Quick reviews:
*Dell's latest 27-inch monitor introduces an updated menu system, several new inputs and wide colour gamut. While it won't impress professionals, it's likely to please the average user who wants a big screen.
*It's an excellent and very attractive product. Unfortunately, colors were not too accurate, such an input lag persists despite the same difficulties with the 2408WFP and the price is a bit exaggerated.
*New menu system is leagues ahead of the 07 and 08 series, Great blacks, Mass of video inputs, Audio out for HDMI.
*While hardcore PC gamers might want to stay clear, and colour professionals may have to wrestle a little with calibration to get the most out of it, the 2709W is likely to please your average user to no end who wants a big screen with a decent resolution.

In brief:

Pros

* 1080p capable resolution (1920 x 1200px)
* huge variety of inputs
* large screen size
* higher dot pitch than most monitors (same resolution as 24" monitors) - allows users to sit back further when watching media, or better for those with poorer vision
* tilt, swivel and height adjustments
* quality assured, 3-year warranty
* quality S-PVA panel - accurate colours, good viewing angles

Cons

* expensive (price starts from $789-you can find it for less in ebay)
* higher dot pitch than most monitors (same resolution as 24" monitors) - larger pixels are noticeable when sitting close, may make image appear fuzzy
* back light bleed/consistency issues
* high input lag (60 ms / ~ 3 fps), poorer choice for hardcore gamers
