...yes, that's the one with Adobe Color gamut. The others are GW2765's...all are performing with greatness.


Good to know, thanks.
I’ve been looking hard at that one, top of my list because of the good aRGB output.
Seems like a lot of dead pixel reviews, guess you’ve not had any of that.

Goofy, I have this one bookmarked and thought it to be the one I might get as my next one - as it had been recommended from somewhere - I cannot remember exactly where tho - https://www.amazon.com/Dell-SE2717HX-RVJXC-Full-Monitor/dp/B01LXTK4T6

..


Look carefully at the specifications. For photo and video editing, it is best to have a monitor that can display 100% of the sRGB color gamut, and 99% or more of the Adobe RGB color gamut.

10-bit monitors are better than 8-bit monitors, IF your computer supports 10-bit video output. The difference is the capability to display subtle tonal differences when editing raw images or 10-bit video.

Thanks.
The color gamut is why the BenQ tops my short list. Will check other spec’s.

I might also be helpful if you indicate your basic system information and your budget. I wouldn't mind a $5k Eizo, but I won't ever buy one.

I’m going to take the computer in and have the IT guys go through it (updates and remove the admin lock). They’re pretty savvy about what I can run on it.

BenQ photography monitors are excellent and a fraction of the price of Eizo.

+1
Also, be sure your video card is up to task. On some high end monitors, you may have to upgrade your video card as well

Didn't say if you wanted HD or 4K?

I was about to buy an LG 32" 4K when HP released its Z32 a few wqeeks ago. I might have been among the first to get one but very happy. Color perfect for my needs (Lightroom, Photoshop, Programming), Heavy-duty stand, USB hub. I got from B&H Photo and it arrived undamaged (always a good thing). https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1410160-REG/hp_hp_z32_31_5_4k.html
