You say "rather mediocre", I see awesome for office/wfh environment and will probably order several of these for our employees. Dell has been putting RJ-45 in Ultrasharps and it's awesome feature
Why are they putting ethernet in monitors?

But thank yo ASUS, for rolling out $1k OLED laptops with 3050 and Ryzen 5xxx in them.
Sure, looking forward to people doing color critical work on a 13 or 14" OLED.

Looks like no one is all that much older in this thread.

Dell Ultrasharps have been a bane in Apple's existence ever since they started putting out Cinema Displays.

The Ultrasharp lineup of monitors has always been built and marketed toward the professional crowd, creatives that work in the film industry, or have need for displays that can always be guaranteed to hit the best points for color accuracy and work of that kind. It's no surprise that these monitors are this expensive; they've always been this expensive. But then they're also covered by Dell's highest level of professional support, they're covered under the same warranty system as their enterprise level products. Response within 4 hours with on site tech support (spares or swap out entirely).

The images don't correspond to the actual product. In the marketing materials it looks like thin bezels all around, but in reality the 32" has a very large chin on the bottom.
Please contact Dell and ask them to correct their photos.

If that would have been DP2.0 and true 10-bit colour with no frc it would have been at top of my prospects for a 4k screen. As for the black thing I wonder if it’s just a polarizer layer or something else??

It doesn't seem to have HDR support, hence no info about it.
I know, it would have to be an UP to get a proper HDR implementation. It just seems like a missed opportunity.
Oh well, I've git the U3219, it's nt like I was going to upgrade anyway.

They only have HDR400, if you can call that HDR
Users can't call that HDR, only manufacturers can ;)

At half the resolution? Yeah, not comparable. This is expensive, but your comparison is just silly.

Also, you might want to consider the scope of what types of work is actually undertaken in offices. A hint: a pretty significant portion of it is not done in Word (or Excel, or any other "text on a white background" application).
Gamers have a one track mind. This is clearly an office monitor and would be good in that environment.

The response time is rated at 8 ms, but once again, this isn't a gaming monitor, so it most likely doesn't matter much.
I disagree with this point.

Content creation is pushing into the 120hz arena and this display would be ill equipped to handle 4k-120hz. And even though 1000/8=125, there are processing and panel latency's to consider. Because of the 8ms pixel response time, the panel will be able to do 4k60hz fine, but little above that. Couple this with the display menu controls being on the back instead of the front and the USB ports being placed in very poor locations, this is an all around design failure for Dell. They'll be asking a premium price for a subpar product. Not acceptable.

Not badly priced if the panel quality is there, compared to the EIZO CS2731 and CS2740.

Still using a CX240 myself, which i bought back in 2013 because of zero IPS Glow and a 100% uniform image.

I am right there with you...do I need my fonts in Word to look "blacker"?

$1149 for a 32 inch, 60hz, 2000-1 contrast ratio, IPS... Why so much when Asus has the TUF Gaming 32", 170hz, 1000-1 contrast ratio, IPS, FOR $429...
Some people need a 100% uniform screen, and not some cheap gamer garbage where a white image shows dark or yellow spots towards the edges.

way too expensive.
Typical for dell. Have to watch for sales.

I got a 4k LG last year 27UL550-W for $350 CAD on sale at Best Buy.

After that ya I wouldn’t pay Dell $1000 CAD for their 27” 4k screen.

Deeper blacks is cool, I guess.

Cool, now you only need to tile four of those next to each other to get a comparable screen size.

If that would have been DP2.0 and true 10-bit colour with no frc it would have been at top of my prospects for a 4k screen.
Are there even any DP 2.0 display controllers out yet? That industry seems to be the slowest one around when it comes to adopting new technologies ...

but it's not a particularly exciting panel
Dude, it's a Dell, how friggin exciting can it be, hehehehe :D

But seriously, Dell has hardly ever been about splashy, unique, or stylish designs. In fact, 99.9% of their products are rather mundane, low-key and basically boring AF IMHO.... but these qualities are usually a really good fit for their target market, ie office machines and utilitarian, mundane users....so moar powah to them....

But those prices will most certainly limit their appeal to pro's in the creative fields and/or people who simply have moar $$ than brains !

Ya no doubt! DP v2.0 was released June 2019. I have seen the rare monitor with it. Next gen AMD apparently will support it and I would assume Nvidia and Intel would probably also support it.

Most screens probably DP 1.2a from May 2012, pretty abysmal indeed.

Some people need a 100% uniform screen, and not some cheap gamer garbage where a white image shows dark or yellow spots towards the edges.

Hate to disappoint, but even Ultrasharp isn't spared the post-pandemic QC of other brands. At one point I tried to get a U2717D, twice - both returned for horrid uniformity. Dell makes no guarantee as to uniformity on these panels, but they do have a relatively stringent dead pixel policy iirc (take note, MSI and Gigabyte).

I do have a U2515H across the pond though, and it is a flawless monitor. I have a S2721DGF now and it's good, gotten better with time - its uniformity issues are less to do with Dell and more inherent to the LG 27GL850 panel it's using.

That said, it doesn't change that Dell is head and shoulders above everyone else when it comes to warranty, support and return policy on its higher end monitors (Ultrasharp and higher end gaming monitors have the same premium warranty and returns). And in a panel market where you're more likely to repeatedly play the try-it-and-return-it lottery than get a good panel, that return policy is worth more than anything else. Normally only Amazon and brick-and-mortar stores are that generous.

To get guaranteed uniformity (or at least better, with software to mitigate it), you need to at least step up to a pro-line BenQ (SW270C, SW271) or high end Eizo. Think the top Asus ProArts too maybe. All of which are Adobe RGB panels, cost as much as a GPU, and aimed at pros with colour accuracy needs.

The Ultrasharps usually have actually good accuracy out of the box, and respond well to proper calibration as well.

Pretty good? 2000:1 is VA territory. Though that would be a rather poor VA, as VA can do even 3000:1.

You say "rather mediocre", I see awesome for office/wfh environment and will probably order several of these for our employees. Dell has been putting RJ-45 in Ultrasharps and it's awesome feature
hOLy F*CK.

I'm hired.

Granted, my newest employer has me with ONE 4K screen at least, but historically...they are HORRIBLE. The job I had before this one I brought my own monitors to work. I couldn't stand their little 22" 1080P TN from GATEWAY computers. And I do CAD/Design/Engineering.

I don't quite see how this is mediocre - yes, it's just 60Hz, but that contrast ratio is unheard of for a desktop IPS monitor. Very few of those exceed 1000:1. There are quite a few laptops in the 1500-1800:1 range, but those typically have glossy screens with contrast enhancing coatings, something I've never seen on a desktop monitor. So if this actually exceeds those, with a matte coating, then that's rather astounding. 98% P3 coverage is also decidedly non-mediocre. KVM, Ethernet and a lot of USB ports are also nice value-adds with real utility. For both productivity and content creation these look like they would be really good. The pricing is a bit excessive (particularly for the 32"), but knowing the Dell Ultrasharp line, there'll be rebates and sales galore.
Yeah seems this display diverts from the "moooore fps" bandwagon and finally we get more quality, wish this thing was released when i brought my lg27850, i would have got instead.

Oh right, do you know what the best way (cheapest) is to have my system in one room but my monitor, keyboard and mouse in another room? Thanks, long HDMI cables seem to be really expensive.

If you want to make it look a bit nicer, buy a 27BK750Y-B model stand for it. It's compatible with the 27GL850 and made me personally soften the rather poor opinion I had of this monitor when I first got it.

You are absolutely correct. I admit I missed the 4K vs the TUFs. Thanks for correcting me.

Pretty good? 2000:1 is VA territory. Though that would be a rather poor VA, as VA can do even 3000:1.
Yeah, maybe understated that a bit. It is indeed an excellent part of the spec sheet.

If you want to make it look a bit nicer, buy a 27BK750Y-B model stand for it. It's compatible with the 27GL850 and made me personally soften the rather poor opinion I had of this monitor when I first got it.
Already got custom stand these pronged stands that come with all gaming monitors are horrible.
