Today Dell has announced the UltraSharp 24 Monitor – UP2414Q. This new monitor is, as you will have guessed, a 24-inch panel design and it sports an impressive Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution – that’s four times the resolution as Full HD. Fleshing out its impressive specs the UP2414Q also boasts ultrawide viewing angles, support of a wide colour gamut with great factory tuned accuracy and a good range of ergonomic adjustments.
Resolution and colour
As mentioned in the intro the new UltraSharp UP2414Q offers the Ultra HD resolution of 3840 x2160 pixels within what is precisely described as a 23.8-inch diagonal (185ppi). The 16:9 ratio image refreshes optimally at 60Hz using DisplayPort 1.2 or 30Hz over an HDMI connection with a response time of 8ms grey-to-grey. This LED backlit panel offers wide viewing angles thanks to its in-plane switching construction.
Dell says that the colour accuracy on offer from its antiglare-coated UltraSharp UP2414Q's screen “provides true colour accuracy,” thanks to its PremierColor technology. Also the display, with its 10-bit colour support, is capable of 99 per cent AdobeRGB and 100 per cent sRGB coverage. The monitor is calibrated in the factory to a Delta-E<2 straight from the box. Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution software can be used in conjunction with an optional X-Rite i1 Display Pro colorimeter to refine colour accuracy further and set up custom colour palette profiles.
Ergonomics
Dell caters to your comfort and helps you achieve a comfortable working position thanks to a good range of tilt, swivel and height adjustments being available for the UltraSharp UP2414Q. The stand also has built-in cable management features and is VESA mountable should you wish to use your own monitor stand(s).
