Remote and hybrid work are getting really, really big. So when you're spending half the day on video calls, having a monitor that handles them—and everything else—well is more important than ever. Dell hopes it can deliver the best of the best with the latest premium display in its UltraSharp monitor line, shown off at CES 2023.
What's the big deal? Many more pixels: If you're still impressed by 4K resolution, you'll be blown away by the Dell UltraSharp 32 6K monitor, which promises not only sky-high resolution but a smarter webcam and a smaller carbon footprint.
Sharpen Your Senses
The UltraSharp 32 6K display is exactly what the name says: a 32-inch-diagonal monitor with superfine 6,144-by-3,456-pixel resolution on what Dell calls an IPS Black panel. The screen promises brilliant colors and contrast along with VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification, combining true-to-life color with outstanding clarity and detail for digital content creators and design professionals.
Now, 6K resolution might seem most interesting to photo and video editors, CGI renderers, engineers, and the like. But the monitor is designed to be an office productivity powerhouse, too, built with multitasking in mind. A built-in auto KVM lets you control two PC sources with a single mouse and keyboard, viewing content from two computers with picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture modes.
The display also boasts a connectivity hub with extensive port options, including Thunderbolt 4 and a pop-out USB hub with front-facing ports. Two echo-canceling microphones are positioned atop the monitor, with 14-watt stereo speakers built in.
A Super-Sharp Webcam to Match
At the center of the monitor sits an updated, intelligent 4K webcam. The camera uses a new dual-gain HDR CMOS sensor and a multi-element lens to deliver the clearest image possible. You can tilt the webcam to the angle you want and customize how much of your surroundings the image shows. And if that's not enough for you, you can also tilt, swivel, and adjust the monitor's height to exactly your liking.
If security is a concern, Dell's got you covered. The webcam's Dell Express Sign-in technology detects your presence when you're nearby and logs you in automatically, locking your PC when you walk away. The camera syncs with all major videoconferencing programs, opening and closing the shutter as you launch and exit the apps. Mute and camera-disable touch sensors are accessible at the front of the monitor, allowing easy control of the webcam, mics, and speakers.
Dell manages all this and more while maintaining its promise of sustainability. The UltraSharp 32 6K monitor is made of 85% post-consumer recycled plastic and 90% recycled aluminum.
All told, it looks like an all-around killer desktop display that creative and productivity professionals are certain to lust after. We can't wait to get our hands on one for thorough testing and review when it ships later in 2023.
