Dell announces 32" 8k monitor for $4,999

[TNA]

This is one of the worst monitors you could get for gaming. The diminishing returns of the PPI/clarity for gaming is off the charts, especially when you consider the MST/3-4 GPU hassle. Not to mention its really slow pixels, IPS glow, back light bleed, poor blacks and contrast ratio of IPS.

This monitor is really for CAD/architects/medical etc.

Still will look better though imo

My next monitor is OLED for sure. How have you found gaming on your OLED now that you have had it for a while? By that I am asking about image quality. I don't really play fast paced games anyway.

will it ever be released in the UK?
or will it be the same as the OLED panel, US only.

I want this for coding, I find it hard to use anything apart from my 15" Macbook Retina screen now.

Everything else looks blurry

I thought there OLED panel got cancelled due to technical issues.

Nope, its this one. Guess they fixed their problems.

The 144hz version of it was canned due to issues, however they still released it in a 60hz form (US only though like hrockh mentions), TFTCentral have been trying to get one to review with no luck. Vega reported back on it the other month after taking the plunge on one: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/oled-4k-30-60-hz-dell-up3017q.18776171/

This isn't OLED I don't think, it's IPS.

The 3017 was the OLED based screen.

8K one is not OLED.

Linus already tested yesterday if am I not mistaken.

$5000 :'(

Do want, so bad.

I really wish people would **** off with "8K". 7680 just isn't 8K. "4K" is bad enough.

 

[UberTiger]

7680 doesn't really roll off the tongue though, does it?

Hurry up and stock them so I can triple screen them. LoL

Here is an article on it from ArsTechnica. Link

Seems like games cannot handle 8K or maybe we need to wait for better graphics cards and drivers as they keep crashing at 8K.

8K sharpness will be awesome, but I think it is 5 years away even for me as 4K OLED with HDR would last me a long time me thinks.

Actually, Linus had it running on SLI Titan Xp cards and many games ran at decent frame rates but it kept crashing, so I'm guessing that it's a video driver problem.

My next gaming display will be a high-refresh rate 4K monitor.

What did I say different?

Also multi gpu is kind of dead unless you enjoy benchmarking. Hopefully it makes a good comeback in the future though like Raja envisions. I would only be interested in it if it works exactly like a single gpu, otherwise not worth the money, time and hassle for me.

What did I say different?

You didn't. I'm just putting a different perspective on it.
