Brian Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Need more info. What size? Budget? I'm also going to move this into the Windows Hardware Forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Here is a comment I recently made in another thread: A single Dell Ultrasharp IPS monitor is fine. You don't need a 4K fancy Display. A simple single 27" IPS Display with 2560x1440 resolution is perfect for photo editing. There are many different models out there, just make sure the display is IPS (In-Plane Switching) based. Here are some from a quick search. As with any technological-based product in 2021, the prices are a bit higher than they were a year or so ago. But you should be able to find something for $500 or less. https://www.amazon.com/Dell-U2717D-UltraSharp-InfinityEdge-Widescreen/dp/B01D402Z28/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=dell+ultrasharp+ips+27"&qid=1633031182&sr=8-4 https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Ultra-Thin-FreeSync-DisplayPorts-Certified/dp/B091955LC7/ref=dp_fod_1?pd_rd_i=B091955LC7&th=1 But whatever you do, AVOID THE CURVED DISPLAYS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Like with anything technology rated in 2021-2022, things are usually out of stock rather quickly. Just a short week ago, these displays were cheaper and in stock. Now there's only 1 left and it's $400-$500. So you will have to keep an eye out for a deal. Monitors that should be $300-ish (US Dollars) are now going for around $500+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaNicole Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 $500 is perfect...no clue what size, but I see your recommendation and that is extremely helpful. Thank you so much for all the information Brian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 "Quick and Dirty" things to look for: IPS Display Panel Type sRGB Coverage in the 90% Range (anything 95% or above is perfect) Matte Display or Anti-Glare Coatings HDMI or DisplayPort Connections 24" or 27" (Non-4K) is fine for Photo-Editing Just look in the technical specifications. IPS Display Panels ensure that colors, contrast, sharpness are consistent from edge-to-edge. They also have a better viewing angle, usually around 170º. The IPS Display Panels cost the manufacturers more money, so they will mention it in either the description or tech specs. If it doesn't have a IPS Display Panel, move onto the next screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
