Fooch Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I recommend dell U2713H, or the older U2711 IPS adobe rgb or srgb calibration All main workstations have these in our studio so the colours all match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Im afraid b uying amonitor qwont fix your problem. Best you can do is calibrate your own monitor and tell you client that theirs is wrong. Or you could buy your client a monitor also and calibrate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyderSK Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 The Apple Cinema are indeed nice monitors, but above mentioned Dell U2711 actually uses newer panel, the older 2713 had the same. AppleCinema is super glossy to point it's imho unusable for regular 3D work, 2713 is kinda too matte and slightly blurry and 2711 is the best deal imho. It currently comes with few versions, for both 8bit and 10bit if I am correct. We have the cheapest 2711 and it is amazing even compared to my older 2413, which doesn't have LED but have ultra-wide gammut which I can't utilize anyhow since all I do is web-based, thus srgb only. The Asus seems good choice too, and is mostly personal choice whether you prefer Asus or more traditional Dell. The revies seem to favour Dell a bit more though, mostly for more uniform light and no color cast. On other hand :- D I feel the pain of knowing clients will look at out pictures on some ridicolously trash monitor and comment how it lacks contrast or is too blue...

Dimitris Tolios Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Think you took 2711 (older, non LED backlit, same IPS panel) for the newer 2713 (same panel, newer LED backlit, better color profiles). Fast and quick: IPS is an LG pattent. All true IPS panels are LG panels. Technically all 1440p 27" monitors other than the Samsung ones are based on the same LG IPS panel, including the Apple Cinemadisplay 27, the iMacs 27, the Dell 2711 & 2713 etc. The 24" Dells with 1920x1200 (16:10) IPS panels are also great. With Dell names, the first 2 digits are usually inches, the last 2 are generation or succession. 2410 older than 2413, both 24" etc. Usually there are 2x models, the M or HM after the model # is usually indicating a 8bit LUT, the numbers with no following letters or now with an H are usually 10/12bit - i.e. 2713H > 2713HM (same panel, H has more rgb coverage) I also like the 24" IPS from Asus, which also offers 4x USB 3.0 hub (dells offer USB 2.0 and usually a card reader). I have the 2711 and I am very happy with it. People complain about the anti-glare coating being aggressive, I actually preffer it over reflections and glare, as I use it with my back against a large window. The resolution is great, but it takes some time to warm up. Glossy or glass covered screens are inferior to actually work with for my taste, even if those look more impressive and classy (guess what apple uses and why). Newer LED monitors by Dell have more consistent backlit and all LEDs get to operating temperatures within a couple of minutes. EDIT: also Proffessional use says nothing. If color consistency is what you are after, nothing can beat even a cheap colorimeter / calibrator. Invest $100-200 in one, and even cheap TN panels will look better than "professional" labeled panels. All screens "change" with age, and demanding pros calibrate their equipment every couple of months if they really care about consistency. No built in color profile can beat that, as your monitor ages and changes from what it was. LED gives you better tolerance, but before that even during the same day you could see differences in un-conditioned spaces as the CRT tubes or backlit tubes would get warmer over the span of a day.
