Dell's first OLED display is 4K and uses USB Type-C

Finally - the OLED monitor ball starts rolling!!

he new Dell UltraSharp 30 OLED monitor, announced at CES 2016, offers a 4K Ultra HD resolution is perfect for graphic arts and photography professionals, according to Dell.

The UltraSharp 30 offers a contrast ratio of 400,000:1, offering “true black” coverage of industry colour standards like AdobeRGB and DCI-P3. It also has a response time of just 0.1ms.

Dell is also shouting about the Type-C USB connectivity, which enables “single cable power, video and data connectivity” with compatible systems.

Utterly expected pricing! But don't worry, it's just a sign of things to come. Don't forget that the first consumer UHD monitors were around $3500 when they launched (they used IGZO IPS-type panels) that price and that was only a couple of years ago. I also expect the street price to be lower - and obviously when there is competition, reduced significantly. It's just a shame all of my Dell contacts are out of office currently. I'll definitely be needing some more information on this. :)

Dell’s first OLED monitor and the world’s first InfinityEdge monitors: expands Dell’s industry-leading monitor portfolio


Dell also unveiled a new collection of CES Innovation Award-winning monitors, including a stunning OLED monitor, two new InfinityEdge monitors that offer a virtually bezel-less display and two wireless monitors that allow mobile users to connect directly to the display without cables.

The Dell UltraSharp 30 OLED monitor is Dell’s first OLED monitor, bringing together the advantages of OLED display technology to PC professionals working in color-critical environments such as graphic arts and photography. The monitor delivers a cutting-edge typical contrast ratio of 400,000:1 that delivers “true black”, coverage of industry color spaces such as AdobeRGB and DCI-P3, brilliantly detailed Ultra HD 4K resolution and an ultra-fast response time of 0.1 ms. It also supports USB Type-C enabling single cable power, video and data connectivity with compatible systems.

The Dell UltraSharp InfinityEdge monitors feature the world’s first InfinityEdge displays with ultra-thin borders. Designed with a complementing arm that offers greater adjustment flexibility and integrated cable management, this recipient of 2016 CES Awards in Innovation and Eco-Design helps maximize workspace and minimize desktop clutter. Both the 27-inch Quad HD and 23.8-inch Full HD resolution monitors support outstanding screen performance, color precision and extensive connectivity.

The Dell UltraSharp 24 Wireless monitor and Dell 23 Wireless monitor are packed with the latest technology allowing users to wirelessly display and manage content from a Windows-powered laptop and Android smartphone concurrently via Miracast. The Dell 23 Wireless monitor has additional built-in speakers and a wireless charging stand for compatible mobile devices to enhance the no-wires experience.

Pricing is indeed completely stupid. It's more than the Sony pro video OLED studio / location monitors cost when they first launched 2 years ago, when the price was actually reflective of how much they were costing Sony and the OEM. This price certainly isn't reflective of cost to Dell or production cost.

Didn't expect Dell to be first in the consumer space, and had resigned myself to no OLEDs at CES after LG announced nothing.

I'm assuming Dell either paid LG to be first on the panel, or commissioned them to make it specially. As such, they're trolling with the price (in a literal sense). I think they're hoping to catch a few price insensitive people whilst they're the only game in town. I'd guess this is squarely aimed at primarily Macbook toting graphic designers and animators.

If it's available in May, I'm guessing that by June or July we'll see other brands with similar or same panels for half that figure. Wouldn't surprise me if the Dell itself is around $2K before year end.

That said, I'm glad it's finally happening.

Strange that it won't have DP1.3 ... I assume when they say it's USB Type C it's SuperMHL over USB Type C connector .. or Thunderbolt 3 (Mac user connection).

Also ... 0.1ms response time :) Wonder what refresh rate it supports? Hopefully 240Hz.

Grr the pricing is following the same trend though, Monitors cost more than a TV it seems. Look at the price of the 27" Swift and Z35 then look at the cost of a 4K 42 inch from the big brands. Not much out and here we see it again with a 30 inch OLED monitor and 55 inch screens. Well my money will stay in my pocket until they price monitors right. My Eizo is great so i can wait a year.

I actually plan on getting a 24p HDR OLED for movies first now all the tech has matured, Unlike the to come OLED monitors which can do nothing until DP 1.3 comes. We are going to be twiddling out thumbs on 60hz for the rest of 2016.
 
Partly due to much lower volumes. Mostly due to people being stupid enough to pay ridiculous prices in a niche market ... see the £4-550 price premium for one of the 4K G-Sync over monitors with an identical panel and no G-Sync controller.

OLED is quite poor for burn in, is it not? My PS Vita's both suffered from a bit of this, because i used the browser quite a bit i have bit of the browser bar and the side bar burnt onto the screen.

Wouldn't fancy having the taskbar burnt into a monitor..

Highly doubt this is going to be a problem on this gen. of P-OLEDs.

I can hold my chin up and say i had no part in that! Also the question above me is it relevant? Does OLED need tech to avoid burn in and sample and hold blur? I think i still want ULMB on an OLED over any kind of Syncing. I am not rendering pixels that blur out.
 
Just had a visit from Constantine and he said Rome wasn't built in a day.;)

I need new tech so that it drives down prices of IPS as people make the transition over to OLED technology that is better and will improve over time.

As I said, burn in is very unlikely to be an issue.

ULMB is unnecessary as OLEDs have ultra low response times (0.1ms quoted for the Dell) and the ability to support very high refresh rates. On USB3.1 / SuperMHL there's no reason why it couldn't do 240Hz @ 4K natively ... not sure if DP1.3 would have the bandwidth for that - I suspect not.

Can you double up on connections somehow? Displayport 1.3 is already outdated because the maximum is 4K @ 120hz 4:4:4 with 24bit color. But HDR will take out a great chunk too.

You think then that the response times are going to offer a much superior and true no blur experience than 240hz on my Eizo? I do not even think i would want 240hz i think 120hz feels great, Just need to swap VA to OLED and i would be happy it seems.
