I Need Help

[TheNewguy2023]

Hey guys I'm 25 I graduated 6 month ago and I'm looking to go all out for youtube. It'll be a Business that delves into counseling, self development, etc.

I was waiting for the Samsung viewfinity s9 5k. But after hearing the poor audio it kind of ruined it for me . What is the absolute best visually 5k monitor?

Why do you need a 5k monitor? Are you going to be using it specifically for Mac ? Unless you're doing some intense video, photo editing i dont see why you need a 5k monitor, any 4k monitor would be just as good.
As for the poor audio...no monitor has good audio, you will not find a monitor out there with good audio theyre all crap. Either get a good set of speakers or a headset. 
The speakers on a monitor are there as a backup, not as a main use case.

Just buy a pair of speaker, problem solved. 

 

99.99% monitor speaker is bad quality or no speaker.

5k at 27" is beyond overkill you wont notice any diffrence to 4k at 27"

Do I understand you need it for video production? If you're serious, separate out the video and the audio. No all in one solution is going to compete with quality choices at both ends. If you want the best you'll want a professional grading monitor and those really hurt the budget. To get the most out of them, you'll need to calibrate them regularly too.

 

However, I'd urge you to reconsider your strategy. The reality of the situation is that your success is not dependent on your equipment. You don't need expensive equipment to get started, and becoming a Youtuber is an uncertain venture at the best of times. You can probably already make it work with what you have now, and go from there. If not, start with decent but affordable equipment. You won't know what you need up front, as you don't know what works and do not have the experience to correctly make that assessment, so getting started and figuring it out as you go along is best. That way you can also discover whether the grind of making endless videos and coming up with fresh ideas works for you, and won't lose a lot of money if it doesn't. People have started successful channels with nothing more than an old iPhone and still indicate that learning what works and finding their editing style was key, not buying more expensive stuff.

 

This isn't advice I dreamt up either, it's coming from Youtubers with sizeable channels. Do not over-invest up front. First make it work, then invest.

Thanks for all the input. I have Sony A7siii and im not sure what i really need initially but i do need something that can handle that high resolution 4k 60 fps i see some videos on youtube with amazing work, maybe i should rethink things. i just prefer not to purchase things more than once. 5k monitor seems future proof ill be doing photos, video editing, and some design/ eccomerce. I was just trying to get something thats foolproof. even with the pc build im at 3500 for gpu and psu alone.

I think i should reconsider.

For 27", 5k only give you extra superb crisp text, that it. No any benefits, even 4K is too much for 27".

 

They is basically no extra workplace for photo video editing or YouTuber as if you set scale 100% in 27" 5K will make every text and icon too tiny, this will make eye more tired easily only. 

 

I don't see the needs for 5K for your usage in 27", the extra money is better invest in GPU instead.

rting is a good start, probably the Dell's if you just want it for video editing (but really, nearly everything would be fine, gaming monitors these days have just as good colours plus high refresh rate which still feel good to use on desktop even when you don't game)

I personally would just skip 27 inches altogether and try to find something at 32 inches. For productivity, size is king.

If you want 4K, go for 32" and above. 

 

If you want 27", 1440p is perfectly fine.
