1 00:00:02,159 --> 00:00:10,000 Dell's groundbreaking 8K monitor the last time 2 00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:16,119 I checked out one of these was on a crowded show floor and to say that that 3 00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:17,199 one was a little pre-production would be 4 00:00:16,119 --> 00:00:26,560 an understatement but Dell has been hard at 5 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:28,800 work for 4 months on their apptly named 6 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:35,320 up3218k and the the finished product is now in 7 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:38,800 our hands for evaluation as a Content 8 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:41,160 creation device a Content consumption 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:47,800 device and last but not least we uh might fire 10 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,800 up some games on 11 00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:01,440 it Synergy is the software that lets you 12 00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:05,640 share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers check it out now at 13 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:09,560 the link in the video description wait for 14 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:28,880 it I went too early here we go it's 15 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:32,159 alive 8K resolution at 60 HZ everything 16 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:34,439 about the ultra shark up 321 is either 17 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:41,200 state-of-the-art like the aluminum build quality hyper thin infinityedge TM bezel 18 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:45,439 and glass front or it makes state-ofthe-art 19 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:48,640 look like an antique the specs of this 20 00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:51,240 thing are absolutely unreal it comes 21 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:57,920 tuned out of the box with an individual calibration report that promises Delta e 22 00:01:53,799 --> 00:02:03,479 values of less than two and full 23 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:06,560 yes 100% coverage of the Adobe RGB color 24 00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:09,599 space it's got 400 nit Peak brightness 25 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,599 which is Rock Solid for a non-HDR panel 26 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:18,000 although a little more on that later and a static contrast ratio of 1,300 to1 27 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:25,239 which is outstanding for an IPS panel type but that ignores the most obvious 28 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:31,480 calling card of this utterly unique 29 00:02:25,239 --> 00:02:35,200 product the 8K resolution 10bit 60 HZ 30 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:37,120 panel I mean this is so far out ahead of 31 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:44,200 the curve that we don't even have a display interface that can handle it yet 32 00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:48,920 like early 4K displays with DisplayPort 33 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:52,280 1.1 inputs it needs two connections to 34 00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:55,239 the computer to run at its maximum 60 HZ 35 00:02:52,280 --> 00:03:01,800 refresh rate but there's a big difference these are DisplayPort 36 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:10,080 1.4 four ports well hold on a minute lonus DP 1.2 can handle 4K 60 HZ no 37 00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:15,480 problem and 1.4 has about double that 38 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:20,120 bandwidth why do we need two of those 39 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:24,480 ah because 8K is more than twice as many 40 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:28,519 pixels as 5K four times as many as 4K 41 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:32,519 and I'll whopping 16 times the pixel 42 00:03:28,519 --> 00:03:34,040 count of 10 80P we are talking 43 00:03:32,519 --> 00:03:42,599 33 megapixels 60 times per second and until 44 00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:45,680 video card makers Implement DSC or 45 00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:47,879 display stream compression the only way 46 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:55,640 to push this many pixels is going to be to add more chords I have some good news 47 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:59,079 too though Dell has a lot of experience 48 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,319 building high-end displays and it really 49 00:03:59,079 --> 00:04:06,640 shows unlike early dual input 4K monitors 50 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:11,360 there's no flakiness where half of the display looks a little different from 51 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:17,000 the other half or where one side will refuse to turn on sometimes in fact you 52 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,919 can even just yank out one of the cables 53 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:25,160 and the only effect that you'll see is that the entire display will now be 54 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,720 running at 30 HZ instead of 60 and from 55 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:31,960 what I've seen plugging it back in is an equally seamless transition 56 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:36,000 and all of this experience carries over to the physical design as well in spite 57 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:42,039 of the panels weight heat and power consumption 58 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:47,199 characteristics they managed an internal power supply with passive Cooling and 59 00:04:45,039 --> 00:04:55,160 all the Creature Comforts that creatives are used to height adjustment tilt 60 00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:59,280 swivel and even pivot are all built into 61 00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:02,320 a base that just exudes quality and they 62 00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:04,560 include a vase amount for you as well 63 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:08,520 not only that but while you're typing or moving your mouse around there is next 64 00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:15,440 to no screen wobble which is really hard to do with a panel this heavy the four 65 00:05:12,039 --> 00:05:18,039 port built-in USB hub is pretty much a 66 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:24,039 bonus at this point though if I was to criticize something I wouldn't mind some 67 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:25,720 basic built-in speakers for emergencies 68 00:05:24,039 --> 00:05:30,080 okay enough about all of that though let's talk about actually using it the 69 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:34,520 first thing I wanted to do was fire up an 8K wallpaper which believe it or not 70 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:39,919 in spite of all the advertised 8K wallpapers are pretty freaking hard to 71 00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:43,479 find took me about 20 minutes that would 72 00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:46,560 be a nice touch D including some like 73 00:05:43,479 --> 00:05:48,639 dope AF highly detailed desktop 74 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:54,880 backgrounds cuz once I got that fired up it looked freaking amaz balls I mean 75 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:57,440 seriously face this close to the display 76 00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:02,039 and you're basically is she naked on that 77 00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:05,880 balcony no no no she's not but the crazy 78 00:06:02,039 --> 00:06:08,360 thing is that I can tell in terms of 79 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:15,840 configuration The Sweet Spot for scaling seems to be in the sort of 80 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:19,160 250% range if you have pretty sharp eyes 81 00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:21,720 and uh yeah I mean I guess it's really 82 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:26,960 easy to get going so let's have a look at some content 83 00:06:24,039 --> 00:06:32,240 creation High DPI scaling still isn't perfect across the board on Windows 10 84 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:36,280 creators update but Adobe Premier Pro 85 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:39,639 scales perfectly looks absolutely razor 86 00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:43,479 sharp and I have no complaints as far as 87 00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:46,599 this particular Suite goes but this is 88 00:06:43,479 --> 00:06:50,199 one time when being ahead of the curve 89 00:06:46,599 --> 00:06:53,960 it has the potential to be a little bit 90 00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:58,199 rough because uh unless you've also 91 00:06:53,960 --> 00:07:00,680 dropped you know 7 plus ,000 on your uh 92 00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:07,199 you know red rocket X accelerator card and a high-end GPU if you're working 93 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:10,120 with Native 8K content there is pretty 94 00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:15,199 much no way that I can see that you're going to be able to play back this kind 95 00:07:12,039 --> 00:07:18,120 of footage in real time anyway losing 96 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:24,680 some of the benefit if you're playing it back at a quarter or 1/8 resolution of 97 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,680 investing in an 8K display but of course 98 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,080 that's only true if you're talking about the footage before you've exported it so 99 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:36,479 let's go ahead and Export the footage and just watch it 100 00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:45,840 back okay so now we're talking this cool as a 101 00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:48,440 cucumber chunk of 8K footage of our DIY 102 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:56,240 desk PC project which was shot on the Red Epic W with the helium sensor that 103 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:58,560 burkel set to music looks fantastic on 104 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:05,520 this display the 8K viewing experience is unlike anything else in that you can 105 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:08,479 sit as close as you want to the Monitor 106 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:13,520 and you still can't perceive any drawback other than that maybe it 107 00:08:10,919 --> 00:08:19,240 captured too many little details like specks of dust that you wouldn't have 108 00:08:15,479 --> 00:08:23,319 necessarily wanted to show with that 109 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:26,199 said on the subject of drawbacks um all 110 00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:34,440 of this is if you can find any 8K content we used our own for reasons 111 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:37,800 Beyond convenience there just isn't much 112 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:39,599 but how about 8K gaming I don't know 113 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:45,600 about you guys but for me one of the greatest things about PC gaming is that 114 00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:52,880 getting a better video card and uh higher resolution new monitor is a great 115 00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:55,519 way to breathe life into Old titles 116 00:08:52,880 --> 00:09:01,320 giving them a visual Fidelity that not even the developer would have been able 117 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:04,519 to experience as at the time of creating 118 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:07,720 them unfortunately in this 119 00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:12,200 case there were some drawbacks to go 120 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:14,279 along with the phenomenal image quality 121 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:21,399 I actually don't blame Dell for any of this the input leg and pixel response 122 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:23,760 times of their AK display are about as 123 00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:31,399 good and feel about as good as you'd expect but even with top-of-the-line GTX 124 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:36,000 1080ti graphics cards in SLI with liquid 125 00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:40,200 cooling to boot either the driver or the 126 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:46,240 game engine whoa that was fun seems to 127 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:48,880 just choke on something all the time and 128 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:55,839 crash as often as not and this is even true for relatively lightweight titles 129 00:09:51,399 --> 00:10:00,560 like Team Fortress 2 so is there a 130 00:09:55,839 --> 00:10:04,839 customer for this thing at 5,000 131 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:07,920 us well high-end users used to spend 132 00:10:04,839 --> 00:10:11,120 that kind of money on larger displays 133 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:14,440 and higher resolution to increase their 134 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:17,760 working space for program layouts and 135 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:20,279 their canvas size for their projects 136 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:27,360 that is where legendary displays like dellz own 3007 wfp got their popularity 137 00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:33,320 going from a 1280 by 1024 17in LCD which would have been 138 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:37,959 pretty typical at the time to one of those beasts was like moving from the 139 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:43,639 closet under the stairs on privet drive to Buckingham freaking Palace but 140 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:52,079 nowadays you can get something the same size as this with a usable resolution 141 00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:54,399 for literally an order of magnitude less 142 00:10:52,079 --> 00:10:59,000 money I mean obviously it costs more than that one for something with color 143 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:05,000 accuracy approaching this guy but we're still still paying a big premium for a 144 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:07,480 couple of things number one is sharpness 145 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:13,959 though to Dell's credit that is a sharpness that absolutely crushes even 146 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:20,399 outstanding displays like LG's ultra fine 5K on paper though in my honest 147 00:11:17,639 --> 00:11:27,000 opinion in person the difference is not as noticeable as you might hope and 148 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:30,880 number two for being the first one on 149 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:34,200 the block with an eight K 150 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:37,399 display so then especially with that 151 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:41,639 last point in mind is there a customer 152 00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:45,320 for this product well you bet there is 153 00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:48,680 because when it comes to pcmr bragging 154 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:54,040 rights there is no limit as far as I can 155 00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:57,240 tell and this is the 156 00:11:54,040 --> 00:12:00,079 Ultimo Synergy is a software download 157 00:11:57,240 -->
