Dell Debuts SE2716H Monitor With Curved VA Screen

Samsung has been aiming to make more monitors of different sizes with a slight curve in the screen. This design is to help the viewing experience feel a bit more natural and comfortable by decreasing the distance between the edges of the screen and your eyes. The Dell SE2716H follows the same style of monitor as the Samsung S27E510C by featuring a similar curved Vertical Alignment (VA) panel. The bezel is 7.7mm, using the 2-stage design encompassing a slim, hard outer bezel and a pretty thin panel border. The shape of the stand also accommodates the slight curve of the monitor.

The panel is believed to be a 60Hz 27" Samsung curved MVA (Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment) panel with 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution. This is different since Dell's been using its LG Display panels on a lot of its recent models. A typical brightness of 300 cd/m² is specified with a 3000:1 static contrast ratio and 178/178° specified viewing angles. If we're correct about what panel is being used, the screen surface is medium matte anti-glare whilst true 8-bit color is supported without dithering.

A WLED backlight is used which offers sRGB coverage. A 6ms grey to grey response time is specified using the 'Fast' response time setting, with a 'Normal' option also available with more grey to grey acceleration. The monitor includes ports for 2 HDMI (with MHL) VGA, 3.5mm headphone jack and 3.5mm audio input. There are also two 9W down-firing speakers, which are pretty powerful for integrated monitor speakers as they produce a richer, better quality sound than most integrated solutions. The stand that is included offers tilt as the only ergonomic adjustment option and there are no VESA holes.

There's still no details on price or availability for the UK. So take a look at Dell's sites, if you're interested and are looking for a new, all around better monitor.

What Exatly Is 4K?

The display technology world has been getting all the better ever since the world saw its first CRT color television display. But nowadays, in a world with LCD, OLED, Plasma, and even DLP technology, we the consumers are begged the question: what does this mean to me and my monitor or television set?

Well, first of all, you might have noticed that 4K TVs aren't just popping up here and there. Companies like LG, Sharp, Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony are jumping all over the 4K technology as part of their press conferences. Not to mention even PC monitor manufacturers are just as quick to jump on the bandwagon.

With all of this chatter about how great 4K TV resolution is, you might want to read on to find out exactly what this means, especially when you look at the price tag that comes attached with the "4K" name.

I know what you're thinking, "how did we jump from 1080 to 4,000-pixel resolution?"

Well, a lot of this confusion is caused by the change in terminology. TVs were formerly referred to by their vertical dimension before 4K came along. Resolutions that came to be classified as 4K or higher (5K-8K) are referred to by their horizontal dimension.

But the gimmick in the terminology doesn't stop there. In fact, most TVs nowadays that are being advertised as 4K are only 3840x2160!

But back to the original question, no we didn't jump from 1080 pixel resolution to 4000, the screen size changed from 1080 to 2160 across the vertical dimension, and from 1920 pixels to 3840 or greater across the horizontal dimension.

Now that you know what 4K is, you can just go out and pick your display or monitor right? WRONG. Before you decide whether you want to spend that extra buck, make sure it's even going to make a difference. Don't forget, you must take into account the distance you are from the television, and what means you're going to use your TV. Otherwise, you might end up spending a pretty penny on a TV that isn't going to make much of a difference to you or any event-goers.
