It's big, and it's gorgeous! Dave Taylor of http://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ checks out the Dell UltraSharp UP3216Q 4K monitor in all its 32-inch glory and finds it bright, flexible and pretty sweet. Bonus: since it's Mac and Windows compatible, he demonstrates how to have both a Windows PC and a MacBook hooked up to the monitor at the same time, and even explains how there's enough screen real estate to keep a live TV window running simultaneously!

hi Dave Taylor here again and this time
0:07
I'm looking at the del let's get this
0:08
right you p32 16q what's that
0:13
that's this beast this is the dell
0:16
ultrasharp 32 inch 4k monitor this is a
0:20
beautiful monitor now I have it hooked
0:23
up to my XPS 12 which if you've seen my
0:26
other review here's a link turns out to
0:29
be a laptop that's also a hybrid and
0:32
this turns out to work very nicely you
0:36
know you can actually use both these
0:37
monitors as you can see I'm actually
0:39
work on some paperwork here some
0:41
documents and have a soccer game going
0:44
thanks to sling TV and over here I'm
0:47
monitoring what's going on on Twitter
0:48
just in case and I have this screen here
0:51
that I can work with so it's just a
0:54
massive amount of real estate in fact if
0:56
you've looked at things like a full HD
0:58
monitor this has four times the
1:01
resolution of a full HD monitor which
1:03
means it's running at you ready for this
1:06
3840 by 2160 that is a lot of pixels and
1:11
it's really like honestly the best
1:14
monitor or one of the very best monitors
1:16
that Dells ever made and it has all
1:19
sorts of color calibration systems and
1:21
in terms of its color gamut
1:24
it has 99.5% of Adobe's RGB color space
1:28
a hundred percent of the sRGB color
1:31
space and a hundred percent of the rec
1:33
709 color space now I don't know what
1:36
that third one is but it sounds
1:38
important so if you know what it is then
1:39
you're going to look at that monitor and
1:41
say wow that's pretty sweet
1:42
so let's see let me show you four on the
1:45
back here are all the different ways you
1:47
can plug things in this is an HDMI 2.0
1:50
port that is 4k capable with hdcp 2.2
1:54
there's a DisplayPort there's a mini
1:57
DisplayPort there's a 6 in-1 card reader
2:00
there's USB 3.0 plugs
2:02
it's Energy Star its EPG it's TCO
2:05
certified and here's even something more
2:07
cool
2:08
it's made out of 25 percent
2:10
post-consumer recycled plastics
2:13
so Dells really getting the message and
2:15
the screen the glass itself is arsenic
2:19
and mercury free so that's all again you
2:22
know these are all really things that
2:23
these companies are and dul specifically
2:26
is really working to be environmentally
2:29
friendly even as they make these really
2:31
amazing pieces of hardware now all of
2:34
that sounds really cool let me show you
2:35
what else you can do with this right so
2:37
we got it hooked up to our PC let me go
2:40
ahead and let's switch our input sources
2:44
because you're going to say whoa that's
2:46
cool because this is now working with my
2:51
Macintosh so this screen here that's my
2:55
MacBook Pro and if I'm so inclined that
2:58
can move this out of the way and bring
3:01
on board my MacBook Pro and Here I am
3:04
working here and I also have all this
3:06
going on here so I'm running aperture I
3:08
have iTunes here got all this stuff
3:11
going on and obviously the Mac works
3:14
perfectly with this screen and it's
3:16
really wonderful this is just a really
3:18
beautiful monitor and I like that it's
3:21
Mac and PC friendly right out of the box
3:23
and so it gives me so much more screen
3:26
real estate for working on videos for
3:29
working in photographs whatever it is
3:32
you're doing whatever kind of hardware
3:34
you have you can plug this baby in and
3:35
boom you're going to just be wide eyed
3:38
and say how did I ever get by on this
3:40
little screen now having said that it
3:44
does come with a price tag
3:46
so the Dell U P 32 16 Q that's this guy
3:52
has an manufacturer's suggested retail
3:55
price of $17.99 now take a deep breath
4:00
that's how much it is at Dell comm but
4:03
if you go to Amazon and you poke around
4:05
I found it for $12.99 brand-new on
4:08
Amazon which is the substantial savings
4:11
still it's a fair amount of coin that
4:13
might be more than your laptop cost you
4:15
or more than your desktop cost you but
4:17
if you're like me and you need the real
4:20
estate and the color precision it's a
4:23
no-brainer acquisition and it also works
4:26
with Dell
4:27
X right I won display Pro color meter I
4:32
don't come up with these names but this
4:34
is this 250 dollar device that you can
4:37
use to actually you put it on the screen
4:39
and you calibrate the colors on the
4:42
screen to be perfect matches so if you
4:44
are working in a space where it's really
4:46
really important that you are extremely
4:48
precise with your colors this has that
4:51
capability to mostly I just love the
4:54
screen real estate holy cow this is such
4:57
a big beautiful monitor and it's so
4:59
powerful
5:00
that again if I switch back to the PC
5:03
let me do that real quick
5:04
let's see input source and we go to here
5:09
I can go back here and I can actually
5:12
watch TV while I'm working and since I
5:15
am fairly addicted to soccer having this
5:17
this is BN channel having that running
5:20
