I'm looking to upgrade to a 4k monitor. Dell has now on sale the U2720Q which has decent specs.

Does anybody use this monitor? What's your impression?

Thanks for your help,

Sam

Hi Sam,

It a good monitor, but perhaps spend a bit more and get a more outstanding monitor. The ASUS ProArt PA32UC. https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/ProArt-PA32UC/

"ProArt PA32UC achieves wide color coverage to exceed industry standards by delivering 85% Rec. 2020, 99.5% Adobe RGB, 95% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB. It features 14-bit color graphics to display more than 1.07 billion colors. It also uses a 14-bit internal lookup table and supports Gamma values of 2.6, 2.4, 2.2, 2.0, and 1.8 to produce natural-looking images with smoother transitions between hues."

If you process RAW using ProPhoto RGB, then you will love this monitor since it covers 85% of the Rec. 2020 color gamut. It covers all of the aRGB and sRBG gamuts. See image below. To do really better will cost buying a $4K+ monitor. Oh yes, B&H has a deal on buying a pair of them (which I am seriously thinking about doing to replace my 2K 32" Samsung monitors).
