If so, have you calibrated it on your own using either the Spider or the Eye1?

I do. I calibrate with an old Spyder 2 Express. Seems ok.

Colorvision has always worked well for me on Dell monitors. Always dead accurate.

I have a 3007 WFP-HC, superb color rendition. Calibrates great with there Eye1 Display 2, and the Eye One Pro.

I have a 3008 WFP-HC and use a Spyder Pro 2. Very minor tweaking was needed to get it perfect.

U3011 x 2 calibrated on Spyder 3 Elite. Phenomenal color rendition. Friend has a 27" EIZO and Id say it is very very hard to tell the difference between the two in terms of gamut and accuracy, but mine is 30" vs 27 and is about 900 less.

I've been using the U3011 for about 2 years now. Love it! I just use the factory sRGB calibration. Each screen is calibrated individually at the factory and the monitor comes with the calibration report. I'm not picky enough to purchase another system to further calibrate it. I wrote a review up on my blog here: http://joshjonesphoto.blogspot.com/2010/11/dell-u3011-monitor-review-photo-editing.html

Thank you guys! I'm excited to receive the monitor, should be here soon. I have the Eye 1 Display 2 so I will use it to calibrate. I wasn't sure if it needed calibrating or if it used its own calibration from itself.

Thanks for the link Skip.

Nice! You'll like it I'm sure. I on the other hand will be using a Dell Monitor for the first time (unless you count my old office job). I've been using a 27" ViewSonic so far on my Dell XPS9100, which will finally have a Dell monitor
