Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
Digital so we've got some alone time with a couple of Dell 4K monitors this
right here is the 2414 Q This is an
ultra sharp display and when they say Ultra sharp I think they actually mean
Ultra sharp this is actually the highest pixel density desktop monitor that Dell
has ever produced and on top of being extremely sharp it is extremely color
accurate so it is has a 10bit panel that means up to 1.07 billion colors and it
comes Factory calibrated to a Delta e of less than two when you couple that with
the exceptional viewing angles and the fact that it's height adjustable
tiltable pivotable swivel pretty much whatever you can think of it's going to
make for one ergonomic and absolutely
beautiful working experience now speaking of beautiful the industrial
design of it is very traditional I actually really like it the last Dell
monitor I bought was a 245 fpw and to me
this looks like kind of like a more modern version of that with a black
bezel with slight silver accents on it it's got uh touch sensitive buttons here
so you can go ahead and press those we've seen this kind of thing before but
it's well implemented here you can see they light up when you even move near
them we're going to go ahead and turn the uh turn the unit around so you can
see how slim it is from the side the answer not particularly slim there's a
lot of Hardware in here in order to get uh
3,840 pixels by 2,160 uses a standard vase amount on a
an aluminum stand so it's just an aluminum base with an aluminum stand
I'll show you guys the height adjust here and in terms of IO you're going to
find uh it's a little bit different than usual there's no dual link DVI there DVI
is does not necessarily work optimally with 4K so guys it uses DisplayPort
mini DisplayPort and HDMI those are your only options the only other I we
find on the bottom is a USB 3 four port
Hub which you're going to be able to use for all your high-speed connections for
that probably quite high-end computer that's running this monitor I think I
went ahead and turned it off there but hopefully you guys still get the point
man it's beautiful even sitting this close to it it's
just crystal clear
kind of want one of these next up we've got the big brother
this is the up 3214 Q from Dell it's got an IPS display
from sharp it's got a usb3 hub it's got
DisplayPort mini DisplayPort HDMI and it's pretty much the same as the 24in
model except for the massive size I mean
you can see me standing next to it I it's it's funny because IED used to use
a 30-in monitor on my desk and I I got away from that because my cat leapt on
top of it and it fell forward onto something and actually cracked the panel
and so it had actually been a while since I had seen one and then I got my
hands on a 30in again a little while ago and I was like wow this is big this is
that experience all over again now if there was one criticism that I had of my
old 30-in it would be that when you make the display that large you lose some of
the sharpness that you would get with something like you know even a a 2560
x440 27in panel just because when they're smaller the pixel density is
higher and it's harder to pick out the individual ones well this alleviates
that problem because this is four times the resolution of a standard 1080p
display so that means it's about the equivalent of looking at you know four
16in 1080p displays Allin one the colors
look absolutely beautiful which makes sense because Dell is promising 100%
Adobe RGB coverage with 9 9% srgb
coverage 1.07 billion colors so that makes it a
10 pit panel and they are promising a Delta e of less than two which means
that color imperfections should be pretty much impossible very very
difficult for the human eye to discern
thank you for checking out this video on Dell's Ultra sharp 4K monitors here at
20 CES 2014 don't forget our trip to the
show is powered by nc.com your source for great technology ology selection and
Service as well as cors our memory and Western Digital without all of those
guys there is no way that we would have been able to be here so thanks so much
for that
