of DisplayPort and USB 3 ports but I have to assume it's SDXC since they do say it'll handle up to 1 tbte car cards either way it's a welcome addition which brings us around to the back where there are some simple things like the charging only USB port here on its own power in the Uplink and four data usb3 ports one with a bit more clearance for larger connectors and a very unusual input configuration the first thing you'll likely notice is the absence of anything but DisplayPort ports with the next probably being the weird color coding on one of the full-size ones here's how this works if you're insane or just doing it temporarily I guess then you can plug a single DP cable into the big blue port or the mini one but you'll be limited to 4K 60 htz hence the insanity if that's your long-term plan for this monitor if you value your money at all and you realize that if you'd wanted to run 4K you'd have been better served by a native 4K display then you're going to want to

that there are effectively two separate monitors in here with two side by-side tiles since unlike Apple Dell couldn't create their own ton and display interface since it had to work with standard video card was not too positive with the up2715k other than an occasional half width bio screen and longer than normal delay when all tabbing out of applications I didn't notice any issues yay but at this price not noticing issues isn't good enough it has to knock your socks off I'll start by saying I was pretty impressed by the onscreen menu lots of modes including a low Blue Light reading mode and adjustments including six axis color sliders for the custom calibration mode although if the included calibration report is anything to go by most people likely won't need them since my monitor managed Delta ease of less than two pretty much across the board indicating excellent color accuracy and I didn't notice any backlight bleed either which was pretty nice and while I was disappointed that Dynamic contrast ratio cannot be turned off the built-in dead pixel Checker absolutely blew me away I noticed while I was digging around in there that the only options for Pixel response time are normal and fast although I couldn't tell the difference between them at all anyway but I actually don't mind that for a couple of reasons first I never really recommend cranking overdrive since I personally find the artifacts on the Leading Edge much more distracting than motion blur behind a moving object and second because the motion blur on this monitor is surprisingly good for an IPS monitor and while I couldn't test input leg since my tester relies on HDMI the gaming experience as far as either of those things are concerned is great mate but what about trying to game at that 5K resolution Linus well great question one word wrecked actually okay not quite that bad it's it's not that bad but forget about running games at Max details Tomb Raider 2013 was run at Ultra with no motion blur ultimate with tress F was a stuttery mess Crisis 3 managed very high textures and medium settings across the board and Shadow of Mordor did okay at very high without motion blur and at medium textures it should be noted that in all of these games I turned antialiasing off manually if it wasn't already for two reasons number one are you insane my 980s were already suffering and number two is that while at 4K I like two times anti-aliasing at 5K I really don't see the point at all I seriously cannot tell the difference and I guess the word seriously is a great segue into this conclusion this monitor is a serious piece of gear for serious users at least the ones who are serious about accepting the limitations of it that come along with its astonishingly sharp pixel density at 32 in on the Acer b326hk I found 4K barely usable but usable without scaling so you will need scaling on this one 150% was borderline and 200% was great for me and in Windows I feel like that single-handedly defeats the purpose of the upgrade in the old days we upgraded monitors to get more pixels to put stuff on it made our virtual workspaces bigger but with 200% scaling there is no advantage in this regard over a 1440p 27in monitor so when steam's game list looks like it's full of you know titles about 144k Warfare it feels like a bit of a poor investment for such a steep asking price when you consider that Apple includes a computer in the package for a few hundred more bucks if you're willing to give up some flexibility in terms of upgrades and that by the time scaling is pretty much fixed across the board maybe another couple of years much more affordable options will be available so this one professionals only need apply which can't necessarily be said about
