This is the one that has been rumoured. It's a 32 inch screen and it does both 480hz at 1080p or 240hz at 4k. It's the best of both worlds, highest resolution and refresh rate and you choose which output to use. You change between 1080p 480 and 4k 240 using a dedicated button at the bottom of the monitor.

The base will have RGB and the monitor, if you want to use it, can output sound by vibrating a film in the panel which sends the sound through the panel towards you. Similiar to high top Sony TVs make sound.

Thats all for now, rest of the details will be shown off during CES next month

Dunno why guys are angry. The monitor has a 4k 240hz mode as well, you don't have to use 1080p 480hz if you don't want to lol

They could have used 1440p instead of 1080p but the thing is because 1080p divides evenly into 4k, it may look cleaner than displaying 1440p on 4k. It's obviously a native 4k panel, it's just they can't do 480hz at 4k so use the firmware to force it down to 1080p if 480hz is selected

The 480hz mode is just an extra cool feature that other monitors don't offer and you don't need to use it

Maybe the monitor will actually let the user put it into the 480hz mode and then go into Nvidia or amd control panel and set resolution to 1440p. That would be another option if it's available but we'll have to see if the monitor lets users do that without having to modify the meta data.

The reason I hope the monitor lets users do that is because it fits in the bandwidth requirements. 4k 240hz needs 74GB/s bandwidth and 1440p 480hz needs less than 74GB/s so theoretically it should work unless LG blocks it because the scaler or some other chip inside the monitor can't handle 480hz at over 1080p

Text clarity for reference to show how good it is on this monitor

4K IPS top
4K QD-OLED middle
4K W-OLED bottom (image from this monitor)




Some people might look at this and think the w-OLED looks even better than the IPS

Dell is either subsidising the monitor because who knows why, maybe they ordered too much stock, or Dell just has far lower distribution costs to the UK than other brands
