Oh my gosh. Buy a Eizo CG-line monitor if you're shopping at this price. Built in hardware calibration and very good gray uniformity. No, not 5k but quite frankly I don't have a preference between UHD and 2560x1440 for photography, video and general use. True colors reign.
- closetohome 5y agoIf all you want is a low-resolution monitor with good color calibration you can pick up an old Cinema Display for a couple hundred bucks that will do the same thing.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoNot really. Those things were TN and they had CCFL backlight which yellows over time.
- closetohome 5y agoYou must be thinking of another brand. Apple has never sold a Cinema Display with a TN panel, and the later ones were LED backlit.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoReally? I thought IPS didn't even exist in those days. But I still doubt they manage the same quality and colour depth as a current midrange display. I have some old Eizos from that era and they're no match for my 200 euro 4K LG. They weren't IPS though but PVA..
- pxmpxm 5y agoThe original cinema ones were IPS with ccfl that get hot enough to cook with.
- washadjeffmad 5y agoWhen we replaced all of our Cinema displays and 2010-2012 iMacs, the next big request that followed was for space heaters.
- pxmpxm 5y agoI believe that, I had two of the 30in variety (150w a pop) - in the summer I had to run a fan across them to not feel like a rotisserie chicken.
- unicornporn 5y agoI'm not sure you know how built-in hardware calibration works. A built-in arm on the CG swings out at a set interval and automatically creates a LUT for the screen.
- headhuntermdk 5y agoNot sure why you are being downvoted. I purchased a Eizo CS monitor and I couldn't be happier
- fomine3 5y agoFor coding, I'd take high resolution than accurate color, without thinking. So it depends on use case.
- arvinsim 5y agoSo 5k2k or 8k?
- fomine3 5y agoIt's difficult question. Assume 5k2k 40inch (U4021QW) vs 8K 32inch (almost same height); 5k2k is great aspect ratio for single monitor setup, but dpi is moderate. 8k 32inch is too much dpi for 200% HiDPI. 8k 40inch is sweet spot for 200% but it's too big for monitor. Maybe I'd take 8K 32inch and use with 250% HiDPI, if prices are same.
