14 DAY TRIAL // While some companies are shifting between high-end display technologies, Dell continues to go about its business as usual, which includes releasing a new monitor or two every other week. Here are the two latest models.
In truth, Dell hasn't actually released the new monitors. The data available on them can only be found in the Dell User Manual.
This does suggest that the PC and related hardware maker will officially launch the products in the near future, although how near is something we can't really guess.
Dell's official website will probably publish the product pages soon, with or without a PR release accompanying the development.
However, until then, we have to make do with whatever capabilities can be gleamed from the document we linked to above. Fortunately, quite a bit can be inferred.
The Dell P2415Q and P2715Q monitors
The former is a 24-inch panel, although the exact screen diagonal is of 23.8 inches. The latter is a 27-inch screen.
Both have support for 4K technology, specifically 3840 x 2160 pixels. The P2415Q is one of the smallest to feature this quality actually.
They also lack the main problem of the P2815Q that preceded them: low refresh rate. Whereas the 28-inch monitor had to make do with a refresh rate of 30 Hz in 4K mode, the new ones both manage 60 Hz.
Furthermore, instead of TN (twisted nematic) technology, Dell has chosen to use IPS (in-plane switching). While it does leave something to be desired in terms of response time, the color quality has definitely gone up.
The 23.8-inch P2415Q, thus, has a response time of 8 ms G2G (6 ms in G2G fast mode) and a brightness of 300 cd/m2.
Meanwhile, the 27-inch P2715Q, has a response time of 8.6 ms (6 ms in G2G fast mode) and a brightness of 350 cd/m2.
Both panels boast 1000:1 contrast ratio, viewing angles of 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically, 1.07b color depth, and W-LED backlight with 99% sRGB gamut coverage.
Availability and pricing
As we said before, Dell hasn't actually launched these two products. By extension, sales haven't started and the prices are unknown. We don't expect them to cost much more than other screens of their size, 4K premium aside, since their other specs are pretty par for the course: HDMI (via MHL), DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort, and USB 3.0.
