IF you wish to make a print that matches screen output or have others see a close match on their (calibrated!) monitors what you see on yours you really must calibrate your monitor to known standards using a calibration puck such as an X Rite i1 Display. While it is comforting to know that your monitor falls within manufacturers tolerances it is not of great use on its own in a correctly colour managed workflow.Īdobe RGB and sRGB are synthetic working spaces, not based on any real world devices. When a manufacturer makes a statement that monitor A covers 99% Adobe RGB gamut or monitor B is 100% sRGB compliant and has been factory calibrated with a printed report all this means is that the gamut claims have been validated for this particular monitor. I think there may be a little misunderstanding here about colour gamut and the need to calibrate. Some of these points seem picky but they all make a difference if you want accurate colour! Some video cards also produce different results from the different ports of the same connection type so it is important to make sure that the same port is used. If you change the output port from DVI to HDMI or DisplayAdapter that forces a need for recalibration, in my experience. Most important is getting the computer/monitor combo calibrated accurately.

I always try to use 2560x1600 (4K) or thereabouts but some of my older MacMini units only provide 1920x1080 (2K).ĭepending on OS and its version there can be differences due to video card driver support versioning. One aspects that people dont seem to mention is what resolution they actually run the monitor at. I believe that the latest Dell UltraSharp units are IPS units. I cannot calibrate both, so the Dell provides the accurate colour whilst the touch screen panel is for retouching/editing in detail. I have currently have a Dell UltraSharp 30" screen running as my main screen on my MacPro with a secondary (mirrored) high resolution 20" touch screen panel for editing fine detail (Cintiq-like). In Spain I had 2x Dell UltraSharp 27" units attached to my MacPro for Photoshop editing. My ten year-old monitors are still going strong, colour cast aside. My 31.5" IPS panels (wife wanted one too) connect happily via DisplayPort cables, and DELL Ultrasharp monitors come with a very useful plethora of input connections eg USB-C. A lot of people (ie me) run the screen brighter than we are supposed to, but I work in a very brightly lit room, and I don't print my photos. The colour correction will be pretty good out of the box. If you do decide to go with DELL Ultrasharp IPS, try to buy when DELL are offering hot discounts, which seems to be often enough.

If not, see on Mr Elwyn's pricey 4K BlackMagic UltraStudio 4K to connect his TV Maybe your card already supports HDMI 2.1 It seems you need HDMI 2.1 for 4K TV, so will connecting to your video/graphics card prove a problem? But will it come with the bells and whistles for colour control that an LG C9 TV has? LG nowadays produces a 42" OLED panel, you could stand looking at that all day, if you can find a TV or monitor that employs it. I read of a fellow who used a 55" OLED as a primary monitor, he got headaches and eyestrain and had to revert to a normal monitor setup. It's used for reviewing his work, very often with the customer sitting next to him. Mr Elwyn's article shows his 55" mounted six feet or more away from his workstation.

We have a Panasonic 55" OLED TV and its colour is leagues ahead of LCD TV panels, let alone ten year-old LCD ones! but I would go goggle-eyed if I tried to use such a big screen as a primary monitor. His very readable LONG article also links to other useful articles worth a read See Using an OLED TV for Post Production | Jonny Elwyn - Film Editor Jonny Elwyn is seriously well-known in the world of video post-production So maybe it is a general rule that whatever you buy will need to be replaced by 2027 or so?Īn C9 LG OLED TV is a realistic choice. ( They are not on all day long, maybe three or four hours now that I am retired.

Neither do I work in a blacked-out room painted dark gray as do pro video editorsĤK is a revelation on a well-focused detailed photo, the equally startling surprise was how far gone was the ten year-old monitor's colour accuracy.ĭue to age deterioration of the LCD backlight the old monitors have aged to a browny-yellow cast which I can't overcome by colour profile recalibration. I can't see it but I don't have perfect colour vision anyway. Yes the DELL Ultrasharps do have slightly non-uniform screen back glow. I use a new 31.5" DELL Ultrasharp IPS 4K monitor, my second monitor(s) is a ten year-old 27" 2560x1440 DELL IPS.
