I'm looking to buy a new monitor, I'm no means a photographer and I don't edit pictures or videos but I do prefer to see nice images and play games at 60Hz 10 bit screen color correction an IPS panel rather than on TN. What I basically would like to know is would there be a big difference in imagine quality in a 4k IPS panel with 8 bit colors vs a 4k IPS panel with 10 bit colors? I'm confused and not really educated in this but I 10 bit screen color correction like to see great quality pictures and colors.
In order for you to see any difference the displayed image itself needs to be encoded in 10bit or more. At this point virtually all images and videos are 8 bit. I don't think many any? My new 4k monitor is a 10bit panel, in general usage I've not noticed any difference that's jumped out at me.
For really good colors, don't buy that. Not just that, the GPU needs to be able to output 10bit too. A color meter will make the colors more consistent, but not necessarily noticeably better. Since the goal is not to create content a color meter seems 10 bit screen color correction a waste of money.
Even on my viewsonic TN gaming panels I see a noticable difference in color and contrast but I do agree with you that a good monitor to start with is key before considering a color meter. Currently I would point to 27" or so p Dell Ultrasharp.
Those are pretty cheap these days and most of them have amazing colors right out the box. I pretty much agree with noenken: Ultrasharps are cheap and supposed to be good I've never had one thoughand p is frankly enough at 27''. I've been using 10 bit screen color correction for professional photography work and it's almost completely sufficient if you zoom and work on photo at 1: A p or p 4k IPS of any sort with calibration is already complete overkill.
Most peoples eye's need calibration at this point. Well the max price that I would pay for 2 monitors would be USD. So what monitor around to USD would you guys recommend? I see so what monitor would 10 bit screen color correction recommend around to USD that you'd consider high quality?
Also catsay knows shit. Colour depth shouldn't affect black levels, that's more dependant on the type of Panel. Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but what GPU are u using cause as far as i know gaming gpus nvidia, dont know if AMD dont have 10bit output enabled. They reserve this feature for pro grade cards like quadro. Overall its more dependent on quality, type of panel, nits of brightness and polarizer.
Okay, I find them blacks being most troublesome like the colors could be better by dialing more gamma so the picture is similar to some fresh vibrant tattoo, but then its impossible to play games like that, and have to dial it back to washed watercolors.
I'm confused and not really educated in this but I do like to see great quality pictures and colors I'm looking to buy two of these: Save the money on 10 bit and buy a color meter instead.
I'd just go with a good IPS monitor. Do you know any good 4k IPS monitors at a decent price? Also thanks for the replies. 10 bit screen color correction you recommend any good 4k IPS monitor?
Do you have any good ones in mind? It is pretty simple: I am ignoring other specs and features here 10 bit screen color correction purpose Currently I would point to 27" or so p Dell Ultrasharp. Since you obviously can't be bothered to google for two seconds Dell UH You're welcome. It's really just for professionals. Listen to this man. He knows what's what. You wont regret it.
