It has been a few years since the UltraSharp’s last new breakthrough, but Dell is back with a new 30-inch WQXGA monitor, the UltraSharp U3014. And if you’re in the market for a high-quality, large display, the Dell Ultrasharp U3014 is worth considering

According to Dell, the high-performance display offers detailed images and colour accuracy up to industry standards with its 16:10 aspect ratio and 2560×1600-pixel resolution. Its design features an eco-friendly approach that meets various environmental standards, and it provides ergonomic flexible viewing options. The U3014 also boasts several nice-to-have features and a long list of on-board controls for tuning your image on screen.

The U3014′s matte IPS panel has a very wide viewing angle, which is important for a display of this size

You will most certainly need some help in attaching the heavy monitor to its stand but once you’ve done that, you can connect it to your computer using your choice of DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, or Mini DisplayPort.

Dell typically includes a four-port USB hub on its professional displays. This model sports two downstream USB 3.0 ports on its left side, along with a handy memory card reader, and two more downstream USB 3.0 ports (plus an upstream port) in the back. The display does not have built-in speakers, but you can attach Dell’s optional speaker bar to the bottom of the unit. The display is calibrated at the factory for both colour and brightness uniformity, but the U3014 offers a comprehensive set of onscreen menus if you’d like to make your own tweaks. The panel on which the U3014 is based is a “wide gamut” model, which means it’s capable of delivering more colours than you might be accustomed to seeing.

Create precision work with the high-performance 30″ Dell UltraSharp U3014 monitor offering wide-ranging flexibility, efficiency and factory calibration. Making the jump from a 27-inch display to a 30-inch display is a substantial investment: Dell’s U3014 is much more than the Dell’s 27-inch U2713H or Apple’s 27-inch Thunderbolt displays. According to Dell the U3014 is “coming soon” with a price tag of R14,199.90.But if you need a professional feature set in a very large monitor, The UltraSharp U3014 delivers.

Windows 8 was released, so it’s no wonder to see Windows 8 hardware available on the market, and speaking of which, we’ve been told about some special hardware from Dell South Africa that will enhance your Windows 8 experience.

If you don’t own a touchscreen monitor, the Dell TP713 wireless touchpad might add some interactivity to your Windows 8 experience. Dell TP713 comes with slim design and it supports multitouch, so you can use up to four fingers on its glass surface. Thanks to its large surface, you can swipe, draw, tap and scroll on the entire surface, from edge to edge.

The Dell TP713 wireless touchpad comes with USB RF nano dongle that is used for quick and easy setup, and at the same time, it allows you to use the touchpad from up to 32 feet distance. Dell TP713 touchpad uses two AAA batteries, and they can provide you with enough power for three months or use.

Dell TP713 wireless touchpad will work perfectly with Windows 8, and as for the price, this touchpad is priced at R636.12 Incl VAT and is available locally from WebAntics Online Shopping Store.

It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from Dell on the home entertainment front, but they’ve now released a large 23″ touchscreen all-in-one called the Inspiron One.

To us, the real appeal of this one is its Full HD 1920×1080 resolution, 23-inch display, which produced some pretty stunning HD playback when we saw it in action. Dell’s put a lot of energy into its new Stage touch interface, which consists of different tiled applications.

The Inspiron One starts at R10217.73 and will be available from March 2011 — but before you pull out the wallet, we’d suggest clicking through to WebAntics Online for a full read of all the details and specifications.

There is also a great video on the WebAntics Online (http://www.webantics.co.za) YouTube channel to check out the Dell 2310 in action.

I’m pumped to finally get a chance to blog about the Dell Streak tablet device. The 5-inch tablet launched first to customers in the United Kingdom in early June 2010 but South African consumers will now be able to purchase it.

We’ve been selling Dell for 6 years, and I don’t think there’s ever been more buzz around a single product than this. Hardware and design-wise, this thing impresses. Add the ever-increasing capability that Android brings to the equation, and you’ve got a mobile device that offers a ton of flexibility while looking cool in the process. The Dell Streak brings together a great web browsing experience, multi-tasking capability, slick turn by turn navigation and a great way to enjoy your photos, movies and music into a sleek device that’s built for mobility.

Dell has officially announced its latest range of notebooks, the Dell Inspiron R series, aimed at home users on something of a budget.  Released first in the South African market is the 15.6-inch Inspiron 15R at R8,617.17 incl Vat, with the Inspiron 14-inch Inspiron 14R and the 17.3-inch Inspiron 17R expected in the coming months. The three machines offer Intel Core i3 and i5 processors, up to 8GB of DDR3 memory and – on the two larger models – a full size keyboard with 10-key Numeric Keypad.

Today, more than ever, families are looking to technology as an extra set of hands – one that helps them stay connected, quickly cross items off daily ‘to-do’ lists, and keep them entertained. The new Inspiron R laptops were designed with this in mind – making it easier than ever to access personal files and securely share photos and videos wirelessly, as well to enjoy the ideal mobile personal entertainment hub, offering smooth video playback, surround sound and a built-in Webcam. Wrapped in curvy edges, smooth lines and available in four unique colourful finishes (Mars black, Tomato red, Peacock blue and Promise pink) with chrome accents, the Inspiron R laptops are as beautifully designed as they are useful. With the different display sizes ranging from 14” models that fit perfectly in a messenger bag, to home and dorm room-friendly 15.6” and 17” versions, the Inspiron R boasts a contemporary and sleek appearance that will make anyone feel good about bringing it out in the classroom or the local coffee shop.

Dell also built in unique features and timesavers like the Dell Dock, which reduces time searching applications and files – photos, videos and most commonly used apps are placed right at the top of the screen. Students also have the option to purchase a Office license as the newly launched Microsoft office suite is already pre-installed on their Inspiron R laptops, to ensure they have the tools they need to hit the ground running.

The 15r model has a 15.6-inch display with a standard 1,366×768-pixel resolution, which is the default for everything from upscale 10-inch Netbooks, to 13-inch models, to most 14- and 15-inch midsize laptops. That’s fine for Web surfing, DVD playback, and online streaming, but it’s not true 1080p HD so keep in mind when choosing your laptop. There’s also 3GB of onboard memory, 320GB of internal storage, an Intel Integrated GMA 4500MHD graphics card, and the 64-bit of Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium.  Connectivity includes the usual array of 3 x USB 2.0 and a 7-in-1 memory card reader along with HDMI, VGA and audio in/out ports.
