Had mine for just over a year and absolutely love it. I am not a Pro but longtime Photo enthusiast.

I have had the 18-300mm Nikon lense for 2 years now and the D7500 for 10 months. It is a great lens and works super with the D7500. Pic's are tack sharp and can hand hold with High ISO's no problem. The lense is a bit big if street photography is your thing but otherwise a great choice.

Buy on specifications. You need a monitor with front panel calibration controls that is capable of displaying 100% of the sRGB ICC color space, and preferably 99% of ADOBE RGB space. Beyond that, IPS is nice. LED Illumination is pretty standard now.

JUST as important as having a good monitor is using a good hardware and software calibration and profiling kit, at least monthly. X-Rite and DataColor make them. Do a search here for monitor calibration and profiling for more information.

Good color relies on a SYSTEM that includes the camera raw profile, accurate white balance, a good monitor, monitor calibration, image adjustment, and soft proofing. If you print, use the right ICC profile for your paper/ink/printer model combination.

The calibration kit will help you lower the brightness of a monitor into the range that matches normal print viewing conditions. It linearizes the RGB color channels, so you see neutrals as truly neutral. Then it creates a custom ICC profile that helps your color engine (Adobe, or Apple, or Microsoft...) match the monitor response to what’s really in your files.

It sounds far more complicated than it is.

Thanks for the input. Do they have monitirs that have calibration software capabilities built in?

Wow thanks for all that concise info. I have only just heard of BenQ as a suggestion and will look into it.

I would like to stay about no more than $300 but you can guess what that really means if there was something absolutely worth it.

Hello All.
I am a new user but have received wonderful insight on a number topics discussed here and hope you can help. I was hoping some of you could recomend a monitor good for doing post production on images. I am just now retired and using Lightroom and Photoshop to clean up several scanned images of slides and snapshots from years past (and some new). While they look great on my Seiki 4k TV monitor and my 2 (very old) square Dell monitors (I have the 3 connected) they disapoint when I try and have prints made. The prints (from Costco) come out very dark and lacking the punch of color that I am seeing on screen. Since one of my old Dell monitors just gave out I thought I would ask for suggestions on a replacement. I think I need to stop cleaning up images using the TV monitor and use a well calibrated Photo editing monitor (hopefully one that isn't insanely priced). Any suggestions?
