While most people probably think they are happy with their computing experience today, one aspect that many underestimate is that of the monitor. It’s one of those things where once you experience the other side, it’s hard to go back.

For those of us with more desk space and a proper computer, multiple monitors are a productivity godsend. To keep the logistical side a little simpler, a single, larger high-resolution display is a great way to improve productivity and effectively breathe new life into your computing experience.

Dell’s UltraSharp U2713HM is one of the best displays you’ll find on the market for under $1000. While that number may sound like a lot for just one part of your computer, do try to keep in mind that it is the part you use the most, that displays outlast most computers, and they can be used with multiple computers at a time.

The U2713HM measures in at 27-inches and sports WQHD resolution; that’s a 2560×1440 pixels for those keeping count. It’s a fair sight higher than the more common 1920×1080 panels.

While the extra pixels and screen real estate are key for computing productivity, the U2713HM also uses an in-plane switching (IPS) LCD panel. Without getting too much into the nitty gritty, such LCD panels offer great viewing angles and deeper, richer colors than nearly all other types. That’s why Apple uses them in all of their premium displays.

It will hook up to nearly any device you’ve got via the DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA inputs; it even has a USB 3.0 hub built-in. Being a premium product, Dell backs it with a 3 year advance exchange warranty and their Premium Panel guarantee. These mean that Dell ships you a replacement monitor in the event you need warranty service and they will replace the LCD if you ever get any bright pixels.
