Dell’s 75-Inch 4K Display with Multitouch: A Rival for Microsoft Surface Hub
by Anton Shilov on May 14, 2019 5:00 PM EST
Dell has started sales of its 75-inch 4K monitor supporting multi-touch capabilities, and combined the device with a set of interactive features. The new Dell 75 4K Interactive Touch Monitor is designed to enable interactive work by groups of people and could therefore compete against Microsoft’s Surface Hub product series.
Dell’s 75-inch 4K Interactive Touch Monitor (C7520QT) uses an IPS panel featuring a 3840x2560 resolution and an ‘InGlass’ touch surface supporting up to 20 touch points simultaneously. Other characteristics of the display are in line with general office LCDs: it has a 350 nits brightness, a 1200:1 contrast ratio, 178-degrees viewing angles, a 8 ms response time, and so on.
The monitor supports a rather massive number of input ports, including one DisplayPort 1.2, a D-Sub (VGA), and three HDMI 2.0 connectors. In addition, the 4K Interactive Touch Monitor has an Ethernet, a quad-port USB 3.0 Type-A hub, a serial port, and 20 W speakers.
Since the Dell 75-inch 4K Interactive Touch Monitor is only a display, not a complete PC like Microsoft’s Surface Hub, it can be used with any PC providing some additional flexibility. Meanwhile the company offers its OptiPlex Micro PC that can be integrated into the display. The company also has a special display manager utility to control the LCD.
Dell’s 75-inch 4K Interactive Touch Monitor is currently available in Japan for ¥598,000 ($5,457) without taxes. Earlier this year Dell said that the C7520QT will be available in the USA this Spring starting at $5,999.99.

Microsoft Surface Hub 2 is about $22,000, this is less 1/3 that cost. I pretty sure for $600 you can not get multi-touch monitor for that cost - unless you consider external mouse or pin for touch ability.Cheap non touch 4k monitor cost just under $300
Compare to Microsoft Surface Hub this unit is a bargain.

Just our of curiosity I looked around to see what a 75 inch 4K TV goes for. I'm seeing anywhere from $1000 to $5000 and that's just a TV. Point being that when it comes to screens, manufacturers always charge a premium for their top sizes...justified by manufacturing costs or not. If you want the biggest available, you are going to pay. The sweet spot is pretty much always to drop down a size from the biggest. the same retailer has 70 inch for $800 and 65 inch for $500.Ripoff? probably but thats how its always been.

How many touch points does your coffee table have? Can it support multiple users interacting at the same time? Do you have software to sandbox different parts of the screen?Like the Surface Hub there is more to this than just a multitouch screen. These are business tools not a gaming monitor.

Why wouldnt it? You can get multitouch foil with USB adapter easily and turn any monitor or TV into a touchscreen, for only a fraction of those $6000. Dont need special software for that. Any multitouch driver does that on its own.Gunbuster - Wednesday, May 15, 2019 - link
20 touch points? Does that mean you can play twister on it?
