HELP Choosing a monitor for video editing

[yannis.zach]

Hi guys,

 

I need some help please: I'm between 2 monitors for video editing:

- Dell U2711, &,

- Asus PB278Q.

 

If anyone has experience from both monitors, so he has a more accurate knowledge on both of them, I will really appreciate his opinion. BUT, anyone has to suggest one of them (with facts of course), I will of course appreciate all opinions.

 

Also, I will need a monitor calibrator, a cheap one is preferred, so opinions/advices onto this too please.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Kind Regards,

Ioannis.

Why not buy a good TV for video editing. TVs are made for showing video.

Don't buy a TV. The Dell UltraSharp series are great. Covers a huge range of color gamut. They're screen doesn't glare, and the viewing angles are superb.

I agree, I bought the dell myself and a color munki. It's a decent poor man's grading setup if calibrated correctly.
