Dell has taken the wraps off a new 27-inch monitor that supports 4K along with HDR, and it’s an impressively bright panel that places a premium on color depth and accuracy.

The UltraSharp UP2718Q offers a 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) at a refresh rate of 60Hz, and the company boasts that it’s the first 27-inch monitor to fulfil the HDR10 standards as specified by the UHD Alliance.

You also get 178-degree viewing angles both horizontally and vertically.
