I've seen this panel in action on the new iMac 27" Retina, it's expected to be the same panel. You can literally look at a 10cm distance and not see any pixels. It's mind-boggling. You won't need to sit far away from a screen like this.

Looks nice, I wish they made a 30'' version...

Complete pointless.
Anything with a dot pitch greater than .25 is pure pointless complete and utter pointless.
This 5k even 4k is only worth it if your screens bigger than 50 , 60 "
Yet they keep on making them, when will this stupidity end...

BUT PIXELS! Cool display nothing can drive it tho properly but that is a moot point when you got that much money to spend.

This is ridiculous. At this resolution you might as well just buy an empty picture frame and look at reality - you wont be able to tell any difference.
Waste of money! 😀

How is a .25 dot pitch enough for a PC monitor? You stuck in 2006?

we have not got to point where 1x gpu can drive a 4k panel 60fps and now we have 5k. NVidia and Amd have really got to get a move on.

have u seen it yet? if not, please dont post such comment as this.. and dont compare past ...technology evolves... sometime faster than we think

Uh 5K monitors, more specifically this monitor, isn't really made for gaming. It's for video editing. You get native 4K for the content and the additional resolution for the interface of the application you're editing with.

Back in 2006, not even 2 x 8800 Ultra would run that awful game, Crysis, on a 30" monitor with all specs cranked up. It doesn't mean it wasn't a great card, though.
The thing is that on every given generation of games/monitors, it probably doesn't make sense, from a business perspective, to create a single card powerful enough to run everything on maxed settings. Right now, this theoretical card wouldn't sell enough, because there are just not enough people running 4k, or 5k monitors.
Having said that, of course I want nVidia and AMD to move forward as fast as they can but, realistically speaking, there is just no current need for a card more powerful than a 980GTX.

Um what? Sit far away? Unless its over 300 PPI you CAN indeed see pixels. Why would you ever need to sit far away?
Xendance
Why would it be worthless?
tigermoth
Pointless.
Ive been using a 30" dell for 8 years and the size of the dot pitch has been fine.
I see zero reason to increase it yet we see 24" screens with Pixel Pitch of 0.137 mm
That's just stupid and completely unnecessary.
Here is a screen shot of a game with 2560x1600 screen res and I would like to know why anyone feels the need to increase it.

Pls tell me what`s wrong with the detail of this image im interested to here what you have to say
EspHack
just wondering.. what kind of connection currently supports this so called 5k? displayport? and what GPU exactly, current cards state they can handle a maximum of 4096x2160 over dp, is there something Im missing?
btw I wish we the pc master race were blessed with top notch tech like this more often, I mean, there are phones with more resolution than my damn rig wtf?
maybe we need 2 year contracts with our gaming rigs too, seems to do wonders to smartphone tech lol

The monitor has 2 displayport connections in order to run at a 5k resolution, but if you only use one you're limited to UHD.
EspHack
^in that case I guess it will require a special driver to do its magic, haven't heard anything practical coming from this panel yet

Human vision system can detect a misalignment of 2 parallel lines up to two arcseconds in resolution which is equivalent to 1800PPD @ 10 inches. If you want to completely remove aliasing you need to go far above 4K resolution. Obviously there are diminishing returns with image quality, but there is no reason not to shoot for 4K, especially with larger screens.
Also that screenshot is a terrible example of resolution, nearly all the improvements with increased resolution are shown with lines, the entire background is blurred.
pimp_gimp
I haven't either. I just got information from Dell's website as it's already on there.

I was at the Dell briefing center in the UK yesterday. The 34" 4k panel was nice, but even that was hard to see with , the icons were so small you'd have to have your face up against the screen to use it, and the 28" version was just ridiculous for 4k. Lets be honest, Mac's pixel double to account for the high res, you never actually use native 5k on the new 5k imac, Windows display scaling is just not that great. The best monitor by a country mile they had on show was the 3415w, 21:9 3440 x 1440 curved. Its far and away better in my opinion, and suggested pricing was £700 to me, whereas the 4k 34" sits over £2000.
In my humble opinion, to run 100% dpi, native scaling at 4k, you'd need a 40" screen. Otherwise its extra pixels for the sake of it, and slower framerates.

Finally Tri SLI would make sense.
Yup. I really don't get the point of such high resolutions on small sized screens. Maybe photographers use it .. dunno. Windows 10 scales well on Hi DPI screens however.
