A video card that only supports DP 1. Oh, and you need to plug the ports in the correct order, as well. Switching them will result in a blank screen. Dell at least provides two DisplayPort cords in the box, and one is marked with a blue sticker on both ends, so users can tell one cord from the other.
We had problems with Windows 10 detecting the UPK as the primary monitor on boot if another external monitor was connected, and waking the monitor from sleep often took 10 or 15 seconds. Waking from sleep failed twice, though the problem was fixed by turning the monitor off and back on.
The UPK is a 60Hz monitor, and was instantly detected as such. Put simply, 5K works like any other monitor — once you run the gauntlet of setting it up. Booting into Windows with the UPK is an astounding experience. Suddenly, a new level of sharpness becomes apparent.
Fonts that once appeared fuzzy look crystal-clear. And images reveal detail that was previously invisible. In truth, the default Windows experience is poorly tuned for 5K. This is made immediately obvious by the default backgrounds used by the operating system.
Their resolution is a mere 1, by 1,, which means they contain around a sixth as many pixels as a full 5K image. Portions of Windows 10 do a reasonably good job of scaling its interface. Unlike earlier incarnations of Windows, the latest Technical Preview appears designed with high pixel densities in mind. Default icons look razor-sharp, even in Explorer, and window borders share the same clarity. Yet there are obvious problems. Windows, as an operating system that must support a long list of third-party applications from past incarnations, cannot control what third-party developers do.
Stranger still are the text-scaling issues found even in Metro. Metro apps suffer similar problems. The Windows Store, for example, has made little effort to ensure images scale as well. This is not just a 5K problem: the unexpected softness is also visible on a 4K monitor. Apple released the first MacBook with Retina display almost three years ago, and has been encouraging developers to update applications ever since with moderate success.
The difference comes down slightly different aspect ratios between digital cinema and home displays. UHD is another aspect ratio standard, which means screens are backwards compatible with Full HD content. Both 4K and UHD definitions could be shortened to 2,p, to match HD standards that have preceded them, but this would make things even more confusing because while the pixel difference is relatively marginal, they are still different.
Some brands prefer to stick to just UHD moniker when marketing their latest TV to avoid confusion, but for the ease of marketing, it has meant that the two terms continue to be used interchangeably. So far, most phone manufacturers have avoided putting ridiculously high-resolution 4K screens into phones in a bid to preserve battery life. Apart from Sony's previous endeavours, that is.
That's double the resolution of a QHD panel, which to the naked eye will still look razor sharp. Of course with all those pixels, you'll need a multitude of graphics cards to consistently output over 60Hz. There's also 8K, the next resolution fad that many TV manufacturers are bragging about.
There have been a few iterations by panel manufacturers, such as Dell with its UPK , which runs at a staggering resolution of 7, x 4, These haven't quite hit the mainstream market, as there's not enough content nor graphics power that can handle 8K at an agreeable refresh rate.
Still, it's worth keeping your eyes peeled on 8K monitors. The below image should give you an idea of how big the difference is between various display types. I hope this article helped you figure your way around the gazillion display resolutions and terminologies that are available today. True 4K displays are used in professional production and digital cinemas and feature 4, x 2, pixels. UHD is different because it is a consumer display and broadcast standard with a resolution four times that of a Full 10 HD resolution: 3, x 2, pixels.

Thank you so much. I have trying to shop for a smartphone, and until this article , I have been totally confused. Thanks again.

What is Screen Resolution?
