Dell Leaks 27" Display on Website

Earlier this year Dell was expected to release a 27″ enthusiast display even though no manufacturer had announced plans to build on 27″ LCD substrates. However, with Samsung’s announcement earlier this month, it looks as though Dell’s 27″ plans are finally a go. Yet late last week, the product page for the Dell 2007WFP was updated with a “new” image of the product. Much to the confusion of enthusiasts everywhere, this was not the image for the 20″ Dell display announced last year, but the image of a 27″ display that has not been announced yet.

I was really hoping for Dell to accidentally leak one of these babies to my desk, but it didn’t happen. I am not sure who should be getting excited over a 27″ when the 30″ is just a minor step above. The 27″ -would- have great appeal if it could handle the 2560*1600 resolution of it’s bigger brother, but instead it uses the same resolution as the smaller 24″.
