Posted April 7, 2022 I am looking for recommendations for a 27+ inch 2160p, 60+hz monitor, with good colour gamut. Preferably under 350 (US). Thanks for your help ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 7, 2022 Author Is it worth it to take the HDR400 variant or does that not really make a difference to the non HDR variant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 7, 2022 Its good to see you have asked for good color gamut, rather than accuracy. Can we assume u have the means to calibrate yourself ? if so, what color gamut targets are you after and in which color spaces ?

Posted April 7, 2022 Author Unfortunately, I do not have the means to calibrate the screen. I actually only work in the sRGB color space, because my projects are mostly printed and the copieshop can't really do anything with a larger color space. But it should be quite accurate in sRGB. A higher resolution would be important to me. I think that 1440p is sufficient, but 2160p would be future-proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 7, 2022 Ok well, without the ability to calibrate, or the budget to buy pre calibrated displays, ur color gamut requirements are the least of ur concern. Most monitors dont come very well calibrated out of the factory, so regardless of their gamut specs, they wont be accurate. The Gigabyte M27Q is a 1440p 27" display that has good factory calibration and has full sRGB gamut and 97% adobeRGB. Its likely ur best bet. Its right at the top fo ur budget however. The gamma curve isnt perfect, gets to dark at low luminance values so u may want to tweek that but otherwise its fine. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m27q I only recommend displays that have been tested, so i cant speak for those that are just advertised as calibrated. However the proart display are meant for creators, so no reason not to consider them.

Posted April 8, 2022 With your budget you can buy a basic 4K 27" IPS monitor with 99% sRGB coverage. These go around $200-$220. Then buy a Calibrite Color Checker Display, calibrate it yourself and the results will be better than anything pre-calibrated. This should be possible with the budget you have. If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 11, 2022 Author After I have calibrated the display, I do not have to repeat this in the near future, right? So I can order this, calibrate the display and send it back. And can thus spend a little more for the display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can order this, calibrate the display and send it back. And can thus spend a little more for the display. Monitor colors "drift" over time, so best-case you should recalibrate every few months. Also, buying a product you'll be returning either way is morally questionable. But that's something your consience has do deal with, not mine.
