The Dell U2715H has good color presets, fast pixel response times, minimal overshoot and a low delay like the Asus PB278QR and LG 27MB85R-B.  The U2715H is overpriced uses LG's frame-less casing which is not actually frame-less.  Frame-less monitors have inner black bezels which ruin the perceived black depth and make dark content look a bit washed out, just like glossy black and matte black bezels do.  Example: notice how light the black letter box bars look compared to the monitors inner black bezel.

The Dell U2717D has worse color presets than the U2715H and many competitors, has decent contrast (900:1), fast pixel response times, but suffers from overshoot ghosting and a 20ms delay.  The U2717D is essentially an overpriced version of the Qnix QHD2730R with a height adjustable stand and better warranty, but worse color presets, overshoot ghosting and no overclocking. 

The U2717D is uses LG's fake frame-less casing which is not actually frame-less.  Frame-less monitors have inner black bezels which decrease the perceived black depth and make dark content look a bit washed out, just like glossy black and matte black bezels do.  Example: notice how light the black letter box bars look compared to the monitors inner black bezel.

The U2717D reviewed by Les Numeriques has lower input lag and better color presets which indicates to me that Les Numeriques reviewed a newer revision.

The Dell UP2716D is the first decent wide gamut monitor Dell has released.  The UP2716D has low input lag and minimal overshoot ghosting unlike its predecessor the U2713H which suffered from excessive overshoot ghosting.  As expected the sRGB mode has locked color controls and is inferior to that of a normal monitor.  The UP2716D is a good choice for those who need a wide gamut monitor, intend to calibrate it, and use it with programs which support color management.  The UP2716D is a waste of money for gaming and regular use (text, email, movies, coding, ect).
