Review of the Dell Ultrasharp UP3218 8K Monitor
Dell is no newcomer when it comes to developing technology and this monitor is their way of saying “If you want to make a statement, this is it”. The most powerful monitor display built so far, equipped with the greatest features, also rocking the price of a full power-gaming computer, is here to be reviewed and to set the standard for generations to come, so let us look through what this product has to offer.
Design
Design-wise Dell has knocked it out of the park with this premium product. Sleek is an understatement. The endless display style with the thin bezels is just one of the bells and whistles. The stand is matte, firm, clean, and easy to adjust.
The VESA mount included allows for a great option for multiple monitor setup and the portrait orientation option as well as the outstanding viewing angles make sure you can adjust this high-end monitor to any sort of your liking. A loop through the stand guarantees easy cable management as you would need one or two to make the most out of this beast of a monitor.
Capabilities
We could say that this is the first 8K resolution one out there and be done with it, but let us look through a few more features.
The IPS professional panel of this monitor is by far one of the best on the market. 100% sRGB color gamut, a 100% Adobe RGB one, and 98% of the DCI-P3 colors, this makes for a spectacular professional display for any color task you can think of. Clean immaculate colors follow you through every task day today.
The best pixels you could find. As a 32-inch display, this monitor is a trailblazer for how monitors should be presented to the public and give them the best their money can buy. The depths of the blacks and the whitest of the brights are more than exceptional. Editing videos, preprinting articles, correcting photos, playing games like a maniac on your PC, there is not a single thing this monitor cannot offer you for an all inexperience.
Connectivity
It is not easy to enjoy 33 billion pixels by today’s standards but the UP3218 has its ways of making it happen. With double display ports, you are definitely going to need a powerful graphics card to enjoy this display full force and an audio line-in is also available for all headphone lovers.
Additional Features
This monitor literally bleeds functionality and reliability. With the ComfortView feature, the monitor reduces the strain to your eyes, lowering blue light emissions, which we know, can make for a bad day once we’ve stared too much into the screen.
There are more than a few Display Ports, extra line-out, and connectivity options to go around even for one monitor to serve all your daily professional needs.
What We Liked About the Dell UP3218
- Design. The design of this high-end monitor is just as glorious as its price. Top of the line endless display, sleek and clean, with a borderless look you can enjoy daily.
- Astonishing colors. The color gamut on this monitor is by far one of the, if not the best, on the market today.
- Fantastic orientation and maneuverability of the panel, easily adaptable to your preference activity – coding, gaming, movie, preprint, photo editing, etc.
- Ridiculous gaming compatibility. You would think that a 60Hz 6Ms refresh rate 8K display would not par up to other 32 inch monitors where gaming might be key, but this display can deliver a stunning gaming experience for casual gamers who are not on the competitive scene.
What We Didn’t Like About the Dell UP3218
- Price, price, price. Who would enjoy spending as much on a 32-inch monitor as on a high-end computer build? This product is ahead of its time true, however, there are not many who would consider the purchase over a full PC build which would last them another 5+ years, by which time, these displays would be worth pocket change.
- Even though it can be used for gaming, it is not really a gaming-oriented monitor. Compared to the Asus ROG SWIFT PG27UQ which has Gsync support and can run 144Hz at 4k resolution for less than half the price, one would start to wonder if this monitor, or a more affordable 24-inch monitor, is worth it at this time.
- You really need a powerful graphics card and a double cable connection to it in order to experience 33 megapixels over every 60 frames per second. Considering this, not many builds can run it with ease.
Would I Buy a Dell Monitor?
Yes, I would definitely purchase a Dell monitor if I were looking for a strong foundation of technology, useful features, and a user-friendly integration. Speaking of displays this is as high as you can go on the price tag meter and you should really consider what you are looking for on the monitor market before buying.
The UP3218 is a magnificent display with vibrant colors, which is going to serve you many years into the future, but do not make the mistake of purchasing this product without having the proper hardware to back it up.
Conclusion
More of a top-of-the-line display for professionals than a gaming display, the Dell UP3218 is sure to make an impact in anyone’s life if they decide to invest in such a product.
This is an immaculate monitor with fantastic functions and way ahead of its time because we have reached the point where our computers are not advanced enough to enjoy the full potential of this monitor, unlike when the monitor was too bad to show us what our high-end computer can run. Either way, if you are a member of the PC master race and want bragging rights, this display is the one to go with.
