 This video from CES 2017 is brought to you by FreshBooks the number one cloud-based accounting solution for freelancers How long have I been asking this question? Why is it that we can have these super high pixel density display? Okay, so Apple's maybe not the best example at the iPhone 7 but but these super high pixel density displays I mean this is a 2560 by 1440 display in my pocket and for some reason it never occurred to any genius To take a bunch of these and build like, you know, an 8k display the size of a PC Well, we can stop asking that question because the geniuses at Dell have bestowed upon us the UP3218K This my friends is the world's first 8k monitor that will be going to production Sometime this year. It is a real product and it can be yours for a mere $5,000 But if the price tag was going to be a concern for you quite frankly there were going to be other bigger issues anyway So number one is the actual reason why nobody's ever done this and that's that we didn't have a display interface Technology that would be capable of driving 33 million pixels Anyway, what were you gonna do hook up eight HDMI 1.4? I mean that's that's just stupid even now You're gonna need one of Nvidia's latest quadro GPUs a P 3000 4000 or P 6000 in order to drive it because it requires two display port 1.3 Inputs in order to achieve this level of visual bliss and when I say visual bliss There's a there's a demo one here that I want to find here I mean everything everything looks beautiful we can talk about color and all that later But look at this look at all these clocks. I mean, how many clocks is this? It's like sort of 1010. So it looks like probably about 60 by 40 so this would be around 2400 clocks 2500 clock something like that means it's ridiculous. You can actually see the minute markings on them But of course getting back to the whole image quality thing the UP in the product name stands for ultra sharp premier Which means that it's not just about the quantity of pixels, but also the quality So they've got full coverage of Adobe sRGB They're saying at or near full coverage of Adobe RGB as well as DCI P 3 and also about 80% coverage of Rec 2020 it's a 10-bit panel and the LUT is actually writable So depending on what kind of a workflow you've got Maybe you've got a large team of people that are working on some kind of a special project a film whatever the case may be You can actually program the monitors themselves for the kind of color space you want to use and then you can move them around from Workstation to workstation without worrying that anyone is looking at anything that is anything but perfect now with that said Most people aren't going to need to do that because every single one comes pre calibrated with a certificate from the factory But let's say for example you work with print you can calibrate every monitor in your shop to match perfectly your printer your camera and even the type of paper that you are printing on and they've made the process easier with the X-rite i1 Pro colorimeter which automatically fills in some of the Fields that would normally need to be done manually to calibrate a display So is this thing exciting? Absolutely, is it completely out of reach for consumers for now? I mean given we might not even get a GPU from Nvidia or AMD with DP 1.3 on the consumer level this year Absolutely, but that's not going to stop me from geeking out about it because it looks absolutely stunning So thanks to you guys for watching subscribe So you don't miss any of our content and a huge shout out to fresh books for allowing us to be here at CES 2017 If you're not familiar with fresh books It is the cloud-based accounting solution for freelancers small business owners Anyone who doesn't want to like hire a full-time accountant or can't hire a full-time accountant Maybe isn't a numbers person But is running a freaking awesome business where they're making money and they need to be able to send out professional invoices Quickly they need to be able to track their expenses track their hours and do it without Wasting a whole bunch of time at the end of the day when you're already tired from teaching dance lessons or small-time Computer repair or whatever the case may be so check them out at the link in the video description Fun tidbit for those of you who waited around till after the outro if you were wondering about the line through the middle Not only is it not available yet.
