Dell introduces something big: the 51.5-inch UltraSharp U5226KW monitor.

As a pixel pig, I’ve always had two sayings—the more you can see, the more you can do, and in computer graphics and monitors—too much is not enough.
At CES, Dell just introduced a gigantic 51.5-inch, 6144 × 2560 (15.7 MP, 129 pixels per inch), IPS Black monitor—the UltraSharp U5226KW. This is Dell’s biggest monitor yet.
The color quality is stupendous, 99% DCI-P3 (CIE 1976), 100% sRGB (CIE 1931), 100% BT.709 (CIE 1931), 99% Display P3.
It has a flock of ports, and the monitor can connect to up to four PCs simultaneously via an integrated KVM. There’s a lot of holes in this monitor: two HDMI port/s (HDCP 2.2) (supports up to 6144 x 2560, 120 Hz, VRR, as specified in HDMI 2.1 (FRL)); two DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 2.2) port/s; four USB Type-A 10 Gb/s downstream port/s; three USB-C 10 Gb/s upstream port/s; one Thunderbolt 4 40 Gb/s upstream port/s (DisplayPort 1.4 Alt mode, power delivery up to 140 W EPR); one RJ45 Ethernet port/s 2.5 GbE; one USB Type-A 10 Gb/s downstream port/s with battery charging 1.2; two USB-C 10 Gb/s downstream port/s; and power delivery up to 27 W—and, it has built-in speakers.
Personal experience
I have constructed and used, all day and every day, a 53 MP, 100-inch, three-monitor system of Dell monitors.
It takes a lot of desk space and power, and quite frankly, is not 100% used. I keep several Office apps open all the time, plus Web pages and other utility apps, but still, there is often a 10% to as much as 20% of empty display area.
A single large, high-res display could be, and probably is, all that even a pixel pig like me really needs.
Dell’s giant UltraSharp launched last week for $2,900 with a stand or $2,800 without a stand.
