Part of Dell's weekly special, for those who want a 24" 4k monitor, i myself find it too small.
Good deal for a 4k IPS monitor
Completely agree with you, its more for the ePeen…
"my monitor can show more pixels then yours"
Depends on what you want. What I'd want is an effective 1920x1080, which this monitor would be good for. This is how Retina displays work on Macs. OTOH, I find 24-inch way too big to show 1920x1080. I'd love a smaller 4K in that regard. I want it most of the time for the sharpness, not size of the canvas, but on the odd occasion can drive it higher than 1920x1080 and still retain a good level of sharpness.
If you don't have room for a bigger monitor I think it'd be worth looking at. I've got a 28" 4k monitor (one of those Samsungs that get posted all the time) and image quality is stellar but the pixel density still isn't quite perfect. 24" would be a tiny smidge closer.
If your goal is pixel density above all else, then yeah this makes sense. Plus, if you want a higher resolution than 1080p but don't want a bigger monitor, then this is one of your only choices. 1440p at 24" is pretty rare - I can recall only two models with this, and I don't think either of them have been released yet.
yeah.. would look nice and sharp but my eyes are probably getting too old to appreciate it. Would be much better off with a 27" or 32" monitor for 4K.
Doubt you could even tell the difference on a screen that small. Why did they even make this? Pass.
Tell the difference between what?? 1080p vs 4K ?? I sit about 60cm from a 1080p 23 inch screen and its very easy to see the individual pixels.
What about between 2560 x 1440 and 4k? Just saying unless you're doing professional touch up work in Photoshop I think 4k is wasted on 24" screen.
It all comes down to your eyesight, distance from screen and size of monitor. So whilst one person may notice no difference, others will see a marked difference even between 2560x1440 and 4K.
about 60cm from a 1080p 23 inch screen and its very easy to see the individual pixels.
Exactly. On low dpi monitors, small fonts (particularly, italicized) look pathetic. Some people can't see this because they can't see.
Doubters should go to Apple shop and have a look at 5K 28" iMac - if you can't see the difference, then you can't appreciate 4K monitors (and do yourself a favour, get glasses).
Whingers were similarly denying need for "Retina" display in new iPad3, then when saw it render fonts, it was like, heck this is best thing ever. Me, my Air 2 (which I use only for reading) needs even higher dpi - I'm tired of looking at staircase italics.
So my comment gets negged even though I'm saying the same thing as the first comment which has 5 up votes.?? That's logical.
Scratch that… I meant emotional.
Whatever.
World starvation, crimes, murders and illness of all sorts, and you're concerned about a neg?
I don't care about the neg.
It just didn't make sense to me that two comments saying essentially the same thing, one gets up voted while the other gets negged. So I guess I was questioning the consistency of people's votes.
Oh, and we should't really be comparing anything we are doing here with world starvation, crimes, murders and illness when we're all on Ozbargain looking for a few bucks off on a 4k monitor, now should we. :)
I'm with you.. all i was saying is don;t worry about it too much.
I have seen some unwarranted negs here.
You get all sorts,it aint worth the hassle.
Yeah… but you're not me. hahaha
I know right. Obviously got the rough end of the stick today.
For the record, it wasn't me who negged you, I was just asking you for more details and then presenting my own view. I rarely neg anyone unless its really warranted as I prefer discussion.
does any of these 4K monitors have speakers and affordable?
For Mac users considering a 4K display, check that your Mac supports the resolution (and at meaningful frame rate) first. And if you're like me wanting to run it as a "retina" class display rather than blindly (literally) running dot for dot in its native resolution, this is a good calculator for comparing effective DPI:
eg
21.5" iMac with 1920x1080 is 102.46dpi
this 24" 4K Dell with an effective 1920x1080 is 91.79dpi
13.3" MacBook Pro with Retina display with an effective 1280x800 (from 2560x1600) is 113.49dpi
15.4" MacBook Pro with Retina display with an effective 1440x900 (from 2880x1800) is 110.27dpi
My older Mac mini won't do 4K, so I'd consider this larger but lower resolution display:
25" Dell U2515H with 2560x1400 is 117.49dpi
13.3" MacBook Pro with Retina display with an effective 1280x800 (from 2560x1600) is 113.49dpi
This isn't correct - raster graphics (including legacy window chrome and non-high dpi apps) are at 113.49, vector graphics (including fonts and high dpi apps) are at 226.98.
It's 113.49 dpi for the effective resolution. But of course with HiDPI it's better, which is the whole point of Retina!
the stand has full adjustability in every dimension i can think of, have it and love it + looks good and matches my workspace in terms of color matching - the imac stand is even more elegant but doesnt offer fuill adjustability, this one i can literally use one finger to push it up and down
Dell monitors have in the main always have very practical stands. Often Apple gear is beautiful, elegant, and a touch frustrating. My favourite beef - the SD card reader is on the back of the Mac mini.
also be warned that the imac has a glossy display which may not be ideal for other people
I love the glossy screens on the cinema displays, doesn't soften and retard images.
Just bought.
Was going to post the deal but came up as a DUP of this one
When you consider the U2415 is $499. An extra $11 is a well worth it
Does it even make any sense to buy a 4K monitor under 30"? I honestly have no idea but at a guess, I reckon you're better off buying a 27" 2560 x 1440 instead.
