Dell P4317Q Multi Client 4K Ultra HD Monitor

More info on Dell's new P4317Q Ultra HD monitor has surfaced. The display size is so big that Dell calls this a Multi Client monitor, the monitor uses a 42.51” IPS panel, likely an LG Display model.

The panel boasts a 3840 x 2160 (‘4K’ UHD) resolution, with a pixel density of just under 104 PPI. Dell touts the ‘Multi-Client’ capability of the monitor, with PiP and PbP allowing 4 devices to output to the screen simultaneously.

It has a 60Hz refresh rate, 1000:1 static contrast ratio, 10-bit colour output (likely 8-bit + FRC dithering) and 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles. An enhanced phosphor WLED backlight is used to offer excellent sRGB colour space coverage but no support for wide colour gamuts.

An 8ms grey to grey response time is specified. The monitor includes 100 x 100mm and 200 x 200mm VESA holes for alternative mounting. The ports include; DP 1.2, mDP 1.2, 2 HDMI 1.4 ports (with MHL), VGA, 4 USB 3.0 ports (plus upstream), a 3.5mm audio input, 3.5mm audio output and RS232 port. Two 8W speakers are also included, which should provide fairly decent sound output.

The monitor is listed for $1350 / 1050 EURO on Dell’s product page and appears to be intended as a B2B product and may not see the usual wider retail availability.

that "unusable" depends on the user... i still seeing people using GTX5** series, even older one

even say its unusable for you, it still last like 3-4years
as each gpu generation is like 2-3years

by the time you get the last gen card, probably your monitor already failing

Yeah that's why you can resell the video card to someone with different needs before it gets 3-4 years old but it's way harder to sell a monitor, ergo a monitor should last as much as possible. The problem with this new screens is that as soon as we will have a real 4k card we will discard them due to low refresh rate and low response time for better ones, and since I'm quite optimistic I'd say we are 2years away, and since a screen for me should last 4+ years buying a screen now would be a waste. I mean a future proof screen is a 30"+ 144hz 4k IPS with 1ms response time (not really sure on the aspect ratio, I would prefer 16:9 since it's more common for music and work best with content creation programs) with g-sync. Otherwise I will always feel to go a step back from what I have (asus vg248qe 25”)

Wake us up in 3 years when they bring GPU power to run it.

There are plenty of games that run over 60fps at 4K, even when maxed out.
