Dell’s UltraSharp 32 HDR takes on Apple’s ProDisplay with 2,000 mini-LED zones

By

Designed for creative professionals and boasting rich color accuracy, Dell’s new 31.5-inch UltraSharp 32 HDR PremierColor (UP3221Q) display boasts over 2,000 mini-LED backlit dimming zones on its IPS panel to bring deep blacks and bright whites. And priced at $5,000 when it goes on sale on November 5, the UltraSharp 32 HDR goes after the same creative audience that rival Apple is targeting with its ProDisplay XDR. Although both panels share a similar diagonal measurement, Apple’s monitor ships with a higher 6K resolution whereas the UltraSharp comes in at 4K.

The Dell’s 4K, 60Hz panel covers 99.8% of the wide DCI-P3 color space, can reach 1,000 nits of brightness, and supports the VESA DisplayHDR 1000 specification with excellent HDR quality. With Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, you can easily daisy chain two of these panels together for an even larger, more immersive digital canvas. Those who need additional color accuracy can rely on the built-in Calman Powered colorimeter for on-demand calibration.

The best news? Unlike with Apple’s display, you won’t have to pay a $999 premium to get the stand for the UltraSharp.

Dell’s UltraSharp 34 Curved USB-C Hub Monitor comes with a 3,440 x 1,440 resolution screen that covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color space and delivers a more immersive visual experience whether you’re working on Adobe Premiere videos, Photoshop edits, or even large Excel worksheets. The UltraSharp 34 Curved also comes with built-in speakers. There’s a ton of ports, including 2x DisplayPort 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.0, 2x USB Type-C, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-B upstream, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 with charging, 3x USB 3.2 downstream, audio line-out port, and RJ45. It is priced at $1,199 when it ships on December 1.

And if you want to quickly add audio without desktop clutter to an existing Dell monitor, the company now offers a plug-and-play magnetic soundbar that can easily mount to the P-series monitor and the UltraSharp 24. The magnetic mount mechanism allows the monitor to tilt, rotate, and pivot without the soundbar getting in the way. It comes with 3.6-watt speakers, and Dell’s plug-and-play mechanism requires no drivers or software. The Dell Slim Soundbar retails for $55 and is available now.

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams
Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
