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

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:14.960
HyperX. Now, lucky me, this isn't the first time that I've had an opportunity

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

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:22.760
it on a display that'll work on a PC.

00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:31.519
So, this is the Dell UP 2715K 5K monitor. It has 5,120 pixels

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:35.399
this way, 2,880 pixels this way for four

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:39.000
times the total pixel count of a

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:42.840
2560x440 display. Yeah, this thing is

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:46.160
crazy crazy sharp. That's about 14

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:47.920
megapixels 60 times per second. So,

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:52.239
let's start with a general physical overview. On the front, it's a 27in

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

00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:01.120
it, so it's an edgeless bezel design. Personally, I really do like this

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:05.199
particular style. The stand itself, it's it's not a crazy thin monitor or

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:09.760
anything like that, but it's not bulky by any stretch of the imagination. The

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:13.920
stand is a nice sort of sand blasted anodized aluminum design. It's got a

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:17.280
Dell logo on the back, a Kensington lock, and then there's the IO. And

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

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

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:32.640
my graphics card support 5K? The answer is no. Probably not. At least not on one

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:36.720
output. So, on the bottom of this monitor, you're going to find a USB3

00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:40.720
hub. So, that's one input and four outputs. Then, you're going to find a

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:44.479
full-size DisplayPort. And then you're going to find another one right next to

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."

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:54.880
That is how they do it. two DisplayPort inputs in order to drive this entire

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:59.920
monitor. There's also a mini DisplayPort in back there, but that one only

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:05.719
supports up to 4K max. So, you're going to have to deal with interpolation. Now,

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:08.640
this thing is not cheap. It's over

00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:12.319
$2,000, but at least it comes with the kinds of professionalgrade, you know,

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:17.200
quality and features that you'd expect from a monitor of that caliber. So, it's

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

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

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:30.319
broad gamut content if you want to. It supports 99% of Adobe RGB. It's got

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:34.879
support for advanced calibration features with an X-ray color calibrator.

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

00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:44.480
two calibration. So, you shouldn't even really need to do anything unless you

00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:48.080
have your own personal needs that are a little different from what you might get

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:51.360
out of factory calibration. I'm not really sure how much there else there is

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:55.760
to really say about it other than that it looks absolutely stunning from the

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

00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:04.640
it that is actually powering it. So, this is Intel's Broadwellbased Nook. So,

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:08.480
that's their little, you know, next unit of computing thing. Computers that fit

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:12.480
in your hands. And I just thought this was cool because this demo right here

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:16.959
where we're zooming around and panning around on New York City is actually

00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:20.959
being powered by this machine. And thanks to its dual mini DisplayPort

00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:25.680
outputs, it is able to drive a 5K display. Something that we wouldn't have

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:29.280
imagined possible only a couple short years ago. I think there's a couple

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:34.080
little things on my cheat sheet here that I missed. So the contrast rated

00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:39.599
contrast ratio is a,000 to1 which is pretty typical for a static contrast

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:42.799
ratio on a on a very solid display. Uh

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:44.560
the pixels per inch is 218 just in case

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

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:53.440
response time rating. So you may actually be able to game on it half

00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:58.799
decently assuming you have the graphics horsepower in order to drive this kind

00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:01.760
of a resolution. and uh reality check

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

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:10.480
wraps it up. Absolutely beautiful. But there is a price to pay and at its

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:15.040
current pricing. I'm not sure how many people it's going to make sense for,

00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:19.359
especially given the pricing of the iMac 5K Retina that also includes a computer

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

00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:27.400
more competitive and for all this technology to get more competitive. And

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:31.840
I'm very excited for the future of highresolution displays. Speaking of

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

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:39.280
Glass. These guys make great protectors for your displays. The ones that go the

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:42.720
ones on your phones, not the ones on your desks, although that could

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

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:51.680
clear, and they have that same olophobic and nice touch finish on the top of

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.280
them. They're basically impossible to get bubbles stuck under. So, they look

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:58.560
exactly like the surface of your actual phone and they're available at

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

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

00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:12.320
reason that we are able to be here as well. Guys, click that subscribe button

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

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

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.320
2015.
