US computer maker Dell recently announced some new products in their Latitude series of laptops, highlighted with Intel’s new next-generation vPro chips and an integrated webcam shutter feature called “SafeShutter”, to serve customers with a business niche. In addition, the company has also announced the UltraSharp 40 Curved WUHD display and Dell 34 Curved Video Conferencing Monitor which arrives alongside a 24-inch and 27-inch version with flat screens.
The U4021QW UltraSharp 40 Curved WUHD display is the first from Dell, having a display resolution of 5,120 x 2,160 pixel and with “wide color coverage and excellent color performance”. It has support for Thunderbolt 3 via the USB-C port along with the capability to deliver up to 90W of power for fast charging.
In addition, Dell also unveiled the Curved Video Conferencing Monitors, which come in three size variants of 24 inches, 27 inches, and 34 inches. The monitors are Microsoft Teams -compliant and feature secure facial recognition sign-in and several hands-free functions.
The monitors pack several features that make them stand out such as a one-touch dedicated Microsoft Teams button, a pop-up 5MP IR camera, two 5W speakers, a noise-canceling microphone, support for Windows Hello facial recognition sign-in, as well as hands-free commands via Microsoft Cortana.
Since Dell knows you’ll be staring at the screens for far too long each day, the company also says the monitors come with its ComfortView Plus system which helps reduce blue light emissions without sacrificing color accuracy.
The Dell UltraSharp 40 Curved WUHD display will be available for purchase at the end of January 2021 at $2,100.
On the other hand, the Dell 24 Video Conferencing Monitor is priced at $519.99, Dell 27 Video Conferencing Monitor (C2722DE) comes in at $719.99. Finally, the Dell 34 Curved Video Conferencing Monitor (C3422WE) will cost $1,149.99. All models will be available by mid-February 2021.
