This may only be applicable to a small section of digital creatives working in 3D or filmmaking, but for the three of you that are reading this, I've got some pretty cool news.

The only commercially available 8K monitor is currently on sale – and in a big way. The Dell UP3218K Ultra sharp is at an all-time low price, down from $4,770 to $2,999 over at Amazon.

Release Date: 2017

Price history: This is the cheapest that this monitor has every been. Yes, it's a 2017 model, so it only has a USB 3.0 port (no HDMI), but it's a visually stunning thing, and at a fraction of the original asking price, it's currently at a good price.
