Professional Grade Monitor Recommendations

Hey you lovely LTT followers, I am looking for some recommendations.

 

I am currently in the market for 2 new 1440p OR 4k monitors (specific must-haves below).

I will be using the displays for photo editing, video editing and graphic design. Also a bit of gaming, but I am fine gaming on a "slower" than optimal display.

Any recommendations would be fantastic! Let me know what I should get.

 

Musts:

2 Monitors, same res, same size, but different refresh rates are fine.

4k 60hz+ OR 1440p 100hz+

27"+

IPS or VA

5ms GtG or less

10 Bit (At least one monitor needs to be 10 bit)

sRGB 100%

Delta E as good as possible

Gamma within .2 of 2.2

1000:1+ Contrast

Height Adjust

 

I know these specs are fairly specific, and I have done quite a few hours of testing, but need to know what others think so I don't buy something and end up disappointed.

Also, if you have any "STAY AWAY FROM" recommendations, that would be helpful.

Also, price is a difficult factor. I would like to spend as little money as I have to, but I also know that, for what I am looking for, I will have to spend a lot anyways. Don't let price be too much of a factor w/ recommendations, but I will not be able to buy something that is over $2000 (let me know if I am limiting myself with this price).

So I have some what bad news for you. In order to get a native 10-bit color profile on a screen you need a Quadro/FirePro GPU.

Ah yes that is some fairly bad news. But at least I know now and can go on with my search not worrying too much about the 10 bit part of my search.

I haven't had this monitor come up in my searches yet, so will add it to my spreadsheet with a recommendation next to it. Thanks!
