Monoprice sells them with Displayport inputs. I've heard they were decent (according to programmer and gamer friends). The main complaint I've read had to do with the cheap stand they come with.

So if I pick up this it'll solve my issue?

Does your MacBook pro support Dual-Link DVI? What are the specs of your MBP?
Someone mentions using this monitor along with the mini-display port to DVI adapter here http://www.amazon.com/PB278Q-27-Inch...ews/B009C3M7H0
It has Displayport input. You don't need an adapter.
VCM100 / X1 / DJM250 / DJM900 / CDJ2000s / Maschine / Audio2+4 / 2i4 / HS8s / TSP 2.6.8
Macbook Air i7-3667U+8GB 10.9 / Win7x64 i5-3570k+24GB
- Extensive connectivity options with HDMI, DisplayPort, and dual-link DVI
Yep sure does, somehow I did not see that. Seems like it even includes the mini display port cable - go for it!
I have the $2,599 one.

I don't think you'll have any issues connecting the monitor via mini-display port as makar1 mentioned. Seems like a good monitor choice.
My laptop has an actual HDMI output. Thanks for your input everyone!
Debating whether to get

now.

The Dell is a neat monitor, grab a mini-displayport to either mini or standard displayport cable (it has both inputs) and a USB3 lead the same length and you're set. Don't use the HDMI from your MBPr to the HDMI input as you may not get the full 2560x1080 resolution - where you will if you use mDP output.
You can knock Dell all you want but their 3 year advanced replacement warranty is hard to beat.
Or try the U2713HM that's on sale for $20 cheaper at the moment:

Main Gig Comp - MacBook Air 11" 1.3GHz i5, 4GB, 512GB, OS X 10.12.6
Gig Gear - TSP 2.6.8 & 2.11.2, Kontrol X1mk2 (x2), D2 (x2), S5, Xone:92, Xone:PX5, CDJ-2000 (x2), DDJ-XP1 ... Rekordbox DJ 5 with a few packs ...
Plenty of studio gear and not enough time ... and a few Nexo PA systems
is there any loss to power if an external monitor is connected to a Macbook pro?
ALSO, although SLIGHTLY off topic - is there a loss of power or a slowdown if multiple devices (maschine, keyboard, audio interface) are connected via USB hub?
And the combination of the two?
