I have been using an ASUS gaming monitor for long enough, but wanted something more photography orientated. It's the same old thing of only having two out of the three options. You can have it good, you can have it cheap, you can have it quick. Just two, not all three. Or can you?!
Monitors are or can be very expensive and indeed this PA27UCGE can be found for £650.
What I liked about it - its colour accuracy. Wide 98% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB gamut.
160Hz variable refresh rate means games are not the end of the world.
Built-in colorimeter supports Self / Auto calibration
Those three things made it a top choice for me. It came in the manufacturers packaging, and it is well packaged. Setting up was a doddle, just needed to select DP input instead of HDMI. The monitor seems dull at first, but I think that is just a hangover on my part and more apparent when looking at websites. Images are a different kettle of fish. The details and colours are so much better now. I really think it will help my editing.
It is early days, and I am very happy and would recommend it if you are looking for a good photo monitor that can be used for just about anything. Jack of all trades maybe?
