Dell’s new 52-inch UltraSharp monitor can replace your multi-screen setup and USB hub

Dell's CES 2026 UltraSharp lineup pairs a massive 52-inch curved 6K Thunderbolt hub with a 32-inch 4K QD-OLED, targeting power users who want fewer screens and cleaner desks.

At CES 2026, Dell unveiled two new additions to its UltraSharp monitor lineup that push the boundaries of specifications. I’m talking about the world’s first 52-inch curved UltraSharp Thunderbolt Hub Monitor (that’s big enough to be mistaken for a television) and the 32-inch UltraSharp 4K QD-OLED monitor.

The 52-inch Dell UltraSharp Thunderbolt Hub Monitor (U5226KW) offers a resolution of 6,144 x 2,560 pixels (6K; 129 ppi), supports a 120Hz refresh rate, and features IPS Black technology for richer contrast than standard IPS screens. Dell also claims that the monitor emits up to 60% less blue light than its competitors.

One replaces your entire desk, the other perfects every pixel

The built-in Thunderbolt 4 port delivers up to 140W of power, allowing the monitor to double as a docking station with an expansive list of ports, including HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, two USB-C ports (27W), one USB-A port (10W), and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet jack. In other words, you can easily connect the monitor to your peripherals and even use it to charge your device (smartphone, laptop, etc.).

Given that it’s a 52-inch monitor, you’d want to have as many PCs and multitasking windows as possible, right? The Dell UltraSharp supports up to four PCs at once, making it an easy recommendation for creative professionals who like to do multiple things at once. And yes, there’s a new multi-stream transport feature that treats each partitioned screen as an individual monitor.

There’s a built-in KVM switch as well, which lets you switch between the keyboard and mouse for the different PCs. Moreover, the 52-inch Dell UltraSharp Thunderbolt Hub Monitor is among the biggest mainstream PC monitors after the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 (57-inch) and Odyssey Ark (55-inch), and among the most feature-rich models as well.

Then there’s the 32-inch UltraSharp 4K QD-OLED Monitor (U3226Q), which features a 10-bit color display with Delta E < 1 accuracy, 99% DCI-P3 and P3 coverage, and support for Dolby Vision HDR format. It also includes a built-in calorimeter for precise calibration, making it a go-to choice for color graders and graphic designers who prioritize accuracy.

Additional features include programmable direct keys for preferred color settings, the Dell Color Management Console, and the “first-ever” anti-glare, low-reflectance coating on a QD-OLED panel, which reduces glare and reflections for a distraction-free experience. While the 52-inch monitor replaces three or four screens with one, the 32-inch model provides excellent color accuracy.

The 52-inch Dell UltraSharp Thunderbolt Hub Monitor costs $2,900 ($2,800 without stand) and is available from the company’s online store. The 32-inch UltraSharp 4K QD-OLED Monitor costs $2,600 and will be available from February 24, 2026.

For months, the memory crisis was everyone else’s problem, but it didn't affect Apple. While smartphone and laptop makers quickly gave in, raising prices across their entry-level and flagship products, Apple stood strong, absorbing costs through long-term supplier deals that gave it leverage most brands simply didn’t have.

The situation, I fear, has gotten worse. Earlier today, the Cupertino giant revised the prices for multiple products, including the MacBooks, iPads, and Mac Studio.

This website publicly shames popular sites like Instagram, Netflix, and Spotify for being too lazy to add passkeys
Apple, Google, and Microsoft fully support passkeys, while companies like Netflix and Spotify have offered no explanation for the gap.

A new website is doing something many frustrated security experts have wanted for years. It is publicly naming big companies that still refuse to support passkeys. Called Why No Passkeys, the site tracks major platforms that continue to rely on old-school passwords even as passkeys become the safer option. If you use apps like Instagram, Netflix, or Spotify, you might be surprised to see them on the list.

The website was created by security researcher Scott Helme, who previously teamed up with Troy Hunt in 2017 to launch WhyNoHTTPS, a site that helped push much of the internet toward encrypted browsing.
