Dell Announces the Ultrathin QHD 27" HDR Monitor (S2718D)
Dell has announced at CES their new ultrathin 27" monitor. Aptly (and maybe unoriginally) named the "Dell 27 Ultrathin Monitor", it sports a Quad HD (2,560 by 1,440 pixels) screen with a 178º viewing angle which also supports HDR (though apparently, and according to Dell, not the same as HDR standards you'll find in 4K TVs. However, it will still be able to display higher contrast and color range than most consumer monitors, with support for up to 99 percent of the SRGB gamut.
The screen also pivots on its stand, which lets you adjust its angle. And the stand is how Dell managed to make such a thin monitor: instead of having most of its hardware sitting behind the screen, Dell moved it down to the base, which makes the monitor seem almost like an all-in-one machine. While the base is a bit chunky, it may be forgiven on the basis of the screen thinness, as well as the inclusion of a USB Type-C connection with power support, an HDMI 2.0 port, and an audio line out.
You can grab the Dell 27 Ultrathin on March 23rd for $700.

That price though....:(
Looks awesome! Always liked Dell for their displays.
Simply put, anecdotal evidence is no evidence at all. I had to send a display back to HannsG 4 times in the past because I think they suck but, I bet you most people haven't had that problem.
On the other hand, DELL should turn this thing into an AIO- just make that base a little thicker and we'd have a good alternative to aesthetics offered by the iMac.
please tell me this is also 99% of Adobe. :/
Hate to think what the monitor would do if the table\desk was knocked lol.
In practice though, I wonder if the monitor would start to drop over time with all that weight on the flexible support?
This one seems to be completely metal...A dozen of retina screens[LG], or 6" 2K tablet screens with MIPI DSI driver boards would be a lot more fun on the same budget :toast:
Just imagine, a super-ultrawide 24-25" multi-screen with an effective resolution of 10240x4320!
