Dell’s new monitor tracks your head to beam audio to your ears

Dell’s new monitor can beam audio directly toward your ears. The Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED uses a camera beneath its display for AI-powered head tracking, allowing it to adjust the sound coming out of its five 5W speakers based on your position.

As it directs audio toward each of your ears, the monitor also blocks sound at the opposite ear using destructive interference, which occurs when sound waves in different phases interact and cancel each other out. It’s the same type of technology used in active noise-canceling headphones.

Dell isn’t the only company to use head tracking to deliver audio; Razer’s Leviathan soundbar has a similar feature, and so does the 3D monitor Acer revealed in 2023.

The monitor comes with a built-in camera that tracks your head movements.

But it seems like Dell’s new monitor might be an ideal choice for gaming, as it comes with a 32-inch 4K OLED display, along with up to 120Hz refresh rate, a speedy 0.03ms response time, and support for AMD FreeSync Premium.

At $799.99, the Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED is a little cheaper than similar monitors like the $899.99 MSI Mag 321UPX and the $1,399.99 LG Ultragear ‎32GS95UE (though these two monitors have higher refresh rates). The Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED launches in the US on May 22nd, 2025.
