
Much cable messing/pc swapping/climbing over the back of the desk etc goes on. (usual stuff when the pc isnt behaving). Basically seems i need to get a a mini dsp to dsp cable.Cool,not expensive...having been told dsp is the way to go im good with that.So i take off the adaptor plug the dvi into the card and tadaaa 1440
Takes a hairy **** plumber to sort out the tech support
Will buying that displayport cable make any difference whatsoever to the picture quality or is the dual dvi good enough?

I believe you need either Dual-link DVI or DisplayPort to run at 2560x1440p. Either will give the same picture quality. The only advantage with DisplayPort is that it is a bit more compact.
They should give you some sort of clue about the power cable being at the bottom.

Damn... just had to go on a conf call... had the monitor in my basket all ready to push the button once I had checked my bank account... call finished and the monitor had gone up £100.
Oh well.. its there for someone else now... I can't afford the extra, great monitor or not!
I'll find an alternative elsewhere ('cos most of them are cheaper elsewhere before you ask).. shame.

Hi there
I've had a look around, the best price I can find with stock is £622 delivered, I have therefor reduced our price to £599 inc. VAT plus shipping so should still work out cheaper even with shipping.
