Dell Belize published an overview of the UltraSharp UP2414Q 24" 4K monitor. I must say, 3840×2160 in a 24" display would certainly look make text look "ultra sharp". The rest of the company still does not appear to be acknowledging its existence but I think this is a pretty safe rumor.
One of the selling points of Dell UltraSharp monitors is its color gamut. It is not too difficult to find a monitor with 100% sRGB coverage, but Adobe RGB is quite larger; the UP2414Q claims to be able to reproduce 99% of it. This means that, if properly calibrated, the monitor can reach "further colors" instead of approximating them. Specifically, 100% Adobe RGB is roughly the gamut possible with color printers.
Put into perspective: my Wacom Cintiq 22HD claims 72% coverage of Adobe RGB.

Not much else is known about this display. It does not have a price. It does not have a release date. It does not even have an official announcement date. They do claim to calibrate the monitors before they leave the factory so that is some other information, I guess. It has four USB 3.0 ports and a 6-in-1 card reader.
But I can imagine the biggest omission for our audience is: there is no official announcement about refresh rates. Ian Cutress down at Anandtech assumes, based on the Dell UltraSharp 32" UP3214Q monitor, it will support 60Hz only using two DisplayPort 1.2a connectors in MST; otherwise, 4K will be limited to 30Hz.
I would be surprised if he is not correct.
At 24″ it’s much more
At 24″ it’s much more interesting than the 32″ ones out there today, but until we get proper 60Hz on a single stream, they’re not particularly interesting overall.

idle size for me (not that I’m ready to drop that kind of cash) 30+ inches is just too damn big for my desk 🙂
I’d rather prefer a 40-42″ 4K
I’d rather prefer a 40-42″ 4K curved display so I can get rid of my three 24″ portrait oriented 1200p’s (and the bezels)
Will 4K make a difference on
Will 4K make a difference on such a small screen?
Just wondering if it’ll be worth what it will cost really.
For 3500 bucks, it should be
For 3500 bucks, it should be able to do the dishes and toilets too.

How could you forget the most important thing, making coffee.
Rumor has this one around
Rumor has this one around 1400 USD. Would buy it if it could handle proper 60Hz.
As was explained to me previously, the culprit is lack of some timing circuit that can handle the required speeds, that should go into production around now…
A 16:9 aspect ratio,
A 16:9 aspect ratio, regardless of the resolution, doesn’t seem geared for productivity to me.
There’s an argument that the extra vertical space in a 16:10 isn’t under ‘active use’, of course it isn’t. That’s where the menu bars are. The main event’s in the rest of the monitor and having the menus encroaching into it annoys me when I’m trying to work.
LONG LIVE 16:10!

There is supposedly a Dell
There is supposedly a Dell 27″ 4K 3840×2160 display coming soon as well for under ~$1000 USD. This probably means ~$999 and if the price proves to be accurate then it may be a lower quality display since its less then the 24″ and is IMO more desirable due to the larger size,….but still not too big,….
Something of a goldilocks products (not too hot not too cold but just right),….
Yeah. The Dell 27″ will be 4K
Yeah. The Dell 27" will be 4K and under $1000. It, however, will not be in the UltraSharp line. This typically means "16.7 million colors" instead of 1.07 billion, probably much more limited color gamut (barely 100% sRGB, maybe?), etc.
That makes sense although
That makes sense although Dell also has 3440×1440 21:9 ratio monitor coming up too. You have to wonder what price the will ask for that.
What’s next, a 3733×1600 monitor,…?
Finally. High density 24″
Finally. High density 24″ monitor. I have been waiting a freaking decade for this. Now, if it were only 3D and at least 120Hz…I could buy one, use it once and die happy.
