For certain gadget lovers, there's an element of competition behind some purchases, your friend has the new iPhone, you must get the higher capacity model or another friend has just bought a new graphics card so you remortgage your home to build a top of the line gaming rig which you'll inevitably use for browsing WhatCulture or other reputable websites more than you will gaming. But the greatest level of one-upmanship in all areas of technology is screen resolution. Whether it's manufacturer or consumer, everyone is obsessed with how many pixels can be forced into a screen. But 4K is so last year, seeing as Dell have recently announced their first 5k monitor. Yes, you read that right, 4K is barely out of the starting blocks and Dell are already attempting to best it. The 5K refers to the 5000 vertical lines of pixels, with over 2000 horizontal lines, the pixel density on these monitors of 218dpi and a colour range of over 1billion, viewing content on these monitors should be the visual equivalent of greasing an engine with the finest oil money can buy. The only problem at this point is, to run a 5K display for maximum effect you will need a graphics card that doesn't exist yet. The amount of power required to run these displays to their capacity won't be available for a little while and even then, they're going to be hideously expensive, though if you can afford one of these 5K beauties, money shouldn't appear to be much of an object.
