Dell UP3214Q: цены характеристики фото где купить

Conclusion

«THE DELL ULTRASHARP 32 UP3214Q IS AWESOME»In a single monitor configuration, the Dell Ultrasharp 32 UP3214Q ($3499.99) is awesome – but it is certainly not cheap. Mac OS users will tend to have a better experience, but Windows users will have a completely usable and productive setup as well. If you read about the various corner cases that I have mentioned above, you can prepare yourself and benefit from an optimum user experience.

There are obviously smaller and less expensive 4K monitors on the market, and we will review those in time, but this model has several strengths that can’t be ignored. First, it is big and that allows you to use it with no scaling and multiply your Desktop surface area by 4. Secondly, the out of the box color quality is excellent and most of you won’t need to go through a calibration process. Those who need to certainly can.

Finally, it is a well-built, well thought out design which has plenty of connectivity and is VESA-mountable, which is not the case for lower-priced options. If you have additional questions, or if there is something that i have not covered, please leave a comment and I will try to address it ASAP while I still have the monitor around. I hope that this review has given you all the information you need to make an informed decision

Dell UP3214Q: Design & Features

Before we get any further into this review, it’s worth clearing up a common misconception. Like many of the new 4K monitors on the market now, the Dell UP3214Q is described in some circles as an IGZO panel display, but this isn’t entirely accurate. IGZO isn’t, technically, a type of panel. The UP3214Q uses an IPS panel, but has an IGZO backplane.

IGZO, primarily, makes it easier to manufacturer high density/high-resolution LCDs and uses less power than the alternative (amorphous Silicon), which is why it’s been talked about so much in reference to iPads, iPhones and anything with a small, high-resolution screen where such qualities are valued most.

Now we’ve cleared that up, a closer look at the specs for the Dell UP3214Q reveals it shares most of its DNA with its 24-inch cousin. It has a single HDMI 1.4 connection, Mini DisplayPort and DisplayPort 1.2 connections for video, four USB 3.0 ports and a memory card reader. All pretty standard fare, though it still lacks HDMI 2.0. This means you’re limited to 30Hz over HDMI, making use of the DisplayPort is a must to our minds. It’s worth noting one of the USB ports supports battery charging, too.

Looking to the stand, the Dell UP3214Q lacks pivot so can’t be used in portrait mode, but using a monitor this large in portrair is a recipe for a sore neck so that’s no great loss. There’s a good level of height and tilt adjustment, however, and pivot is built into the stand.

The UP3214Q is a good-looking monitor, too. Dell’s styling for its professional monitors has just the right balance of elegance and restraint that doesn’t veer into something boring and ugly. When you’re using a monitor as large as this you don’t want it to be an eye-sore.

Settings (easy)

In general, you don’t really need to go into the settings, but fortunately, the user interface is quite responsive and easy to navigate if you have to. I like the responsiveness because I have seen so many monitors with a 1-second lag each time to touch something that it gets really frustrating to deal with them. Fortunately, that’s definitely not the case here. My favorite feature is the level at the upper-right which shows you how much energy you are using. This is mainly a function of the brightness, but I found that it was pretty fun to have.

Instead of describing everything, I have compiled a photo gallery for those who are really curious about what’s in the menus – enjoy (^^):

Industrial design

The Dell UP3214Q monitor is a little wider than my old 3007WFP, but overall it feels almost the same. The difference is perceptible, but not enough to change most of my habits. As you can see later, I had to make some small changes, but that’s it. Since I have chosen to use this 4K screen without scaling the content (more on that later), I have moved it 4-inches closer to me to compensate for the size reduction of the icons and other user-interface (UI) elements. As it stand, my eyes are about 18 inches away from the monitor’s surface.

The front of the monitor looks pretty plain, and Dell didn’t go for a “luxurious” design or something like that. Instead, I think that its design team wanted the monitor to disappear or take a backseat. The bezels are nearly 1-inch thick, which is not the thinnest out there, but this is largely compensated and justified by the overall performance of the LCD panel. Dell has used matte black plastic in the front to avoid having distracting reflections that would have come from a “piano black” design. I think that it’s a good thing.

On the lower-right, you will find the typical Power button, which “clicks” sharply – I really like that. There are a series of 5 control buttons to navigate the monitor internal menu system: They let you select between 5 menu items, and perform action like Enter, Confirm, etc… it’s very intuitive and I did not have any trouble with that at all.

The sides of the monitor are lined with 1mm of aluminum which looks pretty neat, and possibly help dissipate the heat at the top. You can feel how warm the monitor gets at the top, but the aluminum quickly cools as you get to the sides. There are air vents everywhere and although I have not cracked it open, the cooling system looks well designed.

The monitor has plenty of inputs: 1 full-size DisplayPort, 1 mini-DisplayPort, 1 HDMI. The monitor is also a USB 3.0 HUB with 4 ports (one is in the back for a super-easy access). On the side, there is also an SD card reader, which can come in handy if you forgot the microUSB cable of your camera. Finally, there is also Kensington anti-theft connector in case you don’t want anyone running away with this beauty.

The Dell UP3214Q has no external power supply and you will connect a cable directly from the electric outlet to the monitor. This makes cable management cleaner, but this is also why the monitor is a little bigger than those with an external power source. Honestly, I’m not shopping for thinness when I buy a desktop monitor. If you do, take a closer look at the specs.

The monitor stand is surprisingly light and has a flat bottom (which takes less surface area and you can put stuff on). Dell can do this because the monitor’s center of gravity stays in one place and can me moved forward or backward, so all the weight goes straight down.

As usual, there’s a hole in the stand to allow cables to go through. The monitor just “clips” on the stand and can be released at any time by a button in the back of the screen. This makes it super easy to pack or move the monitor if you need to. Finally, the monitor is VESA compatible and I have actually used it with an arm as you can see on some photos.

What is the Dell UP3214Q?

A few weeks ago now we had the pleasure of reviewing Dell’s 24-inch 4K monitor, the UP2414Q. At 24 inches some may consider it a bit small for 4K work, but its irresistible circa-£870 asking price and outstanding accuracy were enough for us to recommend it. Now we have the company’s larger 4K monitor, the Dell UP3214Q. It promises similar levels of accuracy but in a much larger, more 4K-friendly frame.

It’s also, unsurprisingly, considerably more expensive, and will leave you with little change left from £2,000. For that you get a monitor that promises professional grade calibration out of the box, 99 per cent Adobe RGB colour coverage and 100 per cent of sRGB. And while it costs a lot, it’s still a clear £400 or so less than the next cheapest 32-inch 4K from Asus, so Dell looks like it still offers good value for money.

Image quality / colors

The colors look very natural. Here a slight red tint on the right was introduced by the camera.

The good thing with a high-end monitors like this is that it comes with great settings out of the box. That’s also true for a lot of high-end IPS displays on mobile and tablets, although I think that workstation monitors manufacturers don’t overdo the color saturation when compared to handset makers. Dell uses a set of industry standard settings called PremierColor which that means Dell will pre-calibrate the screen at manufacturing time.

«IT COMES WITH GREAT SETTINGS OUT OF THE BOX»In any case, as you as I turned it on, I noticed things like “white” is actually white and not yellow-ish or blue-ish. We have 8 monitors of various brands and prices in the office, and I have  seen my share of monitors in various tradeshows and other settings, so I have a pretty decent sense for what’s good and what’s not. The Dell UltraSharp 32 UP3214Q colors look great.

The second thing that I did was to go outside and snap some photos and see how the colors looked on the monitor. Obviously, this is not the most scientific way for checking colors and if you want to, it’s possible to use a colorimeter and Dell’s calibration software (provided in the box), but I have to admit that I don’t do anything that require this level of accuracy on a professional level.

Looking at the monitor from a shallow angle, the colors will not shift to a different hue, but they will lose brightness at extreme angle. I suspect that it won’t matter much to most people, but if someone is standing next to your desk, they may see an image which is slightly dimmer than you would when looking straight on.

Dell also points out that if you press against the screen with your finger, the LCD panel is not going to create big “ripples” and that’s true. Cheaper monitors tend to be affected by pressure on the display. I don’t think that this is a critical commercial advantage, but I thought that I would mention it.

Important note to use a 60Hz refresh rate

If you are going to get this monitor, there are a few things that you should be mindful of if you want to have the best user experience.

When I first turned it on, I immediately noticed a drop in framerate in the general Windows user interface from 60+ FPS (what I expect) down to 30FPS or so (what I got). Even the Windows Modern Design interface was noticeably slow and that was weird because even on low-end systems, it’s always running at 60FPS. Having working as a video games programmer for years, it is just something that I can spot easily.

First, I thought that there was a some kind of graphics card driver issue with my NVIDIA GTX 760, so I installed a “hotfix” driver which was publicly available. It didn’t really get significantly better, so after talking to the NVIDIA support, I noticed that the panel was running at 30FPS at maximum resolution. the NVIDIA support folks pointed out that it can run at 60FPS when connected with DisplayPort 1.2. If you connect over HDMI, 30Hz is the maximum that you can get.

And just like that, I realized that DisplayPort 1.2 was disabled by default, and that was capping the refresh rate to 30Hz instead of 60Hz. Enabling it fixed it for me, and right after that everything in Windows went back to a super-smooth 60FPS. If you have a fast graphics card, don’t assume that things are slowing down because there are more pixels. Modern GPUs can easily handle 4K in 2D operations.

To enable DisplayPort 1.2: on the monitor go to Menu > Display Settings > DisplayPort 1.2

Gaming

In general, I would not consider this monitor to be a “Gaming” monitor because the 12-bit color quality etc seem a little bit “overkill” to play games with color-compressed textures. It’s more likely that someone who wants 4K to get more pixels would opt for a 28″ 4K monitor instead. In any case, if you want to play games, you have to make sure that the Game Mode in the presets (Menu>Preset Modes) is enabled or you will bump into lag issues (up to 20ms or so).

As a former game developer, I’m skeptical that current games are much better in 4K versus 2560×1600 for example (and even then…).  The main reason for that is that super-high resolution textures are extremely expensive to design and produce and most games are really targeted to lower display specifications.  When playing on a hiDPI monitor, the graphics card will magnify and interpolate texture data which will result in a more or less fancy blur – but blur nonetheless.

Admittedly, you are still getting super-thin polygonal details, but overall the loss in framerate is not worth the gain in edge resolution – at least, for me.

Dell UP3214Q 31.5” UHD Monitor, The Ultimate Pro Tool?

There’s no question that 3840×2160 is the hot resolution in display technology right now. Gone are the days when computer monitors and televisions followed separate development paths. It was barely two years ago that Sony showed us the first-ever production 4K television (an 84-inch panel selling for a cool $25,000, a price that still stands incidentally). It was only a matter of time before computer users began demanding that same experience on the desktop. We waited patiently. And as we saw already from stories like , the first-generation panels are here. Slowly but surely, their wrinkles are being smoothed out, too.

At least thus far, the first screens in our lab are all 31.5-inch IGZO-based panels with a pixel density of 140 ppi and a recommended price of $3500. While they employ panels from Sharp, they do use different part numbers. Witness Dell’s UP3214Q, which not only introduces Ultra HD to the company’s display portfolio, but also brings in the wider Adobe RGB 1998 color gamut.

Asus’ PQ321Q () proved to be very accurate in our tests, and was easily worth recommending for a professional’s toolbox. It is missing one key element, though: the Adobe RGB gamut. The difference comes from the panel each company uses. Asus leverages a Sharp-manufactured LD315R3LC1, while Dell goes with the LQ315D1LG9D. Both are IPS, rated at 350 cd/m2 brightness, and have native 10-bit color. The only difference is the gamut. Check out the specs below.

You can see from the average response time that this is not an ideal display for gaming. Our own Filippo L. Scognamiglio’s helped illustrate the effects of that average response rating, and my tests bear this out as well. None of the first-generation panels have fast response, nor do they support a high refresh rate. Even if they did, the currently-available scaling hardware doesn’t support rates over 60 Hz. As it is, two scalers are needed to utilize the multi-stream feature of DisplayPort 1.2. The bandwidth is there in DisplayPort 1.2 and the forthcoming 1.3, as well as HDMI 2.0. But other components will have to be updated to process all of those pixels.

Neither Dell nor Asus is marketing their 4K displays to gamers. These are tools for photographers, artists, and programmers, pure and simple. To that end, accurate color, a sharp image, and solid build quality are the name of the game, rather than speed. Asus already sells a particularly accurate display, and Dell ups the ante with wide gamut support and a huge array of customization options. Not only can you choose between eight color modes, but there’s also a color management system, high and low RGB sliders, and factory-calibrated presets for both Adobe RGB and sRGB.

Dell UP3214Q: Setup

Dell continues to set the standard for ease of assembly and setup. Despite its size and weight (the panel alone weighs 9.2kg), it’s incredibly easy to clip the monitor into the pre-assembled stand and arm. Likewise, you can detach the monitor from the arm without any tools.

Dell’s OSD and controls are perfect, too. The context sensitive touch buttons along the right edge are very responsive, and the OSD always makes how to get what you want clear. The menus, meanwhile, are logically organised and include all the options you could possibly need.

Like Dell’s 24-inch 4K monitor, those options include factory calibrated presets for sRGB and Adobe RGB, the option for two further saved ‘calibrated’ presets of your choosing and the ability to choose between any colour temperature level you desire.
