It's a Dell, a 30-inch (76.2 cm), it is called 3008WFP. It is the logical successor to the current 3007WFP. And it seems very well born. Its design is innovative, in line with that of the 2707WFP. It includes for example the foot articulated arm system so comfortable that allows rotation, tilt and height adjustment.

10/10 connector

But more than by its design is its connection ultracomplete that this screen is different. In addition to DisplayPort brand new, there are VGA ports, DVI-D (x2, and HDCP), HDMI, component, audio (stereo + subwoofer), S-Video and composite video.

This figure is also more common for LED screens, but it seems that Dell has remained faithful to fluorescent tubes, new models for wide gamut (WCCFL).
