Lionus Tech Tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom Glass. Visit

00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:11,360
store.fantom.glass for the best darn screen protectors out there as well as

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:14,960
HyperX. Now, lucky me, this isn't the first time that I've had an opportunity

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:20,240
to check out a 5K display, but this is the first time that I've been able to do

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:22,760
it on a display that'll work on a PC.

6
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:31,519
So, this is the Dell UP 2715K 5K monitor. It has 5,120 pixels

7
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:35,399
this way, 2,880 pixels this way for four

8
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:39,000
times the total pixel count of a

9
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:42,840
2560x440 display. Yeah, this thing is

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:46,160
crazy crazy sharp. That's about 14

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,920
megapixels 60 times per second. So,

12
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:52,239
let's start with a general physical overview. On the front, it's a 27in

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,320
monitor, so you're going to have that, I guess. There's also a glass bezel around

14
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:01,120
it, so it's an edgeless bezel design. Personally, I really do like this

15
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:05,199
particular style. The stand itself, it's it's not a crazy thin monitor or

16
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,760
anything like that, but it's not bulky by any stretch of the imagination. The

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:13,920
stand is a nice sort of sand blasted anodized aluminum design. It's got a

18
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,280
Dell logo on the back, a Kensington lock, and then there's the IO. And

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,080
that's where things get a little bit tricky because you might be thinking to yourself, "Well, Lionus, hold on a

20
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:27,200
second. What do you mean 5K? I mean, what's a what's a 5K? Did does my does

21
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:32,640
my graphics card support 5K? The answer is no. Probably not. At least not on one

22
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:36,720
output. So, on the bottom of this monitor, you're going to find a USB3

23
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:40,720
hub. So, that's one input and four outputs. Then, you're going to find a

24
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,479
full-size DisplayPort. And then you're going to find another one right next to

25
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:50,720
it. And those two have lines around them that say, "Okay, this is for 5K by 3K."

26
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:54,880
That is how they do it. two DisplayPort inputs in order to drive this entire

27
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:59,920
monitor. There's also a mini DisplayPort in back there, but that one only

28
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:05,719
supports up to 4K max. So, you're going to have to deal with interpolation. Now,

29
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,640
this thing is not cheap. It's over

30
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:12,319
$2,000, but at least it comes with the kinds of professionalgrade, you know,

31
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:17,200
quality and features that you'd expect from a monitor of that caliber. So, it's

32
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:21,200
an IPS panel. It's got a 10 bit. It's a 10- bit panel, so that's a billion

33
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:25,440
colors. Featuring a 12-bit lookup table, so you're going to be able to work with

34
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:30,319
broad gamut content if you want to. It supports 99% of Adobe RGB. It's got

35
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,879
support for advanced calibration features with an X-ray color calibrator.

36
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:40,480
And it even comes with a report in the box certifying it's delta E less than

37
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:44,480
two calibration. So, you shouldn't even really need to do anything unless you

38
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:48,080
have your own personal needs that are a little different from what you might get

39
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:51,360
out of factory calibration. I'm not really sure how much there else there is

40
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:55,760
to really say about it other than that it looks absolutely stunning from the

41
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:59,680
front, from the back. So, why don't we move on to this little tiny box next to

42
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:04,640
it that is actually powering it. So, this is Intel's Broadwellbased Nook. So,

43
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,480
that's their little, you know, next unit of computing thing. Computers that fit

44
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:12,480
in your hands. And I just thought this was cool because this demo right here

45
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:16,959
where we're zooming around and panning around on New York City is actually

46
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:20,959
being powered by this machine. And thanks to its dual mini DisplayPort

47
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:25,680
outputs, it is able to drive a 5K display. Something that we wouldn't have

48
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,280
imagined possible only a couple short years ago. I think there's a couple

49
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:34,080
little things on my cheat sheet here that I missed. So the contrast rated

50
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:39,599
contrast ratio is a,000 to1 which is pretty typical for a static contrast

51
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:42,799
ratio on a on a very solid display. Uh

52
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:44,560
the pixels per inch is 218 just in case

53
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:48,799
you don't want to do the math yourself. It's got 8 millisecond gray to gray

54
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:53,440
response time rating. So you may actually be able to game on it half

55
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:58,799
decently assuming you have the graphics horsepower in order to drive this kind

56
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,760
of a resolution. and uh reality check

57
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:06,159
you don't. So that's hopefully coming in the future. And I think that pretty much

58
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:10,480
wraps it up. Absolutely beautiful. But there is a price to pay and at its

59
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:15,040
current pricing. I'm not sure how many people it's going to make sense for,

60
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:19,359
especially given the pricing of the iMac 5K Retina that also includes a computer

61
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:23,120
built into it. But of course, there's plenty of time for uh for Dell to get

62
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,400
more competitive and for all this technology to get more competitive. And

63
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:31,840
I'm very excited for the future of highresolution displays. Speaking of

64
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:35,520
displays, I'd like to do a shout out for our sponsor here at the show, Phantom

65
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:39,280
Glass. These guys make great protectors for your displays. The ones that go the

66
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,720
ones on your phones, not the ones on your desks, although that could

67
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:48,080
potentially come in the future. They're made of Gorilla Glass, so they're extremely scratch resistant, extremely

68
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:51,680
clear, and they have that same olophobic and nice touch finish on the top of

69
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,280
them. They're basically impossible to get bubbles stuck under. So, they look

70
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,560
exactly like the surface of your actual phone and they're available at

71
00:04:56,919 --> 00:05:03,600
store.fantom.glass linked in the video description. I also want to give a shout out to HyperX. Their YouTube channel has

72
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:08,720
tons of great gaming content. You guys are definitely going to want to check that out and they are a huge part of the

73
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:12,320
reason that we are able to be here as well. Guys, click that subscribe button

74
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,680
so you don't miss any of our CES content or anything else ever again. And I think

75
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,320
that pretty much wraps it up. We'll see you at the next crazy booth here at CES

76
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,320
2015.
