Dell UltraSharp 32: a 32-inch Ultra HD display set to arrive in Q4
Well, this one should bring a nice smile on your face. Dell took the opportunity to unleash one such display during the proceedings at SIGGRAPH this week. The UltraSharp 32 is a 32-inch Ultra HD unit that wields a 3,840 x 2,160 IGZO panel sorting 1.07 billion colors. An aluminum stand has replaced the plastic-draped one from previous models, but the same height adjustments reside around back.
The UltraSharp 32 also houses both full and mini display ports (with the requisite cable included), HDMI jack, a built-in USB hub and an SD card reader along the left side. We had a chance to take a quick peek at the device and we can confirm the image quality -- especially when it comes to handling rich blacks. We also enjoyed gazing upon a matte finish rather than a glossy surface and we're told Dell has actually made some tweaks there to reduce any grainy results that may creep in. There's no word on pricing just yet, but the display is set to arrive during the fourth quarter of this year. A smattering of images from our brief eyes-on session await in the gallery.

Hmm, nice. Dell announced their very first 1920x1200 display based on IPS or in-plane-switching technology today. It

Well, unless someone's delusional or doing blind reading, no one could had thought otherwise.
Some Key words were: gaming, Titans, SLI's, eye candy, acceptable FPS, companies like Relic, 4K gaming and last but not least, gamers.
lol! jk btw.

4k is an easy task even for series 5000 amd's and nvidia's 400, correct me if im wrong but those cards can handle 3-6 monitors at 1600p each, doesnt make sense to be all freaky about this "4k" marketing bs imho, and considering how even a phone can handle 1080p games now and tablets doing 1600p im wondering where are the 8k monitors that are going to set the high end desktop territory leaving 4k for the mainstream, like 1600p did leaving the mainstream with 1080p

Have to agree mostly. I ran my 1600p display with a single 5870 for years, in the most demanding games I'd just turn down the advanced settings a bit. AA is punishing, but personally at these high resolutions I don't find AA vastly important.
The main advantage of these monitors is desktop real estate anyway.

Errr well no, it took 4 Titans to get several of the newer games running at 4K at Vhigh settings (barely maintaining 60FPS - this was an Anandtech test on another 4K monitor, it was linked on G3D in another thread) and people who buy kit like that aren't people who are going to want to be having to turn the detail down.
It's just not realistic to think a 5870 or a 4xx Nvidia card is going to drive newer games at Vhigh detail settings on a 4K monitor (from a VRAM perspective alone, they just won't cut it). Those cards won't even drive a ZR30W effectively at vhigh settings in newer games (and even some older ones).
I agree, you can probably game on a 4K monitor with those cards if you are willing to sacrifice a lot of eye candy but as I have enough trouble getting a constant 60FPS in certain games at 1600P, I'd have to strongly disagree with you and ESPHack when it comes to enthusiast level gaming (vhigh settings, AA etc).
Unless you are playing Rebel Assault of course

I do agree on the real estate angle which is why I will probably get one at some point but I'd like to see some more options first (especially HP's offering).

Yah, very important to clarify that I was talking about gaming and not other applications, it definitely does have immediate advantages, such as much more screen real estate etc.
Cheers
