Dell has announced four new additions to its Ultrasharp series of monitors. Three of the monitors are tagged as “PremierColor” displays, said to offer “outstanding colour accuracy, precision and performance”. In addition the firm has released a new Ultrasharp monitor that is an ultra-wide, with a ratio of 21:9 which is designed to facilitate “productive multi-tasking”.

Dell UltraSharp U3014 30-inch Monitor with PremierColor. USD$1499.

This is Dell’s largest screen to date. This monitor has a 16:10 aspect ratio and resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. Dell says the monitor is ideal for “the fine level of detail required for colour-critical work such as CAD/CAM, graphic design, desktop publishing, gaming or media creation.” This 30-incher is a Premiercolor monitor and therefore has “outstanding” colour range and accuracy.

Dell UltraSharp U2713H 27-inch and U2413 24-inch Monitors with PremierColor. USD$999 and US$599 respectively.

The Dell UltraSharp U2713H is a 27-inch monitor with a 2560 x 1440 resolution display. The Dell Ultrasharp U2413 is a 24-inch monitor with a 1920 x 1200 resolution display. Both these Premiercolor displays offer excellent colour accuracy and range and come “factory colour calibrated to support 99% AdobeRGB which enables brilliant and accurate colour hues and saturation.” In addition they both offer great connectivity options including USB 3.0, DisplayPort 1.2, mini-DisplayPort, DVI-DL (HDCP) and HDMI.

Dell UltraSharp U2913WM 29-inch Ultra-wide Monitor

The Dell UltraSharp U2913WM offers a panoramic 29-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1080 pixels. Though it is not in the PremierColor stable it nonetheless supports “more than 99 percent sRGB color space at a delta-E of less than 5”. Dell says this is a great alternative to dual-monitors.

Dell also announced a new single monitor arm and dual monitor stand in the press release. Concerning the pricing and availability of the newly announced monitors; the U3014 is “coming soon worldwide”, the U2713H & U2413 are “currently available”. However there was no word about the U2913WM which seems to be only available to larger businesses from the Dell US source page.

my brother have Dell UltraSharp U2413 24-inch Monitors with PremierColor really worth the money
the best monitor i saw
I'd like a 24“ monitor with a 2560x1440 resolution. That 21:9 display 29” display is quite low resolution for its size.
Agree with Sykobee - been waiting for 24" with higher than 1920x1200 - that would be great.
Ye gods and green things. 30“ and 0nly 1600 vertical pixels? What is this, 1999?

There are 10” tablets with that many vertical pixels. I hope this thing sells for a couple of hundred quid.
Well, Windows still doesn't scale fonts properly (maybe Metro apps will be stricter…), so 24“ with 1440P would look tiny. My eyes certainly would quickly get tired. Also, I though I read somewhere that the higher res screens are not as bright for a given backlight intensity so they require brigher light, i.e. consume more power. My monitor is an old NEC 2170NX which is S-PVA so the colours, viewing angles and text are fine but for a 21” monitor is pulls ~70W. A 42" LED backlit TV pulls less than that so power consumption would be a major factor when I upgrade my monitor.
