Help me choose a graphics monitor

Question

Design

It's time for my wife to update the monitor. But here's the problem: I absolutely fell out of technical innovations. What now and how. And there is absolutely no time to understand. I REALLY ask for your advice. Who is very busy - please do not bother attacks in my direction. I really searched and re-read about 10 different stories about choosing and buying on Habré.

I seek advice from the tech-savvy as well as the designers.

The main thing is that the monitor is ideal for a graphist. My wife works mainly in Photoshop and illustrator. Those. The main thing we need from the monitor is the picture quality. No dynamic games, and all kinds of bells and whistles are absolutely not needed - just a picture.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Answer 1

You need a monitor with an S-IPS or P-IPS matrix, the rest (size, bells and whistles, etc., choose from the available options). There are not many such monitors, and manufacturers know that quality-demanding people will buy them, so there is practically no chance to buy bullshit.

Answer 2

Depends heavily on the budget. For example, (if we take 24") NEC PA241W is very good just for professional color work: extended coverage, powerful calibration capabilities, pseudo-10-bit matrix (8 bit + AFRC), etc., but this monitor is quite expensive.If the budget does not fit, you can pay attention to the simplified model P241W, with the usual color gamut and 8-bit matrix.Below are already, so to speak, "almost professional" monitors that can be classified as top-level for home use , such as 2490WUXi: high-quality implementation, a matrix with honest 8 bits, a good factory setting... Well, even cheaper models are already coming closer to budget solutions: deterioration in backlight uniformity, incorrect gamma curves, transition from 8-bit to pseudo- 8-bit matrix (6-bit with AFRC), well,
Just in case a fireman: if someone suddenly chooses prof. NEC has PA-series models, but considers that 24 "is too much, you should not take PA231W: although it belongs to the PA series, this marking is purely nominal here, in terms of characteristics and quality this is a very average monitor.
PS: Sorry, I'm writing here only about NEC.It so happened that I dealt with them most of all, and I know almost only by hearsay about the monitors of other companies.

Answer 3

DELL monitors have P-IPS, this is almost the coolest matrix, 8 bits per channel, which makes it possible to display 1 billion colors , and not like everyone else (and Apple too) 16 million, and DELL comes with Adob's color calibration with factory! Dell U2711 UltraSharp options are www.dell.com/ua/p/dell-u2711/pd or Dell U2410 UltraSharp ( www.dell.com/ua/p/dell-u2410/pd?~ck=anav ). I wouldn’t take another one for myself, I myself am a game / web designer.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, I can’t poke into the model, but I would advise you to take a closer look at Eizo www.eizo.com/global/products/coloredge/index.html

Answer 5

I work constantly with graphics and I can say with confidence that the transition to a monitor 27'' or more will be the biggest progress.
From myself I advise Philips (budget option) or Dell (a little more expensive, harder to find)

Answer 6

from economical LCD brands - viewsonic is not bad, from business class - NEC, and from VIP - Wacom

Answer 7

Guys. Now the question of buying has become close. Soon the DR of my missus.
Here's what I'm choosing now:
NEC P241W
hard.rozetka.com.ua/p241w_black/p203787/
NEC MultiSync 2490WUXi2
hard.rozetka.com.ua/ru/products/details/42232/index.html
In principle, so far from these two models.
There is another one half as expensive, but if you help me with the arguments why it is worth it, then I can lean towards it:
NEC MultiSync PA241W
hard.rozetka.com.ua/nec_pa241w_white/p139058/
Should I get confused on this model... ? Or maybe one of the ones above.
