Does this thing even work on consumer-level GPUs? I think at least nvidia doesn't allow 8K on anything less than Quadro cards? Or was that 10K?

https://www.nvidia.no/graphics-cards/geforce/pascal/gtx-1080-ti/#redirected Yes it can be run by new high end graphics card - it hits right up at the max.

RX 480 can run an 8k monitor it seems... DP 1.4 connectors.

8K? On 32 inch? Useless. And I don't buy this "media editing"... at 8K it is impossible to edit anything without using huge magnification, up to the point when visible "pixels" size is the same as on any 1080p screen. And using 8K on 32 inch just to "appreciate" the final result is plain stupid, and actually still useless, because at such tiny pixels it is almost impossible to see the difference with smaller resolution version.

We have 5K monitors for our CAD guys where I work and they still say they want more so..

Year 2030: MOOOM i need a new monitor, this 10k screen gives me pixelated image, Tommy next door has 12k screen and I can see a clear difference! ..........

I think this monitor is using DP 1.3 (two of them) to run this, unless they have changed that of course since showing of the prototype

Can we all please stop the nonsense complaining? It's about getting closer and closer to "reality", as reality doesn't have pixels. The universe is "almost" continuous ( atoms being the smallest "pixel" ) Obviously, display panels don't need to get their pixels to the atom level, but a level small enough so no matter how close my nose is to the screen I won't see pixels, and any line at any angle is perfectly smooth, like drawn on paper with a pencil... I'll take that !

GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 can also run at 8k resolution 🙂

Absolutely love the way Dell pushes the envelope. I do wonder what connectivity this might have. Single DP 1.4 should be able to handle it, but Dell tends to use older standards and compensates with having to use multiple cables. Not that there's that much wrong with it, but less cables is always better. (Plus it removes potential issues area) Edit: Well, it's 2 x DP (ver 1.4) for 60Hz.

I'm running 4K on 32" with no scaling and it's perfect. If things got any smaller than this it would be too difficult to use efficiently. I wouldn't mind seeing what the use cases would be for this though.

Yet another product to show ...how vain, how greedy and ridiculous this world is (and it goes for worse). My pa's wallet is bigger than that of your pa, my grandma's lung cancer stinks more than your aunt's diarrhea...

I could never imagine needing more than my 40 inch 4k monitor we need more power to drive these dam things ( or at least I do )

Resolution is very important when doing something like keying, and digital cameras can do this res (And a hasselblad can do incredible resolution, check this http://www.hasselblad.com/h6d), so what gives brah? Post production whether a moving image or still, this res is needed. And...my PA has 8K boobies.

And I don't buy this "media editing"... at 8K it is impossible to edit anything without using huge magnification, up to the point when visible "pixels" size is the same as on any 1080p screen. And using 8K on 32 inch just to "appreciate" the final result is plain stupid, and actually still useless, because at such tiny pixels it is almost impossible to see the difference with smaller resolution version.

You can't just arbitrarily decide something is useless because you have decided that no one can see pixels at that resolution. 8K @ 32" is the same pixel density as 4K @ 16". I'm typing this response from a 4K @ 15.6" laptop and I can still see the pixels, quite clearly too. Lines are smoother than ever but aren't completely smooth, aliasing still exists. Take this up a notch or seven for color-critical, high-resolution photography work or content creation, and you'd probably want more than 8K at 32" even, right up until aliasing is truly invisible (not even 16K will do).

All that res and stuck at 60hz. I know we wont get near shifting pixels at a decent framerate on this for a while but to think itll still look like a juddering mess at its hz limit is a shame. This is not a gaming monitor. 60hz gaming is borderline peasantry in space year 2017 .

This is not a gaming monitor ... Not everything has to do with gaming.

Obviously this is a workstation monitor. What we gamers can get excited about is that this tech will eventually filter to the mainstream and then into the gaming arena with high framerates.

I can imagine this being great for those filmmakers running Red Epic 8k Cameras, I have built few workstations recently for filmmakers needing a system to drive 8k footage, Monitor like this would go hand in hand.
