If you are in the market for a professional-grade computer monitor for your retouching and color-correction needs, then you’re in luck. Dell has just upgraded its flagship line of Ultrasharp IPS Monitors. The line-up are now boasting 99% AdobeRGB and 100% sRGB color gamut for even greater range of color reproduction.

There are three monitor sizes available:

    30-inch Dell UltraSharp 3014
    27-inch Dell UltraSharp U2713H
    24-inch Dell UltraSharp U2413

The three monitors is also equipped with a 14-bit hardware LUT (look-up table) and a 12-bit internal processor that enables a 1.07 billion colors display for even more precise color rendition and gradation accuracy. In comparison, typical computer monitors are 6 or 8-bit, and are only capable of displaying 16.77 million colors. Each monitor is color-calibrated at the factory and will come with a certificate to show that it has passed the color accuracy test.

The IPS display technology is also superior to typical TN monitors, as we have discussed in our article, What is an IPS Monitor? A Practical Guide to Understanding Display Technology.

And if you want to further fine-tune the colors yourself, the Ultrasharp monitors also offer a six-axis color fine adjustment control.

The Dell UltraSharp U3014 will be released soon with a price tag of USD$1499, while the Dell UltraSharp U2713H is already available at Amazon for under $900. The Dell UltraSharp U2413 monitors is available at Dell.com for $599.
