Dell has unveiled a lineup of new monitors today at CES. Headlining the new products is the 32-inch 6K UltraSharp Monitor with powerful 140W charging for laptops, impressive I/O hub, 4K webcam, 99% DCI-P3 colorspace, and more.

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.

9to5Mac’s Take

Between Samsung with its upcoming 5K monitor and Dell’s new 6K Thunderbolt 4 monitor, Apple’s Studio Display and Pro Display XDR are starting to look more and more dated. From built-in 4K webcams, faster pass-through charging, built-in I/O hubs, and more, these new options look compelling.

Dell’s 6K monitor isn’t going to fully compete with Apple’s Pro Display XDR when it comes to the full range of reference modes for heavy pro users. But for creative pros and prosumers, Dell’s new UltraSharp could be a great Pro Display XDR alternative.

I think Samsung’s design is much cleaner and closer to Apple’s for these new displays, but for those that are okay with Dell’s aesthetic, you’re probably going to get a lot of bang for your buck.

We don’t have pricing for either the Samsung 5K or Dell 6K monitors yet, but you can bet it will be below Apple. What do you think about these upcoming monitors? Share your thoughts in the comments!
