| The Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor can be connected to four computers at the same time. |
In a move set to redefine the premium workstation, Dell Technologies has unveiled a behemoth of a display that promises to declutter desks and supercharge productivity. Meet the Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt™ Hub Monitor – a 51.5-inch curved marvel that Dell boldly claims is the world’s first 6K monitor utilizing IPS Black panel technology. More than just a screen, it’s designed as an all-in-one command center, aiming to replace complicated multi-monitor setups for professionals who demand both immense screen real estate and pristine image quality.
A Hub Designed for Power Users
Gone are the days of wrestling with multiple cables and bezels cutting across your workflow. Dell is targeting this monitor squarely at financial traders, data scientists, engineers, and C-suite executives—anyone who needs to juggle multiple applications, data streams, or projects simultaneously. The "Hub" in its name is a core feature: it can connect to up to four PCs at once, with the ability to partition the vast screen into dedicated sections. Coupled with its built-in KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switch, users can control all connected computers with a single keyboard and mouse, seamlessly shifting between systems.

Unpacking the Spectacular Display Specs
At the heart of this monitor is its stunning 51.5-inch curved (4200R) IPS Black panel. The 6K resolution of 6144 x 2560 on a 21:9 aspect ratio offers an expansive canvas that’s equivalent to multiple high-resolution displays side-by-side, but without distracting bezels. Key display features include:
- IPS Black Technology: Delivers deeper blacks and a superior 2000:1 contrast ratio compared to standard IPS panels, ensuring vivid detail in both shadows and highlights.
- 120Hz Variable Refresh Rate: Provides smoother scrolling and more responsive cursor movement, reducing eye strain during long work sessions.
- TÜV Rheinland Certified Comfort: Dell states this is the first monitor to achieve the highest tier of Low Blue Light certification, reducing harmful emissions to under 20% without the typical color distortion associated with blue light filters. A built-in ambient light sensor adjusts screen brightness to match your room.
- Full Ergonomics: With anti-glare coating, the monitor supports tilt, swivel, and height adjustment up to 90mm for the perfect viewing angle.
Connectivity That Means Business
The UltraSharp 52 doesn’t skimp on ports, effectively acting as a docking station. The array includes:
- Video & Power: 2x HDMI 2.1, 2x DisplayPort 1.4, and 1x Thunderbolt™ 4 port with 140W Power Delivery—enough to charge a high-performance laptop.
- Data & Networking: 4x USB-A 10Gbps ports, 3x USB-C 10Gbps upstream ports, and a dedicated RJ45 Ethernet port for a stable, wired network connection.
- Quick-Access Front Hub: A clever pop-out compartment on the front houses two USB-C (with 27W charging) and one USB-A port (all 10Gbps) for easy access to peripherals or fast file transfers, keeping cables tidy when not in use.
Additional amenities include built-in speakers, an optional cable management cover for the stand, and a VESA mount option.
