Pancho Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So far I always used two 24" 1.920x1.200 screens for my work. Both monitors where hardware calibrated. An Eizo screen with 1920x1200 (24") or 2560x1440 (27") is around 1.200-1.800€. There's also a UHD (24") at 2.200€, but with an active cooler (fan) which doesn't seem to be silent . All not cheap, but all hardware color calibrated. THe Eizo UHD screens (31") which can be hardware calibrated are above 4.500€. For a monitor, especially a dual monitor set up far too much. I wonder whether something like an UHD (31") Eizo EcoView with a color profile would come close to a hardware calibrated monitor. Would two 31" screens be too large? Is 27" the way to go? What about 40" or 55"? Anybody using any of these? A wall mounted 55" screen could eliminate a huge desk, since a mouse, keyboard and 3dconnexion would require only a very small table (if at all). What would be the drawback of a huge screen? Any input highly appreciated! Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancho Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 P.S.: Do you consider UHD even neccessary? While I agree that it appears much crisper on the screen, is there an actual advantage? Even if you edit 4k, is it important to see it in 4k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstantin magnus Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 If you need 4K I would not take any screen smaller than 27". And on a dual monitor setup I would not take anything bigger than 27" either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancho Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 I did have a look yesterday at OLED TVs in 55 and 65". That's far beyond anything I could imagine, compared to what I'm used to. Though I did read that OLEDs would have a limited life span and tend to burn in. So I guess running Houdini for endless hours could leave some marks on this kind of screen. Don't know whether this is true or not. And then there is a lag of a few ms, compared to smaller monitors. I guess glasses ala Oculus Rift aren't no option yet. Would have hope for a new approach instead of going with two regular screens again. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancho Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 P.S.: For now I'll give a UHD 31" Eizo a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancho Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Already giving it a try. UHD on 31" in front of your face = stunning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
