Looks better than the Intel one. I'm having a hard time distinguishing this from an Ultrasharp monitor of the same size. Dell seems to have done an amazing job fitting everything together in such a sleek package.
Looking at pictures on Dell's site, I think the main difference is thickness. It's listed as 2.09" thick and appears to only taper to half of that at the bezel. Dells stand alone monitors are much thinner.
Which is kind of funny because compared to the other 5xx series they have a larger potential for improvement vs their predecessor, as they are fully enabled and thus gained ~14% more shaders.
Freesync? Missed opportunity if it does not have it. Dell should also make the webcam a pop-out type located on the top of the monitor like Asus's AIOs That type of webcam has better camera positioning, privacy, and would make the design even more sleek.
Lost me at 4k and 1080p. If this was 1600p, maybe we have a deal. For that matter, I'm putting off ANY monitor purchase until I can get a 16:10 with gsync or freesync (gen2 I guess, gen1 isn't worth free). If forced I guess I'll have to drop the last part as 16:10 is available, just not gsync/freesync yet.
I don't want either res offered here on a 27in. 4K gaming is pointless for me if I have to turn crap off (any res, I want it all on always). AMD just did their vega demo at 4k with 2 vega cards (even they know 1 card is still stupid for 4k). It's comic review sites (including anandtech) and even AMD talk like 4k is actually what we use...LOL. IE Ryzen reviews, "what testing 1080p? You're doing it wrong, our chips are for 4K where the gpu is tapped out and our cpu scores better in gaming...future-proofing man...Our cpu could win...SOME DAY"...ROFL. Whatever AMD, I suppose it was smart aiming at workstation/server first where big margins are. I guess I have to wait until rev2 for the gaming version.
As for the resolutions here, Until market share crosses 10% (much like devs support of a console after 10mil units shipped, or mac games) of the market, you're pretty much wasting time benchmarking it, or worse ignoring win7 while testing the latest stuff since 50% of the world is still using it. As someone else asked, why not 1440p (and even that would be pushing it in many games)? This is about like buying a 4k tablet or phone or my dad's 10in nexus at 1200p (useless for games, and microscopic print...LOL). Not sure why people keep building things that kill much of the idea before the product gets out of the box. You're not going to watch 4k content (60in+ 4k is cheaper than one of these) or game at 4k really, and not exactly sure I'd like 4K anything on less than 30in for pc. Things just get too small IMHO or require monkeying with settings constantly depending on what you're doing. VR ready...LOL. Why not offer the better card/psu with the 1080p monitor also? At least that one could game for real then. Couldn't this thing really use some freesync help?
Looks great, but I don't buy things for that usually. Functionality first, looks if I can afford them. :)
I wonder if the hard drive will be easily user accessible.
Dell's usually good with that, though not on some lower end all in ones I've seen from them.
Nice unit for an all in one though. Good CPU and GPU, and it's great to see AMD get some love...and in their higher end unit! This is much better than the Intel based all in ones from Dell/HP I've seen.

I'm pretty sure that 2.09" is at its thickest point. The side profile of 27" Ultrasharps is not exactly what you'd call thin.nathanddrews - Tuesday, May 30, 2017 - link

The desktop cards have been in retail for a while, the press just failed to review them.Alexvrb - Tuesday, May 30, 2017 - link

I just checked the Australian prices for the current 24 inch Inspiron 7000 models. Holy hell these things are going to be expensive.ioni - Wednesday, May 31, 2017 - link
4K screen for a 580? Considering the 580 config is targeted at gamers, why not go with 1440p instead?TheinsanegamerN - Wednesday, June 14, 2017 - link
1080p is perfect downsampling of 4k, and is the ideal resolution for a 80 level card.TheJian - Wednesday, May 31, 2017 - link

Any word on GPU clock speeds? Is it the same as the desktop AIB model?
