Dell's 43 Ultra HD 4K Multi-Client Monitor is a huge 4-screen display - gordonbral1986

Many of us have multiple monitors lined up next to each other, bezels packed up against bezels to create the illusion of one giant reveal. You can stop now. Dell's done you nonpareil better with its huge new 43 Ultra HD 4K Multi-Client Monitor.

Dell combines four 1080p screens into one giant, seamless 43-in, 3840 x 2160 (60 Hz) 4K mega-monitor. The kicker is that those screens are truly independent: You can't physically separate each screen into a separate monitor, but you can bagpipe independent inputs through each of them. Alternatively, you can let one input and let information technology fill the smooth screen door, just like the picture-in-picture TV screens some of the States grew up with.

The cost? A bare $1,350.

Wherefore this matters: Sure, Windows 10 already lets you take four windows and tear down them to each of the tetrad corners of the screen. But even if you're not one of the business enterprise traders or software developers for whom Dingle created this display (people WHO may need to run different operating systems or platforms simultaneously), you could conceivably extend to a Mack, Chromebox, or early systems right next to all different, with their outputs sharing the same screen. Yeah, pretty unqualified.

Some interesting specs

Alas, Dell's inputs appear a bit haphazard, as the connectivity options let in one DisplayPort 1.2 port, one miniDisplayPort 1.2 port, a pair of MHL secure HDMI ports, a VGA port, a USB 3.0 (upstream) interface (whew!) as well as a more standard collection of four USB 3.0 ports, audio, headphones and RS232 connectors.

It's likewise not clear whether Keyboard TV Mouse technology is included. Normally, swapping between video inputs on a single monitor would require a KVM switch, which reroutes the signals to and from a 1 keyboard, shiner and monitor to the various sources. Though Dell claims you can switch inputs at the touch of a button, it's non quite clear whether KVM engineering science is enclosed.

Otherwise, Dell's IPS panel boasts 104 pixels per inch, with a 350 cd/m² (emblematic) display luminance. Answer multiplication are 8ms, gray to gray. If this sounds like a setup you'd the like for your future PC battlestation, Dell's site currently says you can have it by tomorrow.
