The UP2718Q monitor’s native resolution is 3840 x 2160 pixels. With a brightness of up to 1,000 nits, according to Dell the device can display the deepest black and brightest white. And the Adobe RGB, sRGB and REC 709 color spaces are said to be covered 100 percent, DCI-P3 97.7 percent and REC2020 76.9 percent. Users can individually set the color parameters in Custom Colour Mode or make adjustments by storing their preferred color parameters in the monitor’s internal lookup table using an optional colorimeter. It is Dell’s first HDR10 screen with premium certification from the UHD Alliance.

With the Dell UltraSharp 27 4K (U2718Q), Dell has another 27-inch monitor in its range that is not HDR-capable.

8K 32-Inch Monitor

Dell already presented more hardware at CES in January, including the new flagship monitor UltraSharp 32 8K (UP3218K), with 32 inches and 8K resolution. The UP3218K is said to cover the AdobeRGB and sRGB color spaces completely. Driving it at full resolution and 60 Hz requires two DisplayPort cables, since only 30 Hz is possible via HDMI.
