Our Verdict
The Macworld Lab take a look at three new 27 - inch displays , and though they share a few vulgar features , they also have some very hearty difference . The Dell UltraSharp U2713HM , the Dell S2740L , and the Samsung SyncMaster T27B750ND are all 27 - inch display that use LED backlights , but that ’s where the similarities end . The one that you should look at will depend on your tastes , needs , and the amount of money you are unforced to spend .
Check out the full review for more specifics , but screw that all 27 - column inch displays are not created adequate . Nor should they be .
Chock-full of features
If you ’re looking for bells and whistles , the most feature - pack exhibit I ’ve seen in a while is the Samsung SyncMaster T27B750ND . It offer an integrated telly tuner , Wi - Fi connectivity that allows you to browse the Internet , Netflix and Hulu streaming , and entree to Facebook . But while these features work , the display sofware interface can be clunky , and you might feel it more commodious to keep a tab , notebook computer , or smartphone on the lounge for net access . The T27B750ND also supports wireless mirroring of your desktop from some Intel WiDi - enabled PC and multiple input connector .

Attractive price
If a low cost is your top antecedence , the least expensive 27 - in show of the three we take care at was the Dell S2740L. This LED backlit display with in - plane switching ( IPS ) is priced at $ 400 . ( The aforesaid Samsung video display is $ 550 ; the other Dell presentation we reviewed is $ 799 . Apple ’s Thunderbolt Display is $ 999 , and freshen up AppleLED Cinema Displaysare uncommitted for $ 829 . ) Dig deeper , though , and the reason for its attractive terms becomes patent — its native resolution is considerably lower than that of other 27 - inch display .

An interesting Apple alternative
The Dell UltraSharp U2713HM has a native 2560 by 1440 resolution , which we ’re wonted to attend in a 27 - inch screen . It also have a high - lineament IPS control panel which allows for adept viewing angles and snitch extremely in all of our on - blind test . It ’s an interesting alternative to Apple ’s 27 - inch Thunderbolt Display for user who prefer matte screen , superlative adjustable standpoint , and do n’t need Apple ’s later peripheral connection .
