Dell Launches 24-inch Ultra HD Monitor, Preps 28-inch Model
In addition to introducing the UltraSharp UP3214Q model, Dell is set to add two more Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) monitors to its offer, a 24-inch model known as UP2414Q and a 28-inch display named P2815Q.
The UP2414Q should be available shortly and will feature an IPS panel with 99% AdobeRGB and 100% sRGB coverage and 178/178 degree viewing angles, an 8 ms GTG response time, a contrast ratio of 1,000:1 (dynamic contrast ratio is 2,000,000:1), a media card reader, a 4-port USB 3.0 hub, HDMI, DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort inputs, and a stand enabling tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment. This one will cost $1,399. The P2815Q is scheduled to arrive early next year priced at under $1,000.

The 28.3 inch version might have a slightly inferior panel, or it is because of the crazy high ppi (for a monitor) that the 24 version is more expensive.
UP3214Q = $ 3499
P2815Q = $ 1000
UP2414Q = $ 1399
Only if I understood this correctly...
I corrected it in my post.
Though specs claim a 10-bit panel, 99% Adobe RGB and 100% sRGB coverage for the 28.3 model as well, which strikes me as odd for a supposedly 'inferior' panel.
EDIT: That's over 180 PPI! My eyes, they ache for such goodness!
While ~$1000 to ~$1400 is still out of the price range of a lot of retail buyers it definitely is a massive improvement over entry-level level pricing for 4K monitors. It used to be that you were lucky to find a used ~22" 4K 30Hz display for around ~$1500.
I have to wonder where name brand 2560x1600 / 2560x1440 monitor prices will go once these Dell prices (and likely other manufacturers) go into effect?
Dual-Link DVI and Single Stream DisplayPort can't drive 4K@60Hz, that is why MST DisplayPort is needed. My eye ache from not being able to read that small of text on the screen...
While this is in reference to UHDTV dealing with HDMI 2.0 on new 4K monitors in early 2014 should not be significantly different. However, once again I don't know if HDMI 2.0 is handling things differently then DisplayPort MST to achieve 60Hz,...
Cable wise, it makes no difference.
And the Videocards should all go MiniDisplay port in my opinion. And everything else should be through convertor or adapter. As it is much easier to use a small conector like mini Dysplay, you could have all connectors one one PCI Express row, even for a dual card. And you would always have the posibility to create one slot watercooled card. There are some exemples in this direction:
en.expreview.com/img/2011/04/14/powercolorwchd6990_1.jpg the 6990 for instance, except for the DVI connector, its all sweet. The same configuration uses the 7990 Malta.
Thats why i hate nvidia for always going dual slot, when you dont have to.
Im I am ever going to buy Vesuvius, i sure hope it will be able to be watercooled using one slot´like the 6990.
