So my Dell 3007WFP 30" 2560x1600 is giving me some grief lately... it's ghosting images when closing windows and I've noticed in gaming the movement is blurred sometimes, starting to mess with my eyes.

So I don't have the cash for another 30" Dell since they are around $1100....

I am considering the following 2 monitors, because of the price and because they are on Amazon Prime. I'd rather spend $3.99 to ship it overnight then go somewhere else and spend $35 for shipping.

^Doesn't seem bad... isn't IPS but has good reviews, and a low refresh rate of 1ms (so it claims) or this one

http://www.amazon.com/Dell-927M9-IPS-LED-27-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B009H0XQPA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1SFQUSPUA54N0&coliid=I257RH8Z54GW3T

is IPS, but goes up to 7ms refresh rate.

I know I am losing a ton of space by going from 16:10 2560x1600 to 16:9 1920x1080, but which one seems better of the two and on top of that, do you have a third monitor to recommend that would be on Amazon Prime?

Go with the ips, don't believe the 1ms claim.

Was thinking that but now I also realize the Dell IPS is all glass on the front, so it'll likely have a glare on it 24/7...

Both of them are a downgrade and a half!

Yeah, well loan me the other $650 and I'll get the U3011 :)

Dumb question, but for your existing Dell, have you replaced the DVI/DP cable?

No but I suppose I could try that, I'll just swap the cables between my other monitor and this one. isn't DVI digital though, wouldn't it either work or not work?

Gee thanks, I'm sure retail on that will be about $15K

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
