Dell's Spring Range: New 8th Gen Alienware, Laptops, and Monitors
by Ian Cutress, Anton Shilov & Joe Shields on April 3, 2018 8:00 AM EST2018 S-Series Monitors
Finally, in addition to introduction of new PCs, Dell also refreshed its S-series displays. The new S-series monitors feature ultra-thin InfinityEdge bezels and speakers with enhancements by Waves MaxxAudio.
Dell’s new S-series family of displays consists of three base models: the S2319H+, the S2419H, and the S2719H featuring 23-inch, 24-inch, and 27-inch IPS panels, respectively. In addition, Dell’s new lineup includes the S2319NX, the S2419NX and the S2719NX SKUs with adjustable stands (supporting tilt adjustment). All models are based on panels with an FHD resolution, a 250-nits brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and a 60 Hz refresh rate. The monitors cover 99% of the sRGB color gamut, which is logical as they will be used primarily with Windows-based PCs. For connectivity, the displays use two HDMI connectors, whereas the S2319NX also has a D-Sub input.
The latest Dell S-series monitors come in stylish chassis with glossy backside. A slight disadvantage of the enclosures is that they do not feature VESA mounts, but since far not all offices use display stands with VESA mounts, this limitation is justified. The new S2319H+, the S2419H, and the S2719H LCDs are Dell’s first office monitors featuring ultra-thin InfinityEdge bezels.
The new monitors come with 5 W CinemaSound Waves speakers tuned by Waves MaxxAudio, like many other office LCDs. For customers who don’t need audio Dell offers HN-sufficed models without speakers.

What'd you put pads on? I looked at the Ifixit teardown and it shows thermal grease on the CPU heatsink. A decent grease should perform better than thermal pads, was yours missing grease entirely, or did you add cooling to something else?willis936 - Wednesday, April 4, 2018 - link
Thermal pads between the heat pipe and the case. I also put some thermal pads on the SSD (I put in a 950 pro though I'm not certain if it sees thermal throttling on heavy PCIe 2x loads). I had recently done a regrease (NT-H1) out of necessity when I swapped the SD card board (I did something dumb to break it). I never looked at the temperatures before that point so I can't say how much the regrease did for temperatures. If you search the internet you'll find some reports that match with what I'm saying and have pictures.HStewart - Wednesday, April 4, 2018 - link
I decided to go for the XPS 15 2in1 - I was not sure about Vega graphics - but I will give it a try. I purchase the i7 model with 4K screen and 16G of memory and upgrade the ssd to 512G. It was almost $2500 for this unit.I really like the technology that they put in this 2in1 - just not sure about graphics on it - but I love the fact that the 2in1 has a PIN with 4096 levels - this should be perfect for graphics on 4k screen. Pin should actually arrive any minute today.
I am going out on limb on this one - it been over a decade since I used AMD graphics - but the EMIB is an impressive design and want to give it a try. Does any body know if the XPS 2in1 can support the 6 monitors that Vega supports and will it support Free Sync.

That's cool and all but will the new XPS still be plagued with coil whine ?akula2 - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link
Which is most effective chip for laptops? (Business/Development). An i5?HStewart - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link
For code development GPU does not matter unless programming games and such, but I would think most important is to add more memory and make sure everything is SSD if possible.akula2 - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link
One more: which one is the successor of G4560 chip? ThanksHStewart - Thursday, April 5, 2018 - link
Well G4560 is lower end CPU - all of these products are superior to it - Including Y chips.Fiebre - Monday, April 9, 2018 - link
So would the xps 15 2 in 1 be ok to use with an egpu or is the thunderbolt not powerful enough?HStewart - Wednesday, April 11, 2018 - link
XPS 15 2in1 has the bandwidth to handle external GPU's - but I not sure since 8 of PCIe channels go to AMD Radeon chip - that external GPU gets full amount. But Thunderbolt should not be the issue since it handles 40G and XPS 15 2in1 has 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports which is nice.I did find the following site that has interesting information about eGPU
https://egpu.io/external-gpu-buyers-guide-2018/#tb...
It looks like from other information on the that site - it looks like the XPS 15 2in1 with it 4 lanes of PCIe supports the full range available for eGPU's. So it definetly powerfull enough.
