Calibrite Display Pro HL arrived today, that will be tonight's project. It's only money ... desktop is also 6 years old, luckily I try to buy for longevity, but I know that is probably next 😞 Thank you both for the input! ~ Kathleen

I guess my x-Rite i1 also probably needs an upgrade!

Thanks, Damien. The Dell Ultrasharps are still a good bet?

Sorry, adding a slight different BenQ model, very similar but also slightly different: BenQ PD3226G 32” 4K UHD (3840x2160) 144Hz Monitor for Designers, IPS, 95% P3, 100% sRGB, 90W Thunderbolt 4, Software Calibration, KVM, Daisy Chain, Reflection-Free Nano Matte Panel, Height Adjustable

My well loved and well used 27" Dell Ultrasharp seems to have reached end of life 😞 Considering these two: BenQ PD3225U 32 Inch 4K IPS Black UHD Thunderbolt Monitor for MacBook Dell UltraSharp 32 4K Thunderbolt Hub Monitor - U3225QE I am a PC girl. From some reviews, some feature might be geared towards Mac on the BenQ, but still PC conpatible. What else would you suggest at this time? Thank you!

Thank you (again). I haven't kept up on what's new in Cannon DSLRs, kind of bummed there isn't (and won't likely be) a 5D Mark V.

Thanks, Brian! If I zoom in, it actually looks like about 12 dead pixels (3x4 grid). And looking at images from last summer, about 9 (3x3 grid). If they remap, will the dead pixels eventually grow? Trying to weigh time it takes to fix and image v. repair v. new gear! Do you think shutter actuations is any kind of indicator to camera life? Know anything about http://www.freeshuttercount.com/? Or other tools that give this information?

Pixel peeping back to last summer, and the spot is in images from then also! Smaller, but there.

Hello, Brian! I recently took 100 headshots and have found, I think, a dead pixel smack in the middle of my frame (or at least pretty close to the middle). Looking back to even photos in December, I see it in those images also. For the recent headshots I did, the pixel falls on almost all of the photos between nose and chin so it was pretty hard to miss. I've done some reading about dead, stuck and hot pixels, and I think this would be dead? I can edit out the dot, that's easy (and tedious 100+ times). What I haven't found much information on is what to do about the camera. It's a 5D Mark iii and 10 years old. I can send it to Canon for repair, and maybe the choices are mapping it so data is used from surrounding pixels? Or sensor replacement? I think the cost of the mapping repair is less than $200, the sensor replacement I have no idea. I wasn't in the market for a new camera, but I do wonder how much is too much to repair this camera. Is indeed what I am seeing (on the chin in the attached crop) a dead pixel? Brian or others, have you dealt with this and have thoughts or advice? Thank you!
