Best Color Accurate Monitors for Creatives in 2022 | What to Look For!

Have you ever colour graded a clip or edited a photo just to transfer it to your phone and realize that it looks completely different than it did on your computer monitor? As a creative and photographer having a monitor with accurate colours is critical. In this video, I break down the three main specs you should be looking for when buying a new computer monitor, how they all affect the colours in your display, as well as, suggest a few monitors that are great for creatives who are looking for colour calibrated accurate displays. My suggestions are below!

My 27" (2017) iMac (I have to edit videos on an external hard drive), but I just purchased a Mac Studio M2 and am looking for a monitor that I can afford that isn't so cheap it won't honor the beast of a computer I just bought! So, here I am trying to find a monitor that will serve it for a year or two before upgrading to the Apple Studio monitor. I'm trying to figure out if this BenQ 2700U was replaced by the 2705U or 2706U. Does anyone know? Thanks for the review.

This is very helpful. I have the BenQ 2725 on the way, an Apple Studio 27" in a box next to me (kind of wish you threw this in the comparison), and I'm watching this video on the ViewSonic VP2786 4k. The sRGB is really nice, especially recording music in Logic Pro. I do wish you included it's specs just as a baseline by wish so many people know. Notwithstanding, great video! I learned a lot. Thank you!

[@EugWanker]

Specs are fine, but don't always represent real world quality. I bought an Asus ProArt PA329CV 32" 4K monitor with ∆E < 2, 100% sRGB, and 100% Rec 709. Just eyeballing it, colours seemed fine, but it suffered bad backlight bleed on one side, which basically made it a non-starter. I then bought a Huawei MateView 28.2" 4K+ 3840x2560 monitor with ∆E < 2, 100% sRGB, and 98% DCI-P3. Despite the claim of ∆E < 2, out-of-the-box the colours were clearly off. So I bought a calibrator and recalibrated it, and the colours look great now, with none of the horrible backlight bleeding the Asus ProArt had. The calibration software says it indeed is 100% sRGB, but DCI-P3 is 96%.

[@gerrypi51]

What do you think about ASUS OLED ROG Swift PG42UQ (price ca. 1400.-): 4K, Delta

[@EugWanker]

@@gerrypi51 Sorry, I can't answer your questions about that since 1) I haven't used that monitor, and 2) I am not a video editor. The main point of my post was just to say paper specs often don't reflect real world performance.

@@StefanoLombardoYT ☺️Why do you say in that video that it is useless to calibrate cheap TVs or monitors because they cannot give all the color of the content that is being sent or viewed? If I calibrate my $200 TV, will it not look the same as an $800 or more? I don't understand? my wii u gamepad with tn panel, lcd is calibrated and it is 2012 and the colors look better than on my 2017 tv, it goes, 8 bit, led, the lighting unless I put my gamma, backlight, contrast to the maximum they do not resemble the wii u gamepad. what I mean is that by calibrating the screens you can see the colors and the content as it was made. I suppose that with the calibration the delta e will be balanced, right? Or is it mandatory to buy expensive screens because a 2012 screen cannot be seen better than these new TVs.

[@NewPhoto]

One of the best videos on this subject, but there should be a few clarifications: 1. Some important properties of pro monitors usually don't show up on spec sheets, such as monitor uniformity and edge bleeding which is common on lower-end monitors. 2. You mentiond a monitor covering 100% Srgb, 98%Argb, but not REC709. I guess they just didn't put it on the spec sheet since rec709 is very similiar gamit to Srgb, so that monitor definatly covers it. 3. Something not a lot of reviewers mention is that if most of your work is being published online and you don't do your own printing, you are probably good enough with Srgb coverage, no need to worry much about Argb. Also you can get pretty decnt Srgb coverage and even 100% sometimes on pretty simple monitors with calibration, so at a pinch, getting a 200$ calibration device could improve your existing monitor's performance alot. Still, very informative and useful, keep it up! 👍🏽

[@photography3777]

Very interesting tips, thank you very much! I have a question though. When you say "and you don't do your own printing, you are probably good enough with Srgb coverage, no need to worry much about Argb.", do you mean that if I send pictures I edited in SRGB to a print lab, they will convert it to ARGB for me and make sure it is converted properly? Or do you just mean that I don't need to worry about it because I'll never print, and so will never need ARGB?

[@Madman_picman]

Great video. I am in the middle of looking up monitors that are suited for photo editing and have come across the asus proart pa279crv. It seems to tick the box for me, just need find it at a good price somewhere. I am starting to print a little more often and want to get the most out of it so i am upgrading my monitor. So much to think about. 😄🙂

[@mcipovic]

You should included Eizo monitors in the lists. Those displays are way more expensive but for a reason as well. Uniformity on those displays are far better than in BenQ displays. Also they are industry standards in print as well.

[@AbdoAchtioui]

Nice video, I have BenQ PD2700U it's a great monitor and my only complaining is the downsize of the UI and menus & icons are very small size in some creator apps like 3ds Max/ Maya..etc, I don't have that issue with Adobe apps, Thanks for the vid.

[@StefanoLombardoYT]

That's actually not a problem with the monitor. It is 4K so you will have smaller icons and UI, but also more screen real estate! If you go into your display settings on your laptop or computer, you can change the screen resolution or the size of UI!

I have worked from my apple laptop and pc desktop, each have different results and neither are close. Would one of the less expensive monitors help?

[@user-co2kc7yz1s]

Hi, Are the monitors you mentioned all OLED monitors? Also what happens if you edit from OLED monitors, how will the colors be when you view them on other displays? Such as TFT, Super Clear LCD, PLS IPS, Super Clear LCD, Super AMOLED, will it still look nice on those displays?

[@Jakepf]

Just FYI blue light doesn't cause eye strain. It's actually because your eyes are focusing at a single close distance for a long time. It requires your eye muscles to work harder to hold focus because of how close it is. That's why eyes become strained from phones and computers of the like.

[@creativetom413]

Hey Is a 10 bit monitor a need in color grading ? Also am considering pd2700Q ( which is the only 10 bit monitor and the cheapest of the 3 ) , PD 2705Q ( which is the updated version of pd2700q & apparently 8bit ) And Asus Proart Pa278Qv ... Which should I buy ?

[@SusannahPerri]

Hi, the difference you may notice with 8 bit vs. 10 bit color is the smoothness in color gradations, as there are billions of colors displayed in 10 bit. If you are a designer or photo editor you will probably appreciate having a 10 bit monitor.

YMMV, but on a Mac, I didn't like 32" 4K (138 ppi) for text. Scaled text was all blurry, and gave me a headache. I like 27" 4K or 28" 4K+ (both 164 ppi). Scaled text looks very good and no headaches. 27" 5K (218 ppi) is even better for scaled text, but the options are pretty limited and it's very expensive. Also, strangely enough, the 2304xXXXX scaled resolution I prefer for 27/28" in macOS is available on 4K/4K+ monitors, but not 5K monitors.

I was looking at a couple of ASUS ProArt displays because of various reviews, but they generally have poor user reviews on Amazon, especially from Mac users (the need for firmware upgrades that could only be done with the use of a PC, really bad ASUS tech support)... so I'm looking elsewhere.Seems like review sites are just looking at specs and not actually using the displays they recommend... or maybe their IT person sets up the display for the review. I'm my own IT person, and don't need the headaches it looks like ASUS put the Amazon reviewers thru.

I opened it on a Samsung phone, a Samsung tablet and on a calibrated ViewSonic studio display. Unfortunately even with photographers most and by most I mean 95% of users by crap displays or an Apple display which is also bad. You need to buy a display capable of displaying as wide a gamut as possible then calibrate it, then control your color management in you video or image editing application ans stop working in a dark environment, you are not a bat.
