DMartini Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hi Brian, My husband bought a monitor for me on black Friday and we are both hoping that it will be OK for photo editing. It's a Dell Ultrasharp U2917W. Can you tell me what you think? It should be here tomorrow. http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-29-ultrasharp-monitor-u2917w/apd/210-aiyt/monitors-monitor-accessories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 You are good. Enjoy your new display. Please use a HDMI cable or DisplayPort Cable with the monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMartini Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Thanks! He (and I) will be so happy to hear that! We also got a 6 ft High Speed HDMI Cable by Amazon Basics. Hope it's decent too as it was pretty cheap. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014I8SSD0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I get my cables from Monoprice. That one from Amazon should be fine. I also refuse to pay $50+ for a special super-duper cable that the stores try to push on you. It's a HUGE profit maker for them. In fact, the box stores make more profit selling a single overpriced HDMI cable than they do selling 3 gaming consoles. It's insane. The only time you need to pay attention is if you are viewing 4K video. Then you need a HDMI 2.0 cable that is capable of 18Gbps, but you are editing photos, not watching blow-up action movies on a 60" flatscreen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
