Dell has had plenty of reveals at CES 2026, including redesigned XPS laptops and new Alienware gaming laptops and desktops. But the highlight for me was its new gigantic 52-inch monitor.
Called the Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor, Dell says it’s the world’s first 52-inch 6K monitor. And while it might look like a TV, it’s designed with productivity in mind. Dell highlights it as ideal for financial traders, data scientists, engineers, and executives who need “maximum screen real estate” without the hassle of multiple monitors.
It doesn’t quite function like a typical TV or monitor, though. The monitor sports a 21:9 ultra-wide aspect ratio instead of the standard 16:9 most TVs and monitors use, supports a 6,144 x 2,560 (6K) resolution, and has a 120Hz refresh rate with support for VRR (variable refresh rate). You could theoretically game on it, but you’d need a powerful PC to make that work at 6K.
The monitor itself features an IPS Black panel, which Dell says delivers “richer blacks and better color coverage,” even though it’s not OLED.
As for the price, this 52-inch UltraSharp from Dell isn’t cheap. The model with a stand costs $2,900, while the model without a stand costs $2,800. Dell has already launched the monitor, and it’s available globally now.

Dell’s new 52-inch UltraSharp monitor is also a Thunderbolt hub
The company also has a new 32-inch UltraSharp monitor coming soon
In addition to its behemoth size, Dell’s new 52-inch UltraSharp monitor comes loaded with ports, hence the “Thunderbolt Hub” in the name. Its bottom I/O includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, and one Thunderbolt 4 port with video-out capabilities and 140W Power Delivery so that you can charge your laptop, phone, or tablet directly through the monitor. It also features USB-C and USB-A downstream ports, plus a 2.5Gbps Ethernet jack.
With so many ports, you can also hook up multiple PCs at once. The monitor supports up to four simultaneous video sources, thanks to its Screen Position feature, which treats each PC source as its own individual monitor on the display. It also includes KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) support, letting you control all connected PCs with a single mouse and keyboard.
If 52 inches is too big for your desk, Dell also announced a new 32-inch UltraSharp display with 4K resolution and a QD-OLED panel. The monitor supports True Black 500 HDR and Dolby Vision, and it also has a 120Hz refresh rate. While the 52-inch UltraSharp is aimed at data scientists and traders who need tons of screen real estate, the 32-inch model is more targeted at media professionals, like video and photo editors. You could also game on it, though a gaming-specific panel — like one from Dell’s Alienware lineup — would be better suited for that since they have higher refresh rates.
The Dell UltraSharp 32 4K QD-OLED monitor costs $2,600 and launches February 24, while the 52-inch Dell UltraSharp starts at $2,800 and is available now.
