After Samsung announced a compelling alternative to Apple’s Studio Display yesterday, Dell is out with the details on its new monitor that’s got many of the same features of Apple’s Pro Display XDR and goes beyond it with a number of specs.
Dell says its 32-inch 6K UltraSharp Monitor is the first in the world to arrive with IPS Black technology. That’s touted as delivering advanced contrast with up to 41% deeper blacks, better color accuracy, and more.
Features that stand out when comparing this new monitor to Apple’s Studio Display or Pro Display XDR include Thunderbolt 4 connectivity that comes with a built-in I/O hub, 140W passthrough charging for MacBooks (enough to fast charge the 16-inch MacBook Pro) and other laptops, integrated 4K webcam, and even a hidden front-facing pop-out USB-A/C hub.
