Best monitor for editing

[Melissalile]

Hi.  I want to buy an external monitor so I don't have to edit on my laptop screen anymore.  Could you please tell me if any of these monitors would be good!

[Damien Symonds]

None of them mention IPS.

Definitely avoid Samsungs.

[Melissalile]

Ok, so maybe the Dell that is recommended in the monitors of your choice?

If I do this one, how do you get credit for the sale?

 

[Melissalile]

I could spend around $700.  Any chance there might be a 30-32" one in that price range that you would recommend?

 

[Damien Symonds]

The Dell Ultrasharps are generally a very safe option.  Good screens.

[Melissalile]

Ok, last question.  Of these 4? I just want to be sure and get exactly what you think is best!  And, I want you to get credit for the sale!

[Damien Symonds]

Any that mention IPS, or the ultra wide 178/178 viewing angles, will be fine.

The 2nd and 3rd ones.

[Melissalile]

ok, thanks

And if you want Damien to get the affiliate credit, you would buy using his affiliate links here: http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_monitor.html

Neither of the two you're looking at are on his list, though -- so you could also always just use the handy "Donate" button down here at the bottom of this page to buy him a few beers.

I will have to do that!

Damien, just a followup with my question. I ordered the U2715 and LOVE it.  I need to read how to calibrate both monitors, but even out of the box, it's amazing.

Terrific!
