What is the best monitor for photography?

What should a photographer pay attention to when choosing a monitor?

1. Physical size: Generally speaking, a 20-27 inch monitor is the best choice.

Second, the accuracy of color: it is also an important indicator to test the display. Generally speaking, the color reproduction of IPS panel is better than other types of panels.

Third, color cast: color cast usually refers to the viewing angle. For large sizes, this performance is critical. This paper introduces the display with IPS panel, which is better than other displays in viewing angle.

4. Color gamut range: it can also be understood as color saturation. In general, the color gamut value will be indicated in the specification table of the display. The color gamut value of most monitors is 74%NTSC (equivalent to 100% SRGB). If the color gamut value exceeds 100%NTSC, it is called wide color gamut display.

Generally, the price of civil monitors is relatively low, and the cost performance is high, but the color reproduction degree is low, so the selection of monitors is a very important link in later drawing. Here, I introduce eleven IPS panel monitors, ranging from 3,000 yuan to 22,000 yuan, from entry level to professional level, giving you a choice. Please check the price online, and it will not be announced here!

1, Dell U24 10

Entry-level professional display, H-IPS panel, 10.7 color, 1 10% wide color gamut (it can cover ADOBE RGB color space and 100%SRGB color space, but the problem is that it is reddish and the color is brighter than it really is, so buying this display must be verified by hardware!

2. Dell 2209WA

Although it is a non-wide color display, using E-IPS, the color reproduction degree exceeds U24 10, but there is still some deviation. It can be corrected by ICC profile, and it is better to use more accurate one!

3. Dell 2007FP

It uses S-IPS screen and has the function of picture-in-picture, which is its selling point. Color reproduction is a little warm, but it should be accurate.

4. Philips 240PW9

Using H-IPS screen, the index is close to U24 10, but it is less than U24 10 in function sum, and there is also a certain red phenomenon, which still needs hardware effectiveness.

5. HP LP2475W

Color cast is very light, and there is little redness, but it is more professional and cost-effective than U24 10 240PW9.

6. HP LP2480ZX

This is a very professional monitor, the price is on the high side, but the color details are very good and too smooth. The RGB-LED backlight system, 134% wide color, is already very good.

You can refer to the description of 2090, so I won't say it here.

9、NEC LCD-2690WUXI2

10、EIZO CG243W

Known as a professional drawing display, it has been carefully calibrated before leaving the factory, which can provide very accurate colors. Moreover, this series of products come standard with COLORNAVIGATOR2 calibration software, which can fully ensure that there will be no color loss during the calibration process, and the color of the portable screen is more accurate.
