After the debut of the first non-gaming OLEDs in 2025, Dell is raising the bar. In 2026, the company is launching the QD-OLED UltraSharp U3226Q monitor aimed at video, graphics, and photography professionals, as well as the UltraSharp U5226KW — the world's first 52-inch 6K display for work that requires a vast workspace.
Currently, OLEDs in PC monitors are primarily associated with gaming — both due to the subpixel structure (QD-OLED or WOLED) and concerns about burn-in with everyday use. Dell apparently believes that the technology has matured enough to also meet professional needs.
32″ QD-OLED UltraSharp U3226Q — HDR, Dolby Vision and colour accuracy
The new U3226Q uses Samsung's QD-OLED panel with a 4K resolution, HDR support (including Dolby Vision) and a DCI-P3 colour space of ~99%. The monitor is factory calibrated to Delta E < 1 and has a built-in sensor for future calibrations. It offers a refresh rate of 120 Hz, Thunderbolt 4, and an anti-glare coating.
52″ 6K UltraSharp U5226KW — ultra-wide giant for work
U5226KW is a 52-inch curved screen with a resolution of 6144 × 2560 at 120 Hz and an IPS Black panel, providing a contrast of approximately ~2000:1. Dell targets users with massive data sets — analysts, traders, programmers, or those working with multiple windows at once. The monitor supports Picture-by-Picture (PbP) and Picture-in-Picture (PiP) features and allows connection of up to four computers simultaneously via KVM.
