Dell unveils giant UltraSharp monitor and new QD-OLED display at CES 2026

Dell used CES 2026 to highlight its return to high-end displays, adding two new UltraSharp models aimed at very different types of professional users. While its refreshed XPS laptops and latest Alienware gaming hardware drew attention, the company also introduced a 52-inch Thunderbolt hub monitor designed to replace multi-screen trading desks, along with a 32-inch QD-OLED panel created for creatives and content producers.

Both monitors are built for power users who rely on screen clarity, colour accuracy, and strong connectivity. Dell positioned them as tools designed to simplify complex work environments, reduce clutter, and support long hours of use with comfort and precision in mind.

Dell described the new monitors as part of its ongoing effort to modernise professional displays for demanding work. Instead of focusing solely on resolution, the company placed equal emphasis on usability, viewing comfort, and smart connectivity, aiming to help users work more efficiently without relying on multiple monitors or excessive cabling.

The UltraSharp range has traditionally targeted creative professionals and corporate users, and Dell stated that these new additions continue that approach while introducing newer technologies such as Thunderbolt 4 power delivery, advanced anti-glare coatings, and improved eye comfort certification.

A 52-inch display aimed at finance and analytics

The headline launch is the Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor, a massive screen designed for traders, analysts, data scientists, engineers, and anyone who typically works with at least two displays. Dell said the goal was simple: replace multi-monitor setups with a single ultra-wide screen while still supporting multiple devices connected at once. The display also includes an integrated hub to help reduce cable clutter on busy desks.

The 52-inch model has a resolution of 6,144 x 2,560 pixels, close to 6K, and runs at 120Hz with a 21:9 aspect ratio. Its sheer size meant Dell applied a 4200R curvature to make viewing more comfortable for users seated at a desk. Despite its scale, the IPS panel carries TÜV Rheinland 5-star Eye Comfort certification, along with an ambient light sensor and an anti-glare, low-reflective coating to reduce strain during extended use.

Connectivity is one of its major strengths. The built-in hub includes Thunderbolt 4 with 140W power delivery, and users can connect up to four different PCs. A built-in KVM switch allows control of multiple systems, while support for Windows, macOS, Linux (Ubuntu), and ThinOS makes it suitable for many professional environments. Dell also added HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, Ethernet, and several USB-A and USB-C connections, plus a pop-out dock for easy access. Despite the hardware inside, Dell still fitted speakers into the display, and the optional stand allows up to 90cm of height adjustment, with tilt and swivel.

Dell priced the UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor at US$2,899.99 with the stand and US$2,799.99 without it. Global availability begins on 6 January 2025, with local pricing for individual markets to be confirmed at a later date.

QD-OLED option designed for creative work

Dell also unveiled the UltraSharp 32 4K QD-OLED Monitor, built for creators, designers, and content professionals who want a step up from a typical 27-inch screen. Dell highlighted that it is the world’s first consumer QD-OLED monitor with DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification and an anti-glare, low-reflectance coating, reinforcing its focus on colour quality and comfortable viewing.

Out of the box, Dell said the screen is tuned for colour accuracy, with a delta-E less than 1. It supports professional colour standards, including 99% DCI-P3, Display P3, 80% BT2020, 94% Adobe RGB, 100% sRGB, and BT709. An integrated colorimeter allows users to calibrate the display directly, giving them greater control without needing external tools. Like its larger counterpart, it also carries TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort certification, with blue light reduction designed to support longer creative sessions.

Connectivity remains a priority. The monitor includes Thunderbolt 4 with 140W power delivery, an Ethernet port, and a pop-out dock with USB-C and USB-A ports for convenience. Dell positioned it as a premium display for serious creative workloads such as video editing, colour grading, photography, digital art, and visual production.

The Dell UltraSharp 32 4K QD-OLED Monitor will be available globally for US$2,599.99 starting on 24 February 2026. Similar to the larger model, Dell said local pricing updates will follow for individual regions when confirmed.
