Dell UltraSharp 6K Monitor Doesn’t Seem to Skimp on Anything
Josh Goldman/CNET
Dell throws everything a worker bee can think of into its new UltraSharp 32 (U3224KB), a new-for-CES 32-inch monitor with a 6K-resolution IPS Black panel (that’s 6,144 by 3,456 pixels), plus a plethora of graphics and productivity-focused bells and whistles. The IPS Black screen has a higher contrast than typical IPS panels — and it tested well in the?4K version of the monitor I reviewed last year.
What bells and whistles??
- 4K webcam
- Mic array and dual 14-watt speakers
- Clever pop-down front-facing USB ports
- DisplayHDR 600 certification plus 99% P3 color gamut coverage
- Thunderbolt 4 support with DisplayPort 2.1, 140-watt power delivery, automatic peripheral switching between two connected systems and an Ethernet connection
- Support for portrait-orientation rotation
Thunderbolt and the high resolution plus the 140-watt power delivery make it seem especially suitable for use with a Mac, though it may lose some capabilities that might be dependent on Windows-based software (as frequently happens).
Dell expects to ship it by the end of June. There’s no pricing yet, but it probably won’t be cheap. ?
Two more Dell UltraSharps are getting refreshes: the 43-inch U4323QE with 4K resolution and a USB-C hub (shipping this month for $1,330) and the 34-inch curved U3423WE 3,440×1,440 display, also with a USB-C hub (shipping this month for $1,260).
That’s just the beginning of what promises to be a week full of CES announcements for PCs, monitors and components.?
