My "monitor" is 48".Non-sequitur? What on earth does that have to do with the statement that flat panel monitors are already thin enough?

I don't know what you mean. 24" at 1920 x 1200 is a perfectly usable size. If you double both dimensions and apply Apple's 4 pixels as one thing, you're back to the same size.
2K??I'm just asking you will have to scale it , not a major issue, myself I can't see myself going back to ever using a 24" . Next monitor will be 34" 2k
They did update it: now they have a 4K usb-C model in silver, for $650. Look it up.The best looking display on the market right now is the Acer H7 without a doubt. It's aluminum, has super thin bezels, and USB-C (on the gold model). If they update this to 4K in 2017, it would be a very nice option for many.

I'm just too much of an Apple guy to stare at non-Apple aesthetics while using macOS, so waiting for the next 5K iMac revision.
You do know that most PC monitors being sold today are still 1080p? Right? In a market where most people are still going for 1080p monitors it's obvious that a 1440p monitor is going to be a much easier sell from a price perspective. The focus here is definitely on shifting a lot of these rather than a few to people with ether deep pockets or good credit ratings.Gorgeous? It's a 1440p display for chrissakes. If anyone should be "ashamed" here, it's Dell for shipping 8 year old technology in 2017!
2K??

Still, $700 for a 1440p/60Hz monitor in 2017? That may have been a reasonable price a couple of years ago, but not today.
That Dell monitor is gorgeous. Apple should be ashamed of itself.

Second, not everybody wants - or has a computer that can support - 4k or 5k (and 5k still requires Thunderbolt 3 or a dual DisplayPort 1.2 cable, DisplayPort 1.3 GPUs still being like hens teeth). ...and not everybody is a graphics pro: "wide gamut" is more of a liability than an asset unless you're using properly colour-calibrated pro software (or perhaps you like hideously over saturated colors?)

The iMac G4 design was so jaw dropping revolutionary that Time Magazine actually couldn't wait and leaked the design before the keynote.Yup, this is the kind of excitement that Apple _could_ be creating around products, rather than releasing rehashes year after year. Ashamed is right.
Remember the coolness of the 2002 iMac G4?
But oh, how times have changed...
People usually keep their monitors for many years, they have one of the lowest replacement rates.Just wondering, how long does these monitors last in average use? Like does a user replace them every 2 years or like every 6 years?
Can't a 2015 MBP connect to them through display port or TB2?
These displays are terrible. Apple stopped being a design business when they stopped designing their own displays. A terrible move.You know, I just miss Apple displays already.
None of these have the aesthetics the ACD and TB's I still own.

I guess Dell forgot, that this is Apples' gig and no one else should be doing it... Do all of you complaining seriously hear yourselves? Apple did this for ages with their cinema and then thunderbolt displays and charged $999 for them. How is this Dell display that much different?
Also, what makes people think these were made for the new MacBook Pro? You all do realize that some Dell computers have had USB type C since late 2015 to early 2016? The company I work for has been using Dell Precision 5510 notebooks, that have USB C, for almost a year now. But they also maintain USB 3.0 ports and as card slots. As well as an HDMI port.
It just bothers me that people assume this new fangled USB C movement was started by Apple. This movement has been going on for a long time now. This is just the year every manufacturer will be pushing it hard. All of these devices being revealed at CES have been in development long before Apple released a single device with USB C.
It is better to buy a DisplayPort monitor, and a USB-C->DisplayPort adapter. Unless maybe if it is 5K.So here we have a monitor manufacturer (and a well-regarded one at that) actually getting out ahead of 2017 product releases so that people can make use of those USB-C connections. Dell should be commended, not ridiculed. I see a lot of ignorant FUD in this thread.
Why post stories about displays using tech that's 5+ years old?
The LG 5K display at under a grand is a steal.
Dell has HDR10 support but without at least 90% of DCI P3 and a pitifully low 400 nits. HDR-not-ready is more like it. No wonder more people are simply buying superior TVs to use as a monitor nowadays.
Well in a lot of ways, my thoughts are spot on. There are a lot of rubbish printers on the market, large, chunky, inefficient. Apple in that space would have continued to make a difference. That's the point I'm making.Yeah, same thing when Apple stopped making their ImageWriter dot matrix printer, daisy wheel Letter Quality Printer, and LaserWriter family of laser printers of the 1980/90s.
A terrible move. I'm shocked the company has survived.
Personally, that iMac isn't my favourite. I'm a big fan of the original flat panel aluminium all in one introduced in 2007. But from a design point of view, that G4 model is one beautiful classic that sets the tone of a company that can and will do anything to surprise -- and that is really missing today at Apple. No surprises. No passion. Let's hope the new campus creates a new environment for innovation and advanced design.Yup, this is the kind of excitement that Apple _could_ be creating around products, rather than releasing rehashes year after year. Ashamed is right.

Great point. Also people need to remember that Dell's pricing strategy is very different than Apple's. Dell regularly release products with very steep initial MSRPs, then drops the price very quickly after release (on an almost weekly basis) depending upon the demand they find for the product. This thing will either not sell well, and keep its existing price or the price will drop very quickly.The problem here is MR's suggestion that this product is being aimed solely at Mac users, or as if USB-C 3.1 only exists in the Apple garden.
Dell is positioning this squarely as a mainstream monitor (because of those mainstream specs) as other manufacturers introduce laptops with USB-C. Dell's own laptops have USB-C. And for the PC realm, AMD and NVIDIA will undoubtedly have USB-C on their next gen cards this year.
So here we have a monitor manufacturer (and a well-regarded one at that) actually getting out ahead of 2017 product releases so that people can make use of those USB-C connections. Dell should be commended, not ridiculed. I see a lot of ignorant FUD in this thread.
If you're a 2016 MBP owner, you're not the intended market for this monitor.
