Dell
Panel—31.5-inch flat VA (vertical alignment) panel, LED edge backlight; 16:9, 3840 × 2160 (4K UHD), 139 ppi; anti-glare 3H-hardness surface

Dell lists 3000:1 contrast and 178°/178° viewing angles for this VA panel; the viewing-angle figure does not show at what angle colour and contrast start to shift.

Dell
Refresh rate and response time—120 Hz (48–120 Hz vertical frequency); 4 ms GtG (Extreme), 5 ms GtG (Fast), 8 ms GtG (Normal); AMD FreeSync Premium

120 Hz at 4K is available over both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4; the source must also output 4K at 120 Hz. FreeSync Premium matches the refresh to the game’s frame rate within 48–120 Hz to prevent tearing; AMD’s tier also includes low framerate compensation (LFC). GtG figures are given for the fastest overdrive mode.

Dell
Brightness, contrast and colour—300 nits; 3000:1 contrast; 1.07 billion colours; 95% DCI-P3, 99% sRGB; HDR10

HDR10 support means the monitor accepts HDR signals; with 300 nits and edge lighting it carries no DisplayHDR tier. 1.07 billion colours corresponds to 10-bit colour depth.

Dell
Connections—2 × HDMI 2.1 (FRL, HDR, VRR; up to 4K 120 Hz; HDCP 2.2), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (4K 120 Hz, HDR, VRR; HDCP 2.2)

There is no USB-C, USB hub, headphone output or webcam, so a laptop cannot be charged over a single cable. A 1.8 m HDMI cable is in the box.

Dell
Speakers—2 × 5 W built-in speakers Dell
Stand and mounting—100 mm height adjustment, −5°/+21° tilt, −4°/+4° slant; VESA 100 × 100

The screen cannot rotate to portrait (pivot).

Dell
Eye comfort—ComfortView Plus; TÜV Rheinland 4-star eye comfort certification

ComfortView Plus cuts blue light to 35% or less at the hardware level; Dell says this does not affect colour accuracy.

Dell
Power consumption—32 W in operation, 85 W maximum; 0.3 W standby and off; internal power supply, 100–240 V

It is ENERGY STAR 8.0 certified.
