Dell's half price Pro Display XDR is live, even comes with a free stand. I do like HDR, I don't $2500 like HDR.

kellan,

@paul I’m not sure you can really call it HDR at 450nits 🤷‍♂️

@kellan Apple's display has HDR and is $2500 more.

kellan,

@paul oh yah, my quip was about how I’m annoyed that Dell lists this as also being an HDR monitor despite the laughably low nit count, but rereading my reply that’s not terribly clear

numist,

@paul Wait, there's also an 8K version? Holy moly.

paul,
@paul@tapbots.social avatar

@numist that's been around for at least 5 years, not very popular though.

numist,

@paul I'm not sure what I'd do with one at that pixel density—for 8K I'd want more area than 32" diagonal but that probably just means I'm not the target demo.

paul,
@paul@tapbots.social avatar

@numist yeah got to imagine its probably for people editing 8k video, can't really imagine much more use for it. Not much detail on it but there's an upcoming sort of 8k monitor, that also has the wrong pixel density but its at least closer. https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/3/23439399/samsung-8k-ultrawide-odyssey-neo-g9

@paul
Hahaha
4349 CAD $ ???

This is insane exchange rate from an alternate universe. Absolutely insane!

(Today's rate would mean 3372$)

@paul especially not with that hideous forehead 😬

jarilehtinen,

@paul That is one big viewfinder!

@paul I don’t care about the HDR but that is a ver ugly monitor😅

@paul Link is broken for me, maybe country based redirect or so. But according to the CES announcement that thing wasn‘t HDR. Might have a Vesa HDR label, but most of those besides the brightes one and the OLED one aren‘t really requiring the monitor to achieve a HDR image.

beewsee,

@paul looks like it’s designed for enterprise use where a lot of people won’t give a shit about styling

@paul I wish Samsung would follow suit and FINALLY announce their 5k one…

paul,
@paul@tapbots.social avatar

@Heiji well technically they did announce it.

@Heiji@mastodon.social avatar

@paul you call it announcing, I call it previewing😜

@paul It may be 6K, but holy back to the Middle Ages styling, Batman! 😳

Camera specs look feeble too, although megapixels frequently don’t tell the whole story, so 🤷‍♂️

Audio output also looks feeble, for 2.6K + taxes. 😱

@paul I'm so spoiled with higher refresh rates that going back to 60 now would feel bad.

janakj,

@paul @siracusa @caseyliss @marcoarment in case you want to rant^Wdiscuss on this week’s ATP.

Aesthetics aside, the built-in KVM is SUPER INTERESTING. (And the aesthetics don’t really bother me, if the camera is good. But I know it’ll bother you!)

elias,

@paul if only it was less ugly

@paul I wouldn't pay $2500 for anything with that miserable DELL logo. They cant make it small enough.

@paul it does pass my sniff test for a good size and resolution combination, at least? https://cassidyjames.com/dippi/?d=32&w=6144&h=3456&t=d

stefan,

@paul Holy moly. That camera is a dealbreaker for me. I hope they make a version without.

voxmatt,

@paul the hub on this thing looks solid as well... one thunderbolt cable for charging, monitor, ethernet, etc, without a dock... I started drooling but then scrolled back up to that camera bulge and I think I'll hold off for now.

paul,
@paul@tapbots.social avatar

@voxmatt plus pretty sure KVM too

@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@paul No local dimming is unfortunate, but dang it's cool to see another 6K monitor on the market

paul,
@paul@tapbots.social avatar

@christianselig for $2500 I'd just imagine the HDR effect (or buy an OLED or 3).

CliveEisenberg,

@paul *I really don’t like that too bezel!

@wavefront@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@paul That camera! But huh, the peak brightness spec is bad, no FALD that I can see, limited to 60 Hz at native resolution.

@paul yeah, I have a hard time imagining a world where my 32” 4K HDR monitor isn’t good enough for me. But I’m not a pro video editor or whatever, so there’s that
