Dell Debuts Monumental 52-Inch UltraSharp 6K Thunderbolt Hub Monitor
Dell’s curved 6K ultrawide joins a studio-ready 32-inch 4K QD-OLED, both built for power users and color-critical creators.
Summary
- Dell launched the UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor (U5226KW) at CES 2026, a 52-inch curved 6K (6144 x 2560) IPS Black display designed for data professionals to replace multi-monitor setups
- The 52-inch beast features a built-in Thunderbolt 4 hub with 140W power delivery, a 2.5GbE port, and an integrated KVM that supports controlling up to four PCs simultaneously
- For creative professionals, Dell announced the UltraSharp 32 4K QD-OLED (U3226Q) for $2,599 (launching February 24), which features a built-in colorimeter, 120Hz refresh rate, and the world’s first anti-glare low-reflectance coating on a QD-OLED panel
Dell is turning the multi-monitor “command center” into a single object of desire with the new UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor, a 52-inch curved 6K ultrawide that essentially fuses a 43-inch 4K plus two 27-inch QHD verticals into one uninterrupted canvas.
The IPS Black panel pushes 6,144 x 2,560 at 120Hz with 129 ppi, 2,000:1 contrast, and anti-glare low-reflectance coating, positioning this as a productivity-first display that still feels smooth enough for gaming-adjacent use. Where it really flexes is I/O and workflow: a built-in Thunderbolt 4 hub with up to 140W power delivery, dual HDMI 2.1, dual DisplayPort 1.4, 2.5GbE, a pop-out front hub, and an integrated KVM that lets you drive up to four PCs as if this were four discrete monitors.
Dell leans into eye comfort and all-day use with TÜV 5-star eye comfort certification, hardware low blue light that cuts exposure by up to 60% versus rivals, plus an ambient light sensor that subtly tunes brightness and color temperature while you work.
Alongside the 52-inch beast, Dell is aiming squarely at color-critical creators with the UltraSharp 32 4K QD-OLED Monitor, a 120Hz 4K panel boasting an infinite 1.5M:1 contrast ratio, DisplayHDR True Black 500, Dolby Vision, and Delta E < 1 accuracy out of the box. The 32-inch QD-OLED bakes in an integrated colorimeter, 3D LUT support, Dell Color Management tools, and the first Anti-Glare Low Reflectance coating on a QD-OLED panel, making it a studio-ready reference display rather than just another flashy OLED.
Both monitors carry Dell’s sustainability story, with up to 90% post-consumer recycled plastics, 100% recycled aluminum in the stand, and fully recyclable, paper-reduced packaging that quietly nudges pro-grade hardware toward a lower-impact future.
Pricing lands firmly in power-user territory: the UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor starts at $2,799 USD without a stand ($2,899 USD with), while the UltraSharp 32 4K QD-OLED arrives February 24, at $2,599 USD, signaling Dell’s intent to own the high end of the creator and data-pro display game.
