--yeah it's up to each software to decide to support enlargement functions for UI elements etc...and they don't all do it well

--Really? I didn't know that. The perils of being an early adopter, I guess.

--yeah the problem with 4K res is that OS's and software are still pretty shitty at handling them, so everything is tiiiiiiiny on screen. Really can be annoying
23 Jul 08:37
--So I can choose what I want to use rather than having my OS dictated by the software I need to run my hardware LOL.

--I think part of the reason that Multisync I linked too is cheaper now is 'cause monitor tech is going towards high resolutions now. 4K is on its way.

--yep, ah but I see the Nec comes with it's own calibration device...that's cool
23 Jul 08:35
--yep, it seems to have some good reviews. I personally would prefer a higher res than a fullHD screen as well at that price, but it won't hold you back really

--I liked the look of the Eizos, but unfortunately they aren't compatible with Linux, not the free versions anyway. I'd have to use Windows (which is plan B I guess, but I wanted to try an open-source workflow).

--colour calibration and creating a colour critical workflow does my head in. It can get really complicated working for print sometimes
23 Jul 08:25
--colour gamut is basically the range of colours that can be reproduced by a screen. sRGB is the lowest standard these days, adobeRGB is much broader than sRGB so is called wide gamut. Most screens will have a % rating. so 100% AdobeRGB means it can handle the entire colour space
23 Jul 08:23
--yeah totally, it makes life much easier. You can always go to a 27 or 30 inch QHD or UHD :) That's like having two screens in one
23 Jul 08:22
--You won't find any wide gamut screens below about 700US unless they are second hand. That's actually a good way of getting a cheaper decent screen, if you are careful about it.

--I was just after extra screen real estate - tired of pushing windows around on a single screen.
23 Jul 08:20
--As long as the ref isn't colour critical and you have it on a shitty second screen haha. That has caused me issues in the past :)

--There are some Dell's in the same budget that you should check out as well.

--The Nec seems decent mech. Haven't seen indepth specific reviews on the adobeRGB gamut on it but the summary ones seem fairly good
23 Jul 08:17
--I'd love to have two screens someday, it would be great to have one as a painting workspace and the other for ref or whatever.
