Dell's new 30-inch monitor features 16:10 aspect ratio

Dell has just released a new 30-inch display, which has a 16:10 aspect ratio that is aimed towards professionals and content creators.

The new UltraSharp UP3017 has a 30-inch IPS-based panel with 1.07 billion colors, covering 99% of the Adobe RGB, sRGB, and DCI-P3 color spaces. Video editors will have a sparkle in their eye seeing the sRGB and DCI-P3 support, with the DCI-P3 color space very important in digital movie projection throughout the US movie industry, on more and more Apple devices, and will eventually be rolled out into TVs and home cinemas.

Specs wise, we have the older 2560x1600 resolution (up from the usual 16:9 displays with 2560x1440), a 60Hz refresh rate, 1000:1 static contrast, 350 nits of typical brightness, W-LED backlighting, and 178-degree viewing angles. The UP3017 also rocks a 4-port USB 3.0 hub, with 1 x DP 1.2, 1 x mDP 1.2, 1 x DP 1.2 (out) with MST, and 2 x HDMI 1.4 ports for display connectivity.

Dell's new UltraSharp UP3017 is available right now from Dell for $1249.99.
