Want a 6K monitor? If so, Apple's Pro Display XDR is the only game in town and its Mac-centric design makes it unappealing to those using Windows. Dell has finally delivered an alternative, the Ultrasharp U3224KB, which packs 6K resolution as well as a webcam, microphone, soundbar, and USB-C hub. The monitor’s sharpness is spectacular but comes at a high price.
SPECS
The standout specification is obviously the monitor’s 6144×3456 panel. This is a tad higher than Apple’s Pro Display XDR, which has a resolution of 6016×3384. Dell also opts for an IPS Black panel, a new type of IPS display panel that delivers a better contrast ratio than its predecessors.

The Dell Ultrasharp U3224KB retails at $3,199.99. That’s an extremely high price, though certainly not unheard of—and with no other 6K option on the market aside from Apple’s $5,000 Pro Display XDR, Dell likely feels free to charge what it wants.
