The Bottom Line The HP ZR30w lacks too many features to be competitive with other, lower-priced 30-inchers. The Dell UltraSharp U2713HM is an excellent monitor that will satisfy both the performance snob and the features diva alike. The Dell UltraSharp U3011 is an impressive monitor and the most feature-rich 30-incher out there. The HP ZR2740w sacrifices customization to deliver a powerful monitor at a reasonable price. The HP DreamColor LP2480zx is a performance monster that costs too much for the features it offers.
