Dell is once again raising the bar with innovative new PC monitors that debut world's first technology. Our latest flagship trio showcases industry-leading advancements in color accuracy, eye comfort and audio experience, offering an ideal canvas for creative professionals, engineers, tech enthusiasts or anyone in search of cutting-edge monitors.

With world's first enhanced IPS Black, QD-OLED panel technology, best eye comfort features, AI-enhanced 3D Spatial Sound and more, Dell continues to lead with innovation in the PC monitors space for more than a decade.




Why It Matters?
Global shipments of PC monitors are steadily rising due to a growing requirement for larger and higher resolution displays. At the same time, increasing demands for work and play make owning a high-quality monitor with the latest technology a must.

What We're Announcing:
  • The Dell UltraSharp 32 and 27 4K Thunderbolt Hub Monitors, designed for professionals, offer an exceptional viewing experience with enhanced IPS Black technology, the world's best eye comfort, and productivity features powered by Thunderbolt 4.
  • The Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED Monitor is the world's first QD-OLED Monitor with AI-enhanced 3D Spatial Sound. Its 4K resolution plus QD-OLED technology brings outstanding clarity, vibrancy and infinite contrast, turning any space into a cinematic experience.
Dell UltraSharp 32 and 27 4K Thunderbolt Hub Monitors
Staying true to UltraSharp's reputation as our most premiere line of high-performing professional monitors, the Dell UltraSharp 32 and 27 4K Thunderbolt Hub Monitors feature the world's first enhanced IPS Black technology with a 3,000:1 contrast ratio. They also offer unparalleled eye comfort and an integrated Thunderbolt 4 connectivity hub.



Bringing Visuals to Life
The enhanced IPS Black technology in our latest monitors delivers 47% deeper blacks and an 89% ambient contrast ratio improvement in a typical office environment when compared to conventional IPS. With VESA DisplayHDR 600 and a 4K resolution, users will enjoy improved color accuracy, enhanced color depth, and sharp details even in challenging lighting conditions.

Prioritizing Best Eye Comfort Features
The new Dell UltraSharp monitors are the world's first 4K monitors with the highest 5-star eye comfort certification (TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort 3.0). This means they offer these key eye wellness features:

Lower Blue Light Emission: Reducing up to 30% more blue light when compared to competition while not affecting color accuracy for prolonged comfort 8.
Ambient Light Sensor: Automatically adjusts brightness and color temperature to match your environment, helping to reduce eye fatigue.
Low Reflectance Panel: Minimizes glare for easier focus, particularly useful under office light settings.
120 Hz Refresh Rate: Offers smooth visuals with less flicker which helps enhance viewing comfort.

Ultimate Productivity Powerhouse
Along with Thunderbolt 4, USB-A and C, and RJ45 ports, the new UltraSharp monitors offer up to 140 W power delivery via USB-C Extended Power Range (EPR) for compatible PCs. The front-facing pop-out ports provide easy connectivity and deliver 15 W USB-C charging for phones and other accessories. Both the Dell UltraSharp 32 and 27 4K Thunderbolt Hub Monitors are certified to work with Windows and macOS, supporting multi-monitors setup.

Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED Monitor
Our Dell Plus monitor range combines sleek design with versatile functionality, making it perfect for play, school and work. The Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED Monitor represents a new frontier in display technology, offering a harmonious blend of hyper-realistic audio, stunning visuals and easy connectivity. Whether you're creating, gaming, streaming or simply enjoying content, this monitor is a gateway to a more immersive future.



Discover Hyper-Realistic Audio with 3D Soundscape
The Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED introduces a next-generation 3D soundscape that takes auditory experiences to the next level. Powered by AI, its spatial audio technology dynamically adjusts to create an environment where sound follows your every move.

This AI-driven head-tracking ensures sound coming from the built-in speakers remains precisely aligned with your position, offering pinpoint accuracy for a truly immersive experience. The built-in 5x5W speaker array uses advanced beamforming technology to focus audio directly toward each ear and leverages destructive interference to cancel out the sound at the opposite ear. These combine to provide crystal-clear sound quality that you truly must hear to believe.

Visual Excellence Redefined With QD-OLED Technology
The Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED offers spectacular visuals, combining 4K resolution with QD-OLED technology for amazing clarity, vibrancy and contrast. Its exceptional color accuracy and depth make it ideal for professional and casual use.

Casual gamers will enjoy seamless visuals with a 120 Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync Premium technology, which virtually eliminates motion blur. Along with these gamer-friendly features, an ultra-low 0.03 ms response time enhances fluidity for fast-paced gameplay.

Streaming video is elevated on this QD-OLED monitor which features Dolby Vision and VESA Display True Black 400. Whether it's an action blockbuster or a stunning documentary, the Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED delivers breathtaking realism, transforming your space into a private theater.

Connectivity and Convenience at Your Fingertips
This monitor offers single-cable USB-C connectivity that delivers up to 90 W of power so you can charge and connect devices effortlessly while keeping your workspace organized.

Additionally, the convenient pop-out quick access ports make it easy to connect peripherals. The monitor's intuitive, sleek and modern aesthetics complements any space, while its advanced features cater to the diverse needs of tech-savvy users.

Advancing Sustainability
Committed to a sustainable future, these three new Dell monitors are crafted with up to 100% recycled aluminium, 85% post-consumer recycled plastics, 50% recycled steel and at least 20% recycled glass. They also meet high environmental standards. Both the Dell Ultrasharp 32 and 27 4K Thunderbolt Hub Monitors carry the latest TCO designation and are registered EPEAT Gold with Climate+ meaning they meet key sustainability criteria for energy use and climate impac, while the Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED Monitor meets high standards for energy efficiency with ENERGY STAR certification.

Final Words
By prioritizing performance, aesthetic design, eye comfort, and sustainability, Dell remains a visionary leader in crafting displays that align with the demands of today and tomorrow. These monitors are more than a glimpse into the future—they are here to elevate how we visualize and connect with the digital world today. We're also pleased to share that starting in Feb 2025, users can manage and optimize all Dell displays and peripherals through one application - the new Dell Display and Peripheral Manager (DDPM).

OLED is moving fast. 4 layer and 4000nits "soon". I've been looking for a year or so, but a monitor for the same price as a PC (minus GFX card) is a bit tough to swallow.

Only 120Hz for $1k. Non of the CAD people I know want OLED and I thought it was best for gaming/movies, so a bit confused as to target audience. More models in the market will hopefully bring prices down, so that's good.

I have to say, Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED is probably the most refreshingly simple, yet informative name for a monitor in a long while. Yeah, there’s a model number, but at least it’s not a sole identifying name. Rather that than a random letter and number salad. Yes, Acer, I am looking at you. What the fuck does XB271HUbmiprz even stand for, seriously.

I missed that, OLED is splattered throughout. Selective vision!

You did write "With world's first enhanced IPS Black, QD-OLED panel technology..." though so I took it IPS black was OLED, although it does read more typo now.

As an owner of the Acer XV272K LVbmiipruzx, I can only agree.

I didn't write it, it's a press release, so blame someone at Dell.

I got a Dell U2724D to replace an old NEC 24" IPS display and can certainly say the IPS Black (mine is 2000:1 so these are a big improvement over even that) delivers and it's a rather high quality screen so long as you're not using it for gaming. The lower response time is fairly obvious if you've used a high refresh display which is more gaming optimized. That being said the low blue light, 120Hz and the better blacks are still a huge improvement if you're using the screen a lot for mixed usage/office work.

I will say after having used it I wish they did a gaming version with IPS Black, but that's mostly because I don't really want to go OLED.

Regarding the press release: I laughed at the sentence where they listed all of the available technologies, but didn't bother to structure the sentence so one would understand that's what they were getting at so the IPS Black, QD-OLED was jarring.

IPS black now matches the 3000:1 contrast of VA, very nice. Looking forward to see if the response times also improved, last years 120hz offers are not great in terms of motion performance, they're ok if you're not too picky but kind of bad. Would be great if they also improved that part
