Higher resolution monitor's for editing
Jan 18, 2019 10:34:55 #
I have a D850. Which gets you 8256 x 5504 pixels.
Does anyone know what the relationship is of viewing and editing these images on a computer monitor that has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 as opposed to using an 8K system which would have a resolution of 7680 x 4320. Dell is starting to come out with these specs but the systems are pretty expensive.
Does that mean you will be able to see more detail in your photos?
Does it really matter?

Probably.
To some, but not to me.

A pixel is a pixel ...
When viewed at 100%, your 1920x1200 screen shows you a crop of 1920x1200 pixels, just a smaller percentage of the larger 8256 x 5504 image than say a 1920x1200 crop of an 6000x4000 image. An image sized to exactly 1920x1200-pixels will display at 100% (no further cropping / no further zoom) on your 1920x1200 screen. Obviously, you can go beyond 100%, but there is no more detail to be seen beyond 100%.

No and NO

You can see all the details in the photo with monitor at any resolution if you're willing to see only a portion of the image at a time. If you want to see the entire image you will need a monitor with the same number of pixels or more than your image to see all the details.

To most of us the word CROP means to select an area that is less than the whole image, throwing away part of the image. The monitor is displaying every 1/nth pixel representing the whole image.

Yes, you will see more detail IF your lenses are sharp enough.
No, a 4K or 5K display is not going matter much when it comes to editing. And generally speaking, the font scaling still isn't quite right, so you end up elements on your desktop that are either too small or too large.
I am still using a pair of 1920x1280 displays - which gives me 3840x1280 resolution, and I have a much wider desktop area than any single 4K or 5K display - and the fonts look just fine to these 67 yr old eyes.

I use a 4k monitor on my main computer that is used for photo editing. My back up computer has a 1920x1280 monitor. When the same image is viewed on either monitor the 4K shows significant more detail.
In my unprofessional opinion I believe an 8K monitor would show significantly more detail than 4K assuming the image had sufficient resolution and the video card supported 8K. Although editing in 8K would tax even the fastest computers.
I don't think 8K is ready for prime time. Currently even 4k has limited applications as many editing and broadcast programs don't yet support it.

You should look into getting a BenQ photo editing monitor. I have one and it is great.
They make several different ones.
Check out the videos below. There is also the info and reviews of these monitors online.

One more thing, you need to make sure that your video care supports a higher resolution monitor.
