I assume that it being an Ultrasharp means it will be an IPS. If so, pretty sweet. And it might help drive down prices for the Korean 27s (1440p) monitors on eBay, which are much easier on the eyes (especially with text) than other panels.

The $700 monitor they are talking about is not an UltraSharp, but a P-series monitor. In the past the P-series label has used for both TN and cheaper IPS panels. Dell already has a couple of 4K UltraSharp monitors, but they cost a lot more.

My understanding is that this is a TN panel, not IPS.

It's not Ultrasharp, where did you see that?

You're correct. I mixed up the first sentence with the next.

But it seems to be an IPS, of some sort:

"The P2815Q packs an IPS LED display will have a full 3840 x 2160 4K resolution. It launches globally on January 23. Dell hasn’t yet discussed things like refresh rate or range of inputs (I’m sure DisplayPort is a given), but they do promise the same “screen performance” as the new UltraSharp 32 and UltraSharp 24 Ultra HD monitors. That’s certainly encouraging since their UltraSharp line is normally a cut above when it comes to professional displays."
