Just ordered the Dell u3011 monitor that I've been drooling at for a while. But read a few posts that EVE doesn't support these kinds of resolutions? Can anyone confirm / disconfirm?

I have played at 2560x1440 so I don't see why not.

There's no reason why it shouldn't. It's not like EVE particularly cares — it just asks your OS what resolutions are available and then tells DirectX to fill in the pixels as appropriate.

^^ Same here. The length of the local window you can get is quite handy… P

I've done 3840X1080 before. It kind of sucks though because the ship is in between the two monitors.

Shameless boasting about my 4224x1280 res using SoftTH. Runs like a dream. Except in big fleet fights of course...

There's a slider for that now in the options menu to shift the center of rotation over to one monitor. Hope that helps.

you know in your game menu you can set where your ship is centered on your screens? you can set it to center on one screen and have the other screen just space.
