That being said, I do enjoy the greater viewing angle, and even though 95% of the time I do sit head on it still makes a difference if anyone else is watching a movie with me on it.
No offense taken.
I have no idea what digital vibrance is, as none of my previous monitors had said feature. That being said, I'd still prefer to have an IPS panel (a 10bit one at that).

With a Wide Gamut monitor, over-saturation occurs in applications that are not colour-managed (games etc.). The U2410's SRGB mode would have been a way to prevent that over-saturation, although, like most of the SRGB modes provided on Wide Gamut monitors, it's an imperfect solution (IIRC caused some dithering). The best solution is to just get a standard gamut display in the first place - unless, of course, you intend to use colour managed programs like PS.

Digital Vibrance is NVIDIA's name for their Saturation slider in the NVIDIA CP. I mentioned it because, if you wanted to roughly simulate the oversaturated look of a Wide Gamut monitor in non-coulour-manged apps, you can turn DV up ~10% for that look. Conversely, people who have Wide Gamut monitors that don't have working SRGB modes have used the DV slider to reduce the over-saturation effect. ATI provides a similar setting, but I forget what they call it.

I had no idea, thanks for the info.

The more I look at these higher res monitors the more I see that most of them have a really aggressive AG coating. I prefer a glossy display on my desktop. It looks like some of my only choices are the Korean models and/or the new Nixeus....as it comes to glossy higher rez.

Decisions, decisions....How are people liking their Yamakasi catleaps? Are all of these glossy? Do any of them come factory Overclocked for higher than 60Hz refresh? Also, is it worth it to pay extra for the no dead pixel (it's an extra 80 bucks)?

This is a good point and it does make sense to go for a sRGB monitor as that will give you better 'colour accuracy' in most normal applications. I must however disagree with your comment

Some of them even think that the over-saturation is the "wonderful IPS colours" in action, and probably would've been scarcely able to distinguish between their new monitor and their old TN monitor with 'Digital Vibrance' ramped up.

TN panels still fall a long way short from full sRGB and turning on "Digital Vibrance" will only oversaturate and ruin the image quality. I think most people with even a mild interest in image quality will see the difference between oversaturated blown out colors and the real Vibrance of a IPS monitor.

Not really disagreeing with you that much just think you are perhaps giving to little credit to the general consumer.

With only one 7970, I would get the Korean Monitor, 2560x1440 is awsome.

I was by no means insinuating that using DV on a TN panel is somehow an acceptable alternative to a higher quality (IPS) panel. Absolutely not.

If they can't tell when their wide gamut IPS monitor is causing over-saturated "blown out" colours, then I have to wonder...

Too little credit? What credit does the general consumer deserve? The general consumer's lack of discernment is why we're still stuck with this LCD technology, which can barely hold a candle to the IQ we had in ~2002 with CRT. The general consumer is controlled more by trends and marketing than what they see with their own eyes.

There was the U2711 for sale from Dell themselves for $700 a few days ago I saw, I'll update if I can find it

Edit: Deal was over but Amazon always has it available for $777

Personally I'd stick with a single 27 inch monitor and if you ever wanted to do surround get two cheap korean monitors or smaller matching monitors to turn vertical and make the peripheral vision less of a "stretch"

Best things about U2711 are pixel pitch and build quality. Worst thing is IPS glow/dark scene viewing angles.
