4K - 24" Dell UP2414Q
- Thread starter Vega
- Start date
As noted by a good UK source (i.e. myself), £1056. I'm not entirely sure whether that includes VAT. Trying to get confirmation on that from Dell.
How did you get that figure? (not being a d**k, genuinely interested)
If it is near a grand im buying i dont care im buying. That PPI is godly... just think no more MSAA. Even WoW will look gobsmackin at that resolution and PPI. I just worry about the usual 60HZ crap really need GSYNC now or 75HZ 4K. It really does tear you up inside when a year ago all we had was Korean 120hz and ow we have 4K 60HZ coming and VA 240HZ.

I have contacts.
...It came from Dell's PR people and is included in a UK press release that hasn't circulated yet. I review monitors and stuff so get these sorts of things first.

Very interested in the mooted 28" actually after reading the Engadget article.
The 24" and 32" monitors are listed on US and HK sites but not UK yet.

the 32" one is £2,397.60 on another site
Bit expensive. I can get for pretty much £2k bang on.

Ah ok nice, if that's the price inc VAT it's very very tempting.
Yeah I've read a few of your reviews.
32" version @ OCUK! : http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=25423375#post25423375
Nice in theory, fraking dreadful in practice. Even 8.1 isn't properly fixed for different DPI settings. Certain GUI elements are broken or very poorly implemented. Even core things like Explorer have icons which do not scale properly. Then there are all the third party apps which aren't DPI aware at all.
What you end up with mixture of clean and crisp and mushy and pixelated. A bit like running iPhone apps on an iPad.
Well Apple have paved the way for high DPI versions of apps with their retina MacBook Pros, Office is DPI aware in OSX (the UI isn't though, but it's usable), Adobe have updated many of their core programs for high DPI too. There is a loss in sharpness when you're web browsing though, but more and more sites load alternate images/graphics now. Having such a high res is just amazing if the programs you use support it though, doing layouts in InDesign is so nice, it's almost as if I'm looking at actual print.

Why in the world release a 24" 4K monitor. Least they could have done is 27". Looks like they are testing the water, don't have high hopes for this.
DisplayPort 1.3 standard is coming in 2014, not expected to appear in devices until 2015, it will support 8K, oh and 4K in 3D.
Can't get here soon enough, once it's here, then we will see more 4k monitors.

That's good to know.
Though i believe that HDMI 2.0 will be the big push for 4K monitors and TVs due to the standardisation.
Well,Sony has already put out a HDMI 2.0 firmware update for the Bravia 55-inch and 65-inch X8 and X9 series back in September.

I am not too excited about HDMI 2.0, it just matches the bandwidth of a 4-year old DP 1.2 standard allowing 4K at 60 Hz. The big news with DP 1.3 is it will allow 4K @ 120 Hz!
Imagine a strobing backlight 4K 120 Hz display, now we are talking some serious stuff!
