Dell 28-Inch 4K Monitor Priced at $699, Coming This Month
Announced about a month ago, Dell's first 28-inch monitor with a 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) has now been confirmed to arrive in stores in two weeks' time (on January 23rd), priced at $699. Known as P2815Q, this Ultra HD display is said to feature an IPS LED-backlit panel and a stand allowing pivot and height adjustment.
Dell hasn't shared much in terms of specs but if it's similar to the company's other 4K offerings, the P2815Q should have an 8 ms response time, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and HDMI and DisplayPort (maybe even mini DisplayPort) connectivity.

I was expect it to cost ~$999. I think I might buy this one on day one if the reviews are good,.... ;)
Looks like a good value actually.
I'll take the 4K for ~$699 personally and if the price is right this is a great day for monitors and pricing IMO.
Sounds like Forbes is getting the incorrect information from one of their higher-tier 4K monitors. :shadedshu:
So, it's an IPS panel at 4k resolution.
EDIT: I see where the issue is. Yeah, no confirmation on IPS panel. All other info (price of display) is pointing to this being a VA panel, not IPS.
I'm also hoping for a G-Sync 3840x1600 21:9 but oh well. :laugh:
I was going to give it to my Wife but she didn’t want it so I gave it to my sister as a Christmas present. That was about the time that the price dropped to ~$405 USD (for a short while).
Generally speaking I figured I could do better in early 2014 since all signs seemed to indicate that would be the case. If the price on the Dell P2815Q pans out in the USA then I would say I was right to wait.
I have no indication one way or the other but I’m betting we’ll see HDMI 2.0 support since it seems to be coming out on newer devices. If not then the lower then expected price still makes it worthwhile IMO.
I'm going to be all over this one,......day one,....
I expect prices to spike at some point though even if it does come in at ~$699 USD. I've seen it happen before with products with a low MSRP but high consumer demand.
Come on,..... ;)
TN is a no go for productivity that require some kind of color accuracy and 30 Hz is irrelevant to gamers.
This thing will probably just sell to people who could care less about checking the technologies behind because it has the 4K tag.
Could have a niche usage for some people though...
DP 1.2 is perfectly capable of 4K at 60Hz, so I'm assuming the issue is with the panels' guts and not the cards' output?
