Yes but the sooner it's out, the sooner prices will come down
Think these are postponed. Maybe they went back to the drawing board after all the bad feedback re: connectivity.
It wasn't even shown at CeBit.
Wouldn't be surprised if they're no longer the first to market now ... unless they have an exclusivity deal with LG that only starts ticking once it's available.

I have reason to believe that it is a Samsung panel, actually. And the last they said was availability from March 31st on Dell.com which had yet to transpire.
Plenty was held back from CeBit. It's a far more focused event than CES, it isn't really a consumer electronics tradeshow like CES or IFA.
It isn't a Samsung panel because the only OLED units larger than tablets they produce are in test labs. Unless they've willfully chosen to mislead their shareholders over their production of large panel OLEDs in '17 as opposed to early Q1 '16. A Dell monitor also most certainly would not be their first large panel. Unless you're saying that Dell have paid an OBSCENE sum to samsung for an extremely limited run produced on their test fab, which would mean them likely losing thousands on each unit sold? They'd also likely suffer serious reliability issues as they aren't a consumer product. Also, according to Samsung, the tech their '17 big panel OLEDs will use to avoid longevity issues has only just been solved in their labs. I.E. pretty much no way, no how is a 4K 30" OLED Q1 '16 monitor Samsung.
Fair comments - and Dell themselves are very tight-lipped about their manufacturer. I did think it was very strange that it would be Samsung and it didn't seem to tally up with their current state of production at all. It's just that there were reports over on Korean Times and some other news agencies over there (which are generally rather reliable) stating that it was a Samsung piece. The more you think about it, the less plausible that is though.
Maybe they have some kind of tech to 'stitch' the smaller tablet size panels ... but I really can't imagine that is so, and they'd still face the longevity issues that those panels would if used in a desktop environment.
I don't really know where AUO are at re: big panels ... probably years off, and given how inferior their mobile sized panels are to LG & Samsung, I can't forsee Dell taking the risk on one of their panels for a first of its kind pro product.

i thought it would have been manufactured by LG, and they would soon follow suit with their own branded monitors
I reckon this is going to get canned completely or become vapourware. There has been zero info for 6 weeks now, and the last day of March passes today.
IMO someone else or Dell themselves bring a much more well thought product to market in volume before the end of Q3.

Phillips upcoming IPS 43" beast is going to destroy the competition at this rate.
But will you be doing so on planet earth, or in your house on the moon, where many of us will no doubt be living by the time this monitor you speak of is available.

At 5 times the price plus considerably smaller screen? Nah.
"Fine-tuning", I was told. Should have more information on release in the not too distant future.
