Best monitor ever

Best monitor ever. Have 2 of these connected to my laptop. One of them unfortunately broke (using since 2017). So got new one. Love it ! Can't imagine it is ruling the monitor world for 5 years now !

Great monitor

Great monitor, nice size and pretty good port selection. I wish there wasn't such a wide bezel but everything is really sharp

Superb Monitor

This UltraSharp 32 8K monitor takes the user experience to a whole new level. I brought it primarily to view/edit digital camera images but the experience of using this monitor in everyday computing activities in unreal. Webpages, spreadsheets, PDFs truly pop off the screen, stunning clarity and these old eyes appreciate everything being a bit larger. Probably not for everyone but if you want the highest level of computing experience this is your monitor.

Dell 8K 32"

Incredible 8K detail - exceeds my expectations Some issues that might be related to my EVGA 3090Ti card or drivers, but nothing too significant.Sometimes the Windows icons will re-arrange with wide spacing, some apps don't handle 8K resolution. I think its more likely the graphics driver than the monitor.

Flimsy electronics

Flimsy construction. It's easy to ruin this monitor by wiping it down with screen cleaner: the liquid runs behind the screen and shorts the wires. Over the years some monitor lines randomly short out even without liquid intrusion.

Makes a fine mirror

The resolution is of course fantastic, the colors brilliant, plus there were no bad pixels over the entire screen, but my only complaint is that the surface makes a good mirror and reflects any light in the room into the users eyes. Use the monitor with lamps behind the monitor and it is then near perfection. Some software, even Windows has some trouble supporting this resolution. I see sections that flash with greatly zoomed content, and then it will settle to the correct size. Some software leaves artifacts on the screen when exiting.

Top notch.

I've had this monitor a number of months now and it's great. Of course the picture is second to none and all videos and pictures in 4K and 8K (8K video is available on Youtube) are razor sharp. I do a lot of photography and some gaming, and setting the video to 8K in games is pretty awesome. Of course photos are the best they can be. Be aware of this though. It requires a strong graphics card to eliminate much of the issues I read about. I have two 1080ti cards and have had NO issues whatsoever. If you're serious about this monitor I'd strongly suggest looking at your graphics set-up first and don't try and run this monitor with cards that will give you difficulty right from the get go. Dell does suggests minimum graphics cards so check with them first.

Pretty amazing.

Just got my 8K monitor and was prepared to spend a little time setting it up. After I plugged things in I started my computer and it lit up right away at the proper resolution and scaling. It absolutely blew me away how easy it was. I have two 1080ti graphics cards and I really believe having the "horsepower" in graphics is a key to having a good experience with high end monitors, so I'd research this aspect before ordering . This monitor is all quality and the picture is of course second to none. With the 32 inch screen it is the last one you will ever need.

It could always be better

Price not the happiest about however for that price I want perfection while I'm not surprised of the issues it has being a newer tech product that is something Im used too its just that I wanted a lot more from my monitor not some meh quickly thrown out there product It seems to me like they rly just wanted to be the first people to have it done and ready for public consumption. best way to describe it would be an average dell move

Incredible, I'm literally living in the future

It's like being in the future, I can't even share screenshots with people because the average display isn't at this level yet so owning this does come with some inclusion. It's being powered by 2 1080Ti Hybrid with the SC2 Trim. Gaming isn't always 60FPS but surprisingly many titles will hover between 50-60, such as ESO, Overwatch, and World of Tanks, but I'm expecting the next generation of Nvidia Ti cards to get me there. I bought this to use alongside my ultra wide, though the drop from 100 Hz is noticeable I grew up playing computer games on a compaq which would overheat playing the Sims so I am not picky.

A stunning view into the future

The 8K display is a brilliant feat of engineering, and definitely "best in show" when it comes to monitors. As an early adopter (I pre-ordered the display in 2017), I was not expecting perfection. However, I was proved wrong: this thing is a beast and also everything I was hoping for, even after a full year of hard use. Worth the money. Works out of the box on Linux with the latest Nvidia drivers (proof: http://www.raellic.net/files/math/foo.png). I want another one so I can rock dual 8K displays on my desktop.

UltraSharp? More like fairly dull.

You cannot cut anything with this supposed "UltraSharp" monitor. However, the display is amazing. I don't know what was making me cry; the last episode of Dawson's Creek displayed in 8k! Or the Onions I was trying so hard to cut. Get it while its on sale for this low low low low low low cost.

Good but I can see the pixels. I recommend 16k

I bought this back in 1987 it was the best of its time but now it feels cheap and I can see the pixels.
