In windows 10 you can have 4 screens open at the same time. I frequently have to screens open and I check the photo's side by side without the interference of a bezel (before and after). I drive the monitor with 2 1080 gtxfw in SLI mode and I don't have a lag and it is very fast. We all get to the same place but take a different route.

Much good advice here. I have an ASUS 1920 x 1200 monitor and I really love the extra vertical room for the 'filmstrip' etc. I am in the process of moving and it is packed away, and I miss it a lot. If you can't afford 4K, then consider a 1920 x 1200 (16:10) monitor.

Get a 4K one, 27"+ should be good. Then copy & resize images to screen pixel count. Look just as good on the TV then.

I have IIyama Prolite 24" HDTV 2K and had no problems with that. I'll replace with same brand when the time comes.

I have two (2) Asus 27" monitors and they are GREAT for my Photoshop post work. Next year if I have enough funds I'll go for a couple of 32"er's but cost jumps up quite a bit at 32" for decent quality. The 27"s gives me plenty of work space, though. But always seem to want LARGER!

I have a 21--my wife has a 27, and I'm jealous. Go big.


HaHa...must be a trend...I use the 27" & he is forced to use the 21" (which seemed big at the time). As soon as I'm away from the 27", he's on it ('cause he's jealous!). BIG is definitely better, especially for editing pictures!

There are lots of things that can determine the quality of a monitor. For photo editing, I would suggest looking at a 27" monitor. I've had one for a few years, moving up from a 19". There is no comparison. The more important issue would be the video card in the computer. Couple a decent video card with a quality monitor and you'd do quite well.

Bob:
Since you brought it up, what would you consider to be a "decent video card".

LG 34" ultrawide at work and 29" ultrawide at home. Both rock.
