vibranium Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Want to be the envy of your next office party or PC-gaming session? Let me introduce you to the Dell UP3017Q OLED Monitor. This $4,999 (about £3,350, AU$6,975) 4K, 30-inch monitor is one of the most exciting displays we've ever laid our eyes on. Built with the same Infinity Display you'll find on Dell notebooks like the XPS 13, this monitor features almost no bezel surrounding the display. This attribute provides you with a cinematic viewing experience, especially when compared to monitors that feature thick black plastic borders surrounding the screen. Additionally, the monitor itself is as thin as a slice of Katz's pastrami. Seriously, it's less than half an inch thick at the edges of the screen, which is absolutely revolutionary. Aside from its beauty, the UP3017Q features an astounding spec sheet that makes the eyes and mouth water. SPECS The best monitor we've ever reviewed at techradar is the LG 34UC97. This gorgeous workhorse features a response time of 5 milliseconds (ms), a contrast ratio of 1,000 to 1, and a refresh rate capable of drawing 61 images per second (or 61Hz). The UP3017Q blows these specs out of the water. The Rolls-Royce of displays is capable of a 0.1ms response time, a contrast ratio of 400,000 to 1, and a refresh rate of 120Hz. This isn't really a fair comparison. The LG monitor is 20% the cost of the UP3017Q, and it's fantastic for anyone who has reasonable means and needs a powerful display. The UP3017Q isn't a reasonable device, it's a luxury item, and its spec sheet reads as such. Seriously, compare it to any of the best monitors on our list. The stats are overwhelming. EARLY VERDICT Not many people have $4,999 to spend on a monitor. But those who do will absolutely love the look and feel of the UP3017Q. I can't attest to the device's longevity, or how exact Dell's claims are regarding the image output, until I test the device. But I can tell you that this is a gorgeous monitor that will immediately captivate anyone who walks into your office. If you find a pile of cash, and you need a 4K monitor, give the Dell UP3017Q your utmost consideration. ARTICLE SOURCE COMMENT: In a few years' time when prices fall, many of us will have one of these OLED babies on our desktop. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
