this video from CES 2017 is brought to you by freshbooks the number one
0:03
cloud-based accounting solution for Freelancers how long have I been asking
0:09
this question why is it that we can have
0:12
these super high pixel density displ
0:16
okay so apple is maybe not the best example with the iPhone 7 but but these
0:19
super high pixel density displays I mean this is a 2560 by 1440 display in my
0:25
pocket and for some reason it never occurred to any genius to take a bunch
0:30
of these and build like you know a an 8K
0:34
display the size of a PC well we can
0:37
stop asking that question because the Geniuses at Dell have bestowed upon us
0:42
the up 3218 K this my friends is the world's
0:48
first AK monitor that will be going to
0:52
production sometime this year it is a real product and it can be yours for a
0:57
mere $5,000 but if the price tag was going to be a
1:01
concern for you quite frankly there were going to be other bigger issues anyway
1:05
so number one is the actual reason why nobody's ever done this and that's that
1:09
we didn't have a display interface technology that would be capable of
1:13
driving 33 million pixels anyway what
1:17
were you going to do hook up eight HDMI 1.4s I mean that's that's just stupid
1:22
even now you're going to need one of NVIDIA's latest Quadro gpus a p3000
1:27
4,000 or p6000 in order to drive it because it requires
1:32
two DisplayPort 1.3 inputs in order to achieve this
1:38
level of visual Bliss and when I say visual Bliss there's a there's a demo
1:42
one here that I want to find here I mean everything everything looks beautiful we
1:46
can talk about color and all that later but look at this look at all these clocks I mean how many clocks is this
1:50
it's like sort of 10 10 so it looks like probably about 60 by 40 so this would be
1:56
around 2400 clocks 2500 clocks something
1:59
like that it's ridiculous you can actually see the
2:02
minute markings on them but of course getting back to the
2:07
whole image quality thing the up in the product name stands for Ultra sharp
2:12
Premiere which means that it's not just about the quantity of pixels but also
2:16
the quality so they've got full coverage
2:19
of adobe srgb they're saying at or near
2:23
full coverage of adobe RGB as well as DCI P3 and also about 80% coverage of
2:29
Rec 20 20 it's a 10 bit panel and the L
2:33
is actually writable so depending on
2:36
what kind of a workflow you've got maybe you've got a large team of people that
2:39
are working on some kind of a special project of film whatever the case may be
2:43
you can actually program the monitors themselves for the kind of color space
2:48
you want to use and then you can move them around from workstation to
2:51
workstation without worrying that anyone is looking at anything that is anything
2:55
but perfect now with that said most people aren't going to need to do that
2:59
because every single one comes pre-calibrated with a certificate from
3:03
the factory but let's say for example you work with print you can calibrate
3:07
every monitor in your shop to match perfectly your printer your camera and
3:12
even the type of paper that you are printing on and they've made the process
3:17
easier with the x-rite i1 pro Colorimeter which automatically fills in
3:21
some of the uh fields that would normally need to be done manually to
3:25
calibrate a display so is this thing exciting Absol absolutely is it
3:30
completely out of reach for consumers for now I mean given we might not even
3:34
get a GPU from NVIDIA or AMD with DP 1.3
3:37
on the consumer level this year absolutely but that's not going to stop
3:41
me from geeking out about it because it looks absolutely
3:46
stunning so thanks to you guys for watching subscribe so you don't miss any
