While the answer to that is yes, 1080p is fast becoming obsolete as a standard.1080p resolution monitor will do the job.
I think Dell UP3216Q is a good monitor.I don't think Win10 offers split DPI support.
FWIW: Dustin Abbott recently reviewed the BenQ SW271 monitor.
I do not own an iMac so can you tell me if the Calibrated option is one that you created or one that came with the monitor? Calibration software usually allows you to name the calibration when the puck is finished.This is a great thread-thank you. Was trying to learn the best settings for a 27"iMac Retina display. There are 14 options from "iMac" to sRGB IEC61966-2.1. What would you suggest for Lightroom use? Ok, anyone answers, after checking "Show profiles for this display only" the options are iMac, iMac Calibrated and iMac Calibrated-2" a bit more limiting. Any suggestions? Thank you-
Lightroom uses ProPhotoRGB for a working color profile. Apple's current displays can display a larger envelop than ProPhotoRGB. Set the display to "Display P3" to get the most colors that your display can produce. In terms of the largest gamut available , " Display P3" is the largest, Some monitors can approach "wide-gamut RGB" , Next in area covered would be ProPhotoRGB, then Adobe RGB, then the smallest envelop sRGB.What would you suggest for Lightroom use?

Huh? I assume you mean can't. There is no display in the world that can show all the colors of ProPhotoRGB and there never will be, because ProPhotoRGB even has some colors outside of the human vision. That doesn't really matter however, because your camera can't produce these colors either.Apple's current displays can display a larger envelop than ProPhotoRGB
. Yes you are right, trying to post from memory rather than exampleHuh? I assume you mean can't.

I did not calibrate. That is just one of the three options so i suppose I'd have to calibrate then name. I was just wondering what setting REGB,SRGB ,Adobe works best with LIghtroom .
A related question. I have a ASUS ProArt and Epson XP-15000 Printer. I'm very happy with this setup since my prints represent what I see on the monitor. Is there a consideration of a better monitor which shows more color than a printer can reproduce or is that what Soft Proofing covers? I guess this also talks to what the monitor shows and what technology you will exhibit on.I don't print a lot
At least in theory a wide monitor plus soft proofing gives you more ability to see what a printer can print if the printer can render colors outside the sRGB gamut. But most printers and soft proofing is pretty far from perfect and I would think this would mostly be lost in the details. Since a printed page is viewed by reflected light, and a screen by projected light, they are inherently different. But yes, a wide monitor has more ability to display soft proofing than a narrow.A related question. I have a ASUS ProArt and Epson XP-15000 Printer.

It took me a day to refine my thought. It seems to me that there is a correlation between the quality of the monitor needed and how you will present your pictures. For example, for the OP, it sounds like the lowest common denominator here is presenting on the web. In mind it's printing.my photos are mostly displayed on my monitor, my HD TV, and other friend's monitors via the web. I don't print a lot
I am reminded of the words, "the more I learn the less I know". It is a matter of personal expectations and understanding the limits of display medium. What is important to you and how much effort do you want to put into attempting to get the results that you wish to achieve? I appreciate a good monitor screen and a good print, but I am also aware that much of the world looks at images on their phones for maybe a few seconds at most. I can control how my images should look, but I cannot control how others view them, so I try not to drive myself crazy about it.It took me a day to refine my thought.

I'm reminded of the early days of radio where engineers would do a final mix of a song based on how it sounded on a single typical speaker found in an automobile. It didn't matter how good it sounded from the actual studio recording but what the audience was using to listen to it.
I've also heard rumors about people with Retina displays being disappointed with comparative prints.
Is there an issue here of diminishing returns on monitor quality based on chosen presentation medium?
One thing I've learned but still refuse to readily accept is this: There is no "right".What is important to you and how much effort do you want to put into attempting to get the results that you wish to achieve?
Paul, just ordered XP - 15000 from B&H. I have LR standalone last ver. 6.14. Will I be able to see Epson generic paper profiles under other and use LR for printing not printer mang with LR6.14 and this Epson printer ? Curious if you used this printer with LR 6.14 and were able to print this way in LR with it ?A related question. I have a ASUS ProArt and Epson XP-15000 Printer.
