4K monitor

Unless you are a gamer...you do not actually need 4k for photo editing...there is no alarming difference that will show up...you yourself can't really see the difference in a monitor. Even some gamers will opt out higher res for speed.
Very large TV screens benefit from it...but not monitors.
I have had both 1080...1440 and 4k.
I ended up at 1440...cannot see any difference in my 32" monitors.

I was thinking the same thing but it might not be prudent to go there. Keven wants a 4K monitor. Whether he needs it doesn’t matter.

Tracy, how do you like the curved monitor?
Are there any distortions with the curved monitor?
I'm really interested in the opinion of folks who actually have curved monitors and lived with them.
I hope that this is just another relevant question added to the original questions as I do not wish to hijack this thread.

Kevin, another possibility is looking at higher end used monitors available in your local area. They depreciate quivkly but you want you see them in use before pulling the trigger.
Thanks !

I just purchased this a few weeks ago. This is a great monitor.

Thanks. That monitor is a VA panel which gives me something to consider. The curved panel is to keep the angle of view consistent if I’m not mistaken

Check out the BenQ line of monitors.
Will do although I suspect they will be out of my budget range

Kent. The specs on your proposed monitor are nearly identical to Tracy's, except for the screen curve. It is 10 bit color and 99% gamut coverage. Double check the return policy in case you dont like it.
Thanks yes I’ve been looking at that this morning

No worries Jimmy. I am interested in that too. From what I’ve read the curves monitor is to compensate for viewing angle. I’m not a gamer so most of my viewing will be straight ahead. Still I’m interested in this concept.

This analysis looks like while IPS is better for gaming VA is just as good or better for photo editing. Unless you edit at mind numbing speed? My mind is numb enough, thank you.
I’m in agreement Jack. One thing is that the contrast of the VA screens is way better than IPS as a general rule of thumb. It appears IPS wins on color gamut

I am looking to buy a new 4K monitor for photo editing and would prefer a 32” screen instead of 27. I currently am using a 10 year old Dell 24” My main computer is a Dell XPS 13 with a 4K display. Trying to do this on a lower cost budget. I’ve found the following on sale.
It is a VA display instead of IPS. Ive read pros and cons on this. Does anyone have experience with this model or VA displays in general? If not this monitor then I’m open to suggestions. Thanks

There is some basic information here. A brief perusal makes me think worrying about which type is like splitting hairs.

I’m not an expert on monitors and resolution which is why I’m soliciting advice 😎. I can only go on my experience. The 4K 13” screen on my Dell XPS13 is by far the best viewing experience I’ve ever had on a laptop it blows away every laptop Ive ever had. This includes 4 year old MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. My assumption is that this would be the same for a 32” monitor. This could be untrue and I just don’t know it. I do know if you compare the pixel density on a 32” screen at different resolutions the 4K will have the highest density. I’m not sure how this will relate to photo processing though.
This is a dumb question but In your use of different resolution monitors all of 32” does your video driver and card support 4K display? Thanks for your help

It’s ok to go there but someone would need to educate me on why a lower resolution monitor beats a 4K monitor. I’m all ears!
