No word on the pricing yet.

At SIGGRAPH, Dell unveiled its first UltraSharp monitor featuring Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) native resolution. The new UltraSharp 32 from Dell, as the name suggests, is a 32-incher. Based on an indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) panel, its color gamut spans across a gargantuan 1.07 billion colors, a 64 times increase over what conventional monitors offer, 16.7 million. The monitor will include software that lets you calibrate it including hardware access to the LUT (lookup table). Dell plans a commercial roll-out of the UltraSharp 32 in Q4-2013.

Even though Dell has fallen off great service/sales, their displays are always welcome to my eyes :)

Looking forward to this one.
 
ah.. at least dell changed it up. clearly all these monitors have sharp screens .. but the sharp and asus monitors are 100% the same.. and F' thos buttons on the side! nice that the dell is usb too :)
 
If its anything close to the quality of my U2711 and a decent working 4K, Ill buy it :)
 
Here we go.... It's the same SHARP panel used in the SHARP and ASUS 4K displays -- those two are the same unit with a different label affixed to the ASUS model. Hopefully Dell attempts something a bit better here. The calibration abilities and LUT access already sounds like a huge step in the right direction. The price on these displays is going to really start falling.
 
After you've snuggled with the 37-inch Eizo display, 32 inches just isn't enough to satisfy that hole in your soul. I'm holding out for a good 39-inch monitor or a good 37-inch from LG or Samsung.

Do you mean the CG276 27" ColorEdge?

Nope. I'm talking about the 37-inch Eizo 4K professional displays, of which there are several. They make them for medical and industrial use (10-bit color!) and they are quite nice for photography and video work though VERY expensive.

Yes I saw that just after.

How does the refresh work and which card are you driving that?

No pricing anywhere, must be scary :)

Hate to pick nits, but are they not 36" with an actual diagonal image size of 35.6"??? Just checking because I wasn't aware of them releasing anything in a 37" size. Anyway, these are still my favorite 4K displays and they are actually 4096 pixels wide, too.

Still waiting for the price to come down to earth before I set one on my desk though. :(
 
Now Im curious as to why these were not mentioned during all the 4K display posts?

Are they that expensive?

Googling now :)

They weren't mentioned because they were designed and marketed for special purposes.

Price was around $35K when they came out. Which is reasonable for a 60lbs 10 bit 4K monitor in 2011 made from medical grade materials and reliable enough for air traffic control.
 
The EIZO 4K displays have been around for about 3 years now. Most of us have kinda brushed them off to the side in our discussions as we have raved about them long ago. EIZO still seems unwilling to lower the price by much, as of NAB this year, they were still pushing them with a list price of $28,000 USD!!! And they were talking about it as if it were a breakthrough price. It is $6K cheaper than at NAB 2012, after all... I've heard that recently the price was lowered again, but not sure by how much. There doesn't seem to be any major push to get these displays out there in quantity, even though for the last 2 years straight, especially after they had a couple at RED's 4K NAB festival, every person to walk into the EIZO booth space pleads for them to get the price under $5K.

They are nice, the panel is 6 bit combined with an RGB backlight system (not edge lit crap) that allows for a 10bit response. They have > 10bit internal processing. Similar to the wide gamut offerings from Dell and HP. Not as good as the DreamColor, but somewhat in the same ballpark. Not too many video cards properly support the displays. IIRC, the displays run off dual DVI input and the screen is treated as two 2048 x 2160 monitors side by side. Getting 10bit to them is tricky as usual, typically limited to software-specific support via OpenGL.

And high-end medical, ATC, surveillance and mapping/GIS are the target uses for this display. It fits right into those industries in terms of pricing.
 
Thanks Jeff that helps with future budgets.

Cross that one off the list :)

We just received our CG276.

Its geared for the Photographer and would have loved to test with ROCKET.

However its only DVI, DP and HDMI.

No SDI to be found.

Wanted to see the diff between the Flanders and the CG276.
 
most of the hi-end 4K monitors (for grading, etc) that are out and/or are due out in the next year are priced in the $1000.00 per inch range - everyone I talked to at NAB this year were estimating their monitors would launch at or near that pricing model. Sounds a bit like price fixing....

Definitely price fixing, IMO. I don't think it's an organized effort to do so, but when you have one or two companies who are first to market they will set the price. Then the next couple will match, rather than under-cut the pricing because they know they have enough of a user base that will eat up their initial production run or two of the displays.

Clark, I don't recall if you were still with us at the Astro booth when Brett, Frank and I started quizzing them about their 4K displays or if you had already wandered on, but the awkwardness on their end of the discussion was really obvious.

TVLogic was somewhat similar and within the first 3 hours of day one, they had already pulled their pricing on their 4K panels. They put up new pricing on wednesday. Still outrageous, but quite a bit less than Astro. I think they're sweating it a bit because Sony is hitting the 4K market very hard this year and will keep turning up the heat. Sony is positioning their 1000ES projector and 84" displays for critical color use. The Sony 84" is 1/3 the price of the Astro 72" and the Sony looks 1000 times better. Actually, the Astro 4K offerings looked HORRIBLE.

Panasonic is still king when it comes to larger sized grading monitors or the 42" thru 65" plasma displays. I'm anxious to see Panasonic's 4K offerings that will arrive early next year. I have also seen the new Sharp 70" 4K and was watching it being calibrated. I would totally consider it for a color grading monitor. Sharp did very well with this unit and I think it's nicer than the 65" Sony. Sure it's $1000 more, but it's 5" larger on the screen and doesn't have the Dumbo-ear speakers.

I just wish this current trend of edge-lighting would go away. It was all but eliminated from the industry except for cheap and crappy displays and now it's back this year with a vengeance.
 
hey Jeff, no wasn't with you at the Astro booth... JVC is getting really to release their 4K panel soon too (another 84" panel) - looks to about $14-15K

Or ditching transmissive, smudgy-motion, 1000:1 technology and remove backlight out of the equation.
