It's natural competitor is Hewlett-Packard's ZR30w (reviewed here), a similar 30-inch panel with fewer overall features.
However, the U3011 is a bit bigger with a slightly higher screen resolution (2560x1600 and 16:10 versus 2560x1440 and 16:9) and has an extra HDMI port. Both use the same panel technology and offer mostly the same features. You can think of the U3011 as an enlarged version of the U2711. It sports a high-quality In-Plane Switching ( IPS) panel, is extremely versatile with a plethora of connectivity options, and even boasts a built-in 7-in-1 media card reader, not to mention excellent On-Screen Display (OSD) controls, something that's a bit of a luxury in the 30-inch display class. Part of the reason for that is because the 30-inch display segment is largely ignored by too many of the major vendors, but even if that wasn't the case, the U3011 would likely still stand out. Simply put, the U3011 is the most feature rich and flexible 30-inch panel there is right now on the market. The question, then, is what does Dell's UltraSharp U3011 bring to the big-screen table? Quite a bit, actually. Of course, if you're reading this, then you've probably already decided that a 30-inch monitor would look swell in your home office or game room.

But if you're more of a casual gamer or are willing to tone down the graphics settings, just about any discrete-level GPU out there will drive a 30-inch display, removing one of the barriers that in years past prevented some PC users from shopping larger screen panels. Sure, if you plan to play bleeding edge games with all the eye candy maxed out on a 2560x1600 resolution, you better be rocking something more potent than integrated graphics. It also no longer takes a herculean system to drive a 30-inch panel. That in itself is pretty remarkable when you consider that 30-inch monitors aren't just big, they also represent the pinnacle of display technology in terms of picture quality and, in this case, features. For one, 30-inch monitors are somewhat more affordable compared to a few years ago, at least in the sense that the average Joe doesn't have to sell a kidney to come up with the scratch for one (except for teens, who are more interested in trading body organs for iPads, anyway). The latter far outnumber the former, but thanks to a number of factors, this particular digital divide is growing smaller by the day. There are two types of power users on this planet, and they consist of those who use a 30-inch monitor, and those who don't.
