Re: [Digital BW] Display brightness

I've been pretty impressed and have had zero problems with an Eizo EV3237 I bought a few months ago. It's an 80cm 4k monitor that covers the full sRGB gamut. However, you'll need a video card with a DisplayPort 1.2 connector to get 4k resolution at 60Hz - you can get full resolution over HDMI or DVI, but only at 30Hz, which I find rather tiring on the eyes.

Hi Mr.Brubaker


That's what I thought; actually the "full range" must come when you use the dreaded Color Sync profiling done just looking at the screen and evaluate with your eyes what's best!?!

Since I always worked with two displays, I'll look for a second monitor coming from Eizo; at least I'll have some controls to play with.

Apple has no monitors able to compete with high end ones; actually the only offer they have, aside iMacs, is a 27" screen similar to the 27" iMac.

I worked on profiling my son's Mac some years ago and ran into the issue that Apple didn't have a full range of controls for its monitors. That really surprised me since the Macs have such a reputation for being graphics pro machines. If I was buying new I sure wouldn't choose a Mac monitor that didn't have the needed controls. I imagine the pros use the high bit depth monitors costing into the several thousands. I'm not sure if Apple has any monitors that compete in that arena.
