Dell announced the new Dell 24 Monitor (P2416D) today, designed to provide optimal screen performance to its mainstream customers. The monitor has Quad HD resolution and 99 percent sRGB color coverage, meaning users will have consistent color from every angle.
The 2,560 x 1,440 monitor is 23.8 inches in size. It also comes with USB 2.0 ports, VGA, DisplayPort 1.2, and HDMI 1.4 for connectivity to both legacy and current PCs. The monitor itself has a wide range of adjustability features, allowing users to pivot, swirl, and tilt the product to achieve the utmost versatility.
“We are focused on democratizing monitors with higher resolution for everyday use,” Dell wrote on its community blog. “We understand that higher resolution can markedly improve a user’s productivity, whether they are creating content or viewing images. Monitor resolution — from HD to Full HD to Quad HD and beyond — has a direct impact on your computing experience, especially when you stare at a screen for long hours at work every day.”
The Dell 24 Monitor will start at $369.99, and it will initially launch in China at the end of April. The product will be for sale in the U.S. in May.
This product is one of many that have been added to Dell’s monitor portfolio since the beginning of the year. In January 2015, Dell announced two multimedia monitors designed to appeal to professionals who spend long hours staring at their screens.
The Dell UltraSharp 34 Curved Monitor — notable for its curved screen — was designed to offer clear, vivid visuals to users by providing 20 percent more pixels than two full HD monitors. The Dell UltraSharp 27 5K Monitor is targeting customers who want the absolute highest pixel density possible in a 27-inch display.

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
