IPS panel monitor for editing, any size advice please....

It's personal of course but I'd always have two 1920x1200 screens over a single 2560x1440 or 2560x1600 one and the price is similar.

Not sure what difference the 10 bit thing makes either if I'm honest.

oh i will have another monitor and not all IPS panels are 2560x1440 etc some are 1980x1080

i totally agree two are better for work flow, pallets on one monitor and full screen image on the other.

I'm also in the market for a 27" and the Dell in on my list. Just trying to decide between the wide gamut and the standard models.. since the wide gamut appears to be cheaper as well...

The wide gamut is the one with a CCFL tube isn't it, rather than LED backlight?

If so choose the standard one, firstly you're probably not going to want wide gamut and bigger monitors with CCFL backlights let off a massive amount of heat. The LED backlit ones run almost cold.

EDIT: I'd also steer clear of 1080p monitors, get a 1920x1200 monitor if you want something smaller as that extra 120 pixels makes a massive difference.
 
Aren't the LED backlit ones supposed to be not as good for colour critical work such as photography. I think Dell are calling the wider gamut ones 'Premiere Colour' now.

I've got the 27' inch U2711 which I've owned nearly two years now.
It's great, but yes, it does give off a lot of heat. Its actually quite annoying in a small room at home during summer, especially running another monitor and a tower, quickly gets pretty warm.

Only other downside I have to it is that it sometimes gets lines appearing on the left side of the panel, which you have shake the side of the monitor to get it to stop. I read that this is likely due to poor soldering. I need to send it back to OCUK to be looked at when I've got a break in what I'm working on.
 
The LED backlit ones are usually around 99.7% of the sRGB gamut whereas the CCFL ones are about 120%ish. If you're using sRGB (which most photographers will be) then you don't really need the "wide" gamut as it's not really going to give you any benefit.

Those 29" 21:9 screens would be great, if only they weren't 1080p... :( Make them 1200 or even 1440 and they would be great. A 3360x1440 monitor would be awesome! I'm assuming they don't do them because they would have issues with connection bandwidth. Unfortunately now they are just chopped versions of the 27" screens (lose 260 pixels vertically), which are in turn chopped versions of 30" monitors (lose 520 pixels vertically, so around a third of the screenspace...!)
