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.

I'd be happy just with g-sync and a better response time. But please leave the 16:9 and don't curve it, people need a big 4k screen that can be use both for gaming, movies and content creation. The extra-large ratio and the curved monitor unless you like to watch movie alone in the perfect center of the screen are completely useless in my opinion.

Clearly a matter of preference, however I do agree that having a curved monitor for example in an office is unnecessary.
However at home, id love that being the only user of the given monitor.
Perhaps two models can be an idea solution, add a tad bit higher refresh rate on top of it, and its very attractive.
However we shall see whats future holds for us as we have some new tech around the corner.

I would be happy with even just g-sync. Jizz would be all over it while playing Witcher 3...
We need better GPUs however, one 1080 is not nearly enough. Maybe two, but even then there is still a LOT room for improvement in 4K performance.

I totally agree, 2 models would be better for a market point of view

Hell, 42.5inch! Now this is impressive, besides I think this is more or less a sweetspot resultuon for 2160p. Add a gsync and a curve to it and it would be amazing for high end desktop. Would need two 1080's to run it thou.
