this video from CES 2017 is brought to you by freshbooks the number one
cloud-based accounting solution for Freelancers how long have I been asking
this question why is it that we can have
these super high pixel density displ
okay so apple is maybe not the best example with the iPhone 7 but but these
super high pixel density displays I mean this is a 2560 by 1440 display in my
pocket and for some reason it never occurred to any genius to take a bunch
of these and build like you know a an 8K
display the size of a PC well we can
stop asking that question because the Geniuses at Dell have bestowed upon us
the up 3218 K this my friends is the world's
first AK monitor that will be going to
production sometime this year it is a real product and it can be yours for a
mere $5,000 but if the price tag was going to be a
concern for you quite frankly there were going to be other bigger issues anyway
so number one is the actual reason why nobody's ever done this and that's that
we didn't have a display interface technology that would be capable of
driving 33 million pixels anyway what
were you going to do hook up eight HDMI 1.4s I mean that's that's just stupid
even now you're going to need one of NVIDIA's latest Quadro gpus a p3000
4,000 or p6000 in order to drive it because it requires
two DisplayPort 1.3 inputs in order to achieve this
level of visual Bliss and when I say visual Bliss there's a there's a demo
one here that I want to find here I mean everything everything looks beautiful we
can talk about color and all that later but look at this look at all these clocks I mean how many clocks is this
it's like sort of 10 10 so it looks like probably about 60 by 40 so this would be
around 2400 clocks 2500 clocks something
like that it's ridiculous you can actually see the
minute markings on them but of course getting back to the
whole image quality thing the up in the product name stands for Ultra sharp
Premiere which means that it's not just about the quantity of pixels but also
the quality so they've got full coverage
of adobe srgb they're saying at or near
full coverage of adobe RGB as well as DCI P3 and also about 80% coverage of
Rec 20 20 it's a 10 bit panel and the L
is actually writable so depending on
what kind of a workflow you've got maybe you've got a large team of people that
are working on some kind of a special project of film whatever the case may be
you can actually program the monitors themselves for the kind of color space
you want to use and then you can move them around from workstation to
workstation without worrying that anyone is looking at anything that is anything
but perfect now with that said most people aren't going to need to do that
because every single one comes pre-calibrated with a certificate from
the factory but let's say for example you work with print you can calibrate
every monitor in your shop to match perfectly your printer your camera and
even the type of paper that you are printing on and they've made the process
easier with the x-rite i1 pro Colorimeter which automatically fills in
some of the uh fields that would normally need to be done manually to
calibrate a display so is this thing exciting Absol absolutely is it
completely out of reach for consumers for now I mean given we might not even
get a GPU from NVIDIA or AMD with DP 1.3
on the consumer level this year absolutely but that's not going to stop
me from geeking out about it because it looks absolutely
stunning so thanks to you guys for watching subscribe so you don't miss any
of our content and a huge shout out to Fresh books for allowing us to be here at CES 2017 if you're not familiar with
