What extra. choose a monitor for macbook air to work with graphics?

Question

Monitors

Good afternoon, I'm trying to decide on a monitor for Macbook Air 2017. The
monitor is required mainly for working with graphics (photo processing, banners, logos, etc.) and for video editors like Adobe Premier.

I must say right away that I choose the monitor not for myself, but as a gift and the budget is quite limited, up to 15,000 rubles.
And so, judging by the analysis of the data, I realized that I need to take a monitor with an honest 8-bit matrix.
(although after climbing on the photographers' forum, I found that they generally don't pay much attention to this in most cases and recommend buying monitors even with 6 bit + FRC ‍)
Based on the budget, I focus on 21-25", respectively Full HD.

Selected the following options:

1. Philips 241B7QPTEB 23.8"
   
2. ASUS VA24DQLB 23.8"
   
3. Iiyama ProLite XUB2395WSU-B1 22.5"
   • Aspect Ratio 16:10 Full HD
     
   • 10 bit (8 bit + FRC)
     
   
   
4. ASUS BE249QLBH 23.8"
   
5. HP P244 23.8"
   
6. ASUS VZ249Q 23.8"
   
7. BenQ GW2480E 23.8"
   
8. AOC 24B1XH5 - Unlike the others, the connection is not via Display Port
   

Comparison of these monitors on Y.Market

The Iiyama ProLite XUB2395WSU-B1 with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 10-bit matrix (8 bit + FRC) stands out from this list, but it is 22.5", which is slightly (~ 3cm) smaller than the other options Actually, the

main question is the following:
- What is better to take, a 10-bit matrix or a slightly larger diagonal?

Additional questions:
- Maybe someone will recommend something from this list or offer their own version?
- Maybe it's better to take honest 8 bits instead of 8 bit + FRC ?

Bonus for those who do not know: what is the difference between 8bit and 10bit

Источником цвета в современном LCD-экране является пиксель. Собственно, сам пиксель состоит из трех субпикселей - красного, зеленого и синего цвета. Именно их английские название и формирует эту самую часто встречающуюся аббревиатуру RGB. Каждый цветной субпиксель открываясь -приоткрываясь изменяемый выдаваемый цвет в виде оттенков. Значение матрицы 8 бит говорит о том, что, каждый субпиксель может давать 2 в 8 степени оттенков - а именно 2х2х2х2х2х2х2х2 = 256 цветов. Но поскольку каждый пиксель состоит из 3 субпикселей разного цвета - то их комбинации выдают 256х256х256 = 16777216 цветов. То есть 8-ми битная матрица показывает на очи наши ясные 16,7 млн цветов. Соответственно 10-ти битная матрица — это 1.07 млрд цветов.

Answer 1

As promised, I am publishing a review on the Iiyama ProLite XUB2395WSU-B1 22.5" monitor.
I chose it because of the 10-bit matrix (8 + frc) and the aspect ratio of 16:10
+ based on the recommendations that a 21.5" FullHD monitor is preferable for a poppy, than 24 "FullHD.
I bought it as a second monitor for Apple Macbook Air, not for myself, but as a gift.
I must say right away that I prefer to order from well-known / reliable stores so as not to run into counterfeit / gray products, I probably won’t shine the name of the store so that they don’t count as advertising.Now,
closer to the point, what I can say:
There is a small backlight at the bottom left of the screen, but it is very weak and noticeable only on a completely black screen in a dark room, objectively - if you don’t look for backlight, it will even be impossible to detect .
There is a Display Port cable, which is good, the color reproduction is excellent compared to TN, but it does not leave the feeling that the colors in general are a little dull chtoli, calibration probably needs to be done.
Dead pixels were not found, there is no squeak or third-party noise either.
As a picture, there seems to be a slight difference between my ASUS VP249HE (6bit + frc), but not fundamental and I'm not sure about objectivity. I tested both monitors by connecting via a VGA cable (mine was initially connected via VGA, and the video card does not have a Display Port output). Then, though, I connected my ASUS via HDMI and the image quality improved, but in general, I think only a professional in most cases will find differences between 6bit + frc and 8bit + frc, but yes, the gradients have become smoother))
I don't know what else to add, if you have questions - ask. In general, I am satisfied with the purchase, now I really need to be puzzled by the calibration, but for the price, in my opinion, an excellent solution!
I will try to supplement the review after calibration and make a photo comparison with my current ASUS P249HE

A few pictures

UPDATE
Another advantage is the stand, reliable and comfortable, the monitor can be rotated in any plane, rotated 90 degrees, it is perfectly adjustable in height, in general, it is very convenient.
Of the minuses - the sound, which is generally expected.

1) To be honest, I'm not familiar with all the monitors on your list. From well-known brands, for your task, LG has been producing monitors tailored specifically for Mac for many years. And from the players who recently broke into the market, you can look at the Xiaomi brand. They also have a very wide range https://topbestgoods.ru/luchshie-monitory-xiaomi/
2) Answering your second question: between "8 bit + wide diagonal" and "10 bit + not so wide diagonal", personally I would I chose "8 bits + wide diagonal", because the difference between 8 and 10 bits is not so significant, and I just like big monitors, it's a habit.
