Starting first with the UltraSharp monitors, there’s quite a bit in this most popular area of Dell’s lineup. Some new models range from the UltraSharp 27 4K USB-C U2720Q, UltraSharp 43 4K U4320Q, and the UltraSharp 27 4K PremierColor UP2720Q.

Much like the other UltraSharp monitors, USB-C is also an option, allowing you to get up to 90 watts of power delivery — the highest power delivery in a 27 inch 4K USB-C monitor.

For something more expensive, there is the UltraSharp 43 4K U4320Q, which is set to go on sale on January 30 for prices starting at $1,049. Unlike, the smaller UltraSharp 27 4K USB-C U2720Q, this monitor is all about the extra size.

Users can also use the monitor to view content from up to four connected devices for the best multitasking experience with its easy-to-use split-screen modes. It also offers USB-C connectivity but sports a color depth of 1.06 billion colors.

Finally, for serious commercial users and content creators, Dell is offering the UltraSharp 27 4K PremierColor UP2720Q. This is a monitor unlike the others, sporting a built-in colorimeter that pops out from below the display. It can be scheduled and tuned to specific color modes.

The monitor also includes Thunderbolt 3 support, 4K resolution, and a high pixel density of 163 ppi. As for the color spectrums, it comes in at 100% of the Adobe RGB spectrum, 98% of the DCI-P3 spectrum, and a color depth of 1.07 billion colors.

Prices will start at $2,000 and availability is set for January 15, 2020.

Next is the Dell 86 4K Interactive Touch Monitor. Falling in line with last year’s Dell 75 4K Interactive Touch Monitor, this is set for release later this year in April. It’s meant to be used in enterprises and businesses, and even education to compete with large panels like the Surface Hub.

It sports a large 85.6-inch 4K panel, with support for up to 20-points of touch. There’s also support for an improved stylus, which can attach to the side of the screen. It also lets users write content on the screen and erase it with the palm of their hands. Improvements in this model vs the Dell 75 is support for USB-C to let users connect up and charge compatible PCs. Dell’s Screen Drop feature is also still here, too.

Some features on this monitor include height adjustability and integrated speakers. It’s also much thinner than previous generations and has better cable management and a smaller footprint. Connectivity is also great, coming with both VGA and HDMI ports.
