Q about working with 2 monitors

[oceans68]

modeling in 3ds max. rendering with vray and corona.

 

doing a little bit post production for the final rendering in photoshop.

 

currently working on 2 old 19" monitors samsung 971P.

 

looking to replace them to 24" or 27" dell monitors.

 

my question is is better? budget wise.

 

two 24" monitors that support 99% sRGB color gamut? is modeling in 2560x 1440 resolution is reasonaable?

with 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz resolution.

 

what would you prefer? are you working in high res workspace? like 2560x 1440?

 

thanks.

The 24" monitors. You'll see more screen real estate at that resolution.

I use a 4k 28" asus monitor as main screen, and a 1080 17" as the auxiliar.

I personally would prefer 2x 24" - aslong as both monitors are the same you will not get much difference between the two/easier to calibrate.

 

If color is somewhat important, then go with the 99% srgb (there are better color models than this however this should be enough for most jobs especially if the print press uses srgb profiles - most do these days for simplicity). Regardless of what monitor you have the colors drift over time, if you are producing color accurate work I would definitely get a hardware spider/xrite to make sure your screens are calibrated correctly. Dells are damn good for their price in my opinion.
