Kaby Lake Precision pre-release discussion (5520 / 7520 / 7720)

AFAIK, there is currently no UHD touch option. (Is there any touch option at all on the 7720?)

The manuals have been known to be wrong at times when it comes to fine details like this. Maybe Dell was or is planning to release such a panel and the manual hasn't been updated to reflect its lack of availability.

 

Not specific to the new Precisions necessarily, but following up on this post earlier in the thread:

I just installed the Windows 10 Creator's Update and this scaling situation is much better now. You can right-click on an application and select "Properties", go to the "Compatibility" tab, and override the DPI scaling behavior (three possible choices: "Application", "System", and "System (Enhanced)").

I've found that setting the override behavior of apps with broken scaling to "System" fixes the problem. You get the bitmap scaled / blurry app, but it is at least fully functional, without any visual layout issues or tiny text. Maybe it won't work for all applications, but I tried this with four different apps that I have with varying degrees of brokenness with regards to scaling, and all four of them work perfectly with the DPI override in place.

 

Thanks for the update, Aaron.

That definitely makes it a lot easier to adjust the app's scaling behavior.

That's good news.

I'm still on Anniversary Update myself, but I will have a look after I upgrade to Creator's Update.

 

At the moment, there's no touch option at all for the 7720. For the 7520, there's only an FHD touch option.

 

For the 15inch 7520, do you know why the Xeon processor is showing as not compatible with the "15.6" UltraSharp FHD IPS(1920x1080) Panel 300nits Brightness w/Camera+Mic"?
I get an error in the configurator "The Xeon Processor is not compatible with the LCD". I'm in the US.
Thanks in advance!

 

AT the moment, there are two UHD options on the us site:

If this will be true, I will prefer the 100 % Adobe color display. Or is there a special advantage on the narrow border display?

 

I asked a sales rep about this and he claimed that both displays have the same color performance. (Unverified... it's a "bottom of the ladder" sales rep.)

@Dell-Mano_G, any change we could get clarification on the difference between the two UHD displays?

 

@Dell-Mano_G ,
I would also like to know the difference between these two screens, as when I first went to the configurator the UHD IGZO was available, however when I placed the order, it was not available. Thus I chose the UHD IPS. I do a lot of graphical design and would like the best color gamut available. Can someone who has experience with these two monitor types please explain how much and what the significant differences are?

The only thing I have read seems to indicate that the IGZO screen is "the best available" but that is not actual specs.
Thanks in advance..

 

And today we lost the IGZO-Ddisplay option on the US site and the IPS is the one and only UHD-option:

Hey Dell, what's on? I can't believe, that you didn't fix the display options at this late moment. I really need to change my old M6400.

 

Hi
In Denmark I asked sales rep for offer with 4K screen, but was told they only offer up to:

17.3" FHD (1920x1080) Anti-Glare LED-backlit
