Dell’s new UltraSharp 27″ 4K Thunderbolt 3 monitor has 100% Adobe RGB coverage, built-in colorimeter

05 Nov

Dell has used Adobe MAX as an opportunity to announce the UltraSharp 27 4K PremierColor Monitor, a new 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) Thunderbolt 3 monitor made with photographers and videographers in mind.

The monitor, which goes under the product code UP2720Q, is the world’s first 27-inch 4K monitor with a built-in colorimeter and Thunderbolt 3 connectivity that not only makes it possible to daisy-chain two monitors together but also lets you fully power a connected laptop at up to 90W.

The monitor features 100-percent Adobe RGB coverage, 98-percent DCI-P3 coverage and 80-percent BT2020 coverage — impressive numbers considering all of the other features this monitor has to offer. The stand-out feature of this monitor is a built-in colorimeter that pops out of the bottom bezel of the display and works with CalMAN color calibration software to consistently check the monitor’s color accuracy.

Other specs include a pixel density of 163ppi, a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, an 8ms response time and a less-then-stellar 250 nits ‘typical’ brightness. Aside from the two Thunderbolt 3 ports (one upstream, one downstream), the display also features one Display Port 1.4 connection, two HDMI connections, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (downstream) and a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 port (downstream) with 2A ‘Power Charging.’

The monitor comes with an included shading hood and is expected to ship January 15, 2020 for $ 1,999.99.

Dell’s new 8K display is pretty amazing, but do you need it?

27 May

The video industry keeps telling us that we’ll all be using 8K displays in a few years. It’s true that once you see 8K video, you can’t unsee it. It’s really pretty amazing. Until recently, however, seeing one for yourself meant going to a tradeshow like NAB or CES, where you could use a magnifying glass to try to see the pixels. 

But that’s no longer true thanks to Dell, which is now selling a 32-inch 8K monitor for the not-too-surprising price of $ 4999. Just how good is it? In this video, Linus Tech Tips shows just what you’re getting when you buy one. It’s pretty impressive, but even Linus acknowledges that the difference between 8K and a ‘standard’ 5K display is “not as noticeable as you might think.”

Are you ready to go 8K? What would it take to convince you to take the plunge?

Dell’s 8K monitor goes on sale in March for $5000

06 Jan

Ready for 8K? Dell’s UltraSharp 32″ 8K monitor will be the first of its kind to reach the masses when it goes on sale in March. It packs in 33.2MP of resolution (280 ppi) and provides 100% Adobe RGB and sRGB color gamut. If that sounds enticing, you might want to start saving: it’ll start at $ 4999 when it goes on sale March 23rd. 

A thin 9.7mm bezel keeps it looking sleek, and the monitor offers two Displayport 3.1 connections and four USB 3.0 ports. Dell’s product information claims the monitor displays 1.07 billion colors, and lists an X-Rite color checker as ‘optional hardware,’ but we’re pretty sure you’d want to throw one of those in too.

PCWorld points out that just because you can buy an 8K monitor doesn’t mean you should pull the trigger just yet. They suggest waiting until GPUs can keep up, which will likely be later this year.

So are you ready to shell out $ 5000 for 8K, or will you wait a while? Let us know in the comments.
