Monitor DELL P2415Q, 23.8", IPS, UHD 4K (3840x2160)
I am a poorfag and thinking off buying this 23.8" monitor, but common sense tells me that its not worth having so many dots on such a small monitor.
Your thoughts???
>>53809599
If it's for graphics design I'd say you should get a bigger monitor.
Even a 1440P 27" one would be better than a 4K 23" one.
a serious monitor needs to be hardware calibrated, 4k ones that are able to do that are really expensive
look at the dell 2516D, the max bang/buck in terms of color accuracy atm, get a little x-rite with it and you're set
>>53809637
k thanks, but hypothetically speaking, whats the optimal size for 4k resolution? 27" or bigger?
>>53809690
the monitor in OP claims to be 99% sRGB rating
>>53809700
you can go with a higher pixel density / smaller diagonal just as well if you use an OS that can scale properly which is not windows
>>53809738
yeah as does every other IPS monitor, but you want 99% adobeRGB
and bending the GPU output to calibrate is a no go, the screen needs to have a user calibratable LUT
>>53809742
thanks paula, but I am using a 1920x1200 24" monitor right now and the pixels are barely noticable from my viewing distance.
keep in mind the monitor in op is 23" and is 16:9. Its probably much smaller than my current monitor.
>>53809599
Get this one instead

kekek what the fuck is this
>>53809599
> STILL no 32" 16:10 4k monitors
Why even bother with 4k if they can't even do this right
>>53809599
There are ~400.00 korean 4ks that are ok.
What kind of graphic design do you need that full specs shit?
>>53809599
I own two of these Dell Pz415Q's very comfy 4k's for video editing. Just wondering how the hell do you take apart and repair one of these? I've searched the googles but too no avail.
>>53809599
Don't really bother with that size, I have a 4k 27" and black text on a white background will hurt your eyes without scaling.
>>53809930
This.
32 or 34in is the sweet spot for 4k
not that there are any monitors that size worth getting at the moment.
>>53809888
checked.
so you think its not worth to get 4k smaller than 32". I am using 16:10 now, but wouldnt mind 16:9 on a 4k, since you get much vertical space anyways.
>>53809891
I'm not a professional, its not that important to me.
>>53809930
27" too small too? I am using os with best ui scaling (at least they claim so)
>>53809637
>>53809690
These are two are on point. Getting a small 4k monitor doesn't give you much screen real estate. You need at least a 34 inch to give you a lot of working space and a decent PPI pf 110.
Trust me when i say this you don't want to be looking at a screen with tiny text for 8+ hours a day, it fucks up your vision. If you have an OS that scales well it doesn't matter because
scaling on a small screen will only give you smooth fonts but will limit your work space. I'd say 90-130ppi is ideal. Also getting a 4k monitor that is color accurate and is large is not cheap.
This is why getting cheap 1440p monitors is still reasonable. Until 4k monitor prices drop i'd say hold of on it unless you don't mind not having a lot of working space but would like nicely
rendered fonts and ui elements.
>>53810001
PPI of 129*
>>53809986
Smaller than 32 makes no sense. The pixel density is like 180ppi.
Also you might still want a 16:10 because you are still getting more space for program windows.
>>53810001
This anon is very correct
>>53810001
>Until 4k monitor prices drop
I doubt it will drop any time soon. They need to jews into buying the current specs.
>>53810067
I'm holding off until 4k OLED monitors are under 1000 dollars. IPS 4k is nice but not at it's current price. I want to make an upgrade that is actually worth it.
>>53809788
Amy, if you're going with 4K you're going to have to enable DPI scaling or everything will probably be uncomfortably small. Good luck if you're using Windows.

I am thinki9ng this dude is right, >>53809810
buying an 2560x1440 seems to be the best way to go. but 25" seems too small for that resolution. I should probably find an 27"
>>53810106
>using NSA botnet in current year
>>53810095
I ll probably hold off too. Just seems not worth it right now.
>>53810132
Geberally 27" is the sweet spot for 1140p. You might want to get a 2560 x 1600 though depending on how much you are willing to spend
>>53809599
Don't bother with smaller buttons and UI, just get a larger or second monitor.
I have this:
https://www.asus.com/uk/Monitors/PB287Q/
Which I use for graphic design, digital painting, writing and gaming. I set it to sRGB colour mode and it's good enough.
Unless you work for print, colour accuracy isn't that important imo. Most GD work is for screen, and even if you have a super accurate monitor, how accurate are the monitors that your work is going to be shown on?
I just check my work on my phone, laptop, and TV and if it looks how I want on those then jobs a goodun
That aside, working in 4K is pretty great. Gaming, eh. I have 970 so that should tell you all you need to know.
23.8 is far too small, I barely get the good of it at 28 inches.
>>53810526
weird, was just watching reviews for it.
my point exactly about color accuracy. why would it be important if you dont do print and if it gets viewd on other shitty monitors..
>>53810612
Wasn't linus dick tips was it?
I bought it based on his review.
>>53810612

I know not everyone has color accurate monitors but when you are working for a design agency or it is a group project you need everyone to be on the same page. As a graphic designer you won't be strictly tied to designing for the web.
You will be faced with many scenarios where you aren't just working the sRGB colour space. Sure some the things you design aren't going to go directly to print but if your client decides to use your logo or design in a print you need to be ready
to provide accurate print colors because accurate colors means less time printing proofs which to any client, it's money wasted specially depending on how large the job is. Saying most GD work is for screen is ignorant as there is a wide
range of mediums other than screen. Your claim makes me believe you are either a freelancer or are involved in digital illustration that will be featured in websites which is by all means fine but graphic design is so much more than that.
>>53811036
save your breathe, /g/ knows nothing on design and even coding.
>>53811036
I was thinking about this too since i took a photography class before and the problems i faced with inaccurate color. Still ended up getting a crap monitor mx239h because ahips panel...guess I'll just upgrade later after finish studying
>>53811286
I just hope they don't throw away money on something they'll end up upgrading.
>>53811359
Yeah man, right now is the time to make mistakes and learn from them. It will only matter when you have clients and there is money on the line.
>>53811036
Do you buy your own monitors when you work for a design agency?
No.
>>53811491
Actually yes, i take work home every week. On the off chance i get some freelance work i work on it at home as well, never on company time. I don't understand your question because you'd never make the same accusation with a programmer who needs a capable computer to work from home.
>>53811606
Fair enough. I guess our jobs are just different.
Aside from freelance illustration, my main work is for in-house industrial stuff, which has no requirement for colour accuracy.
Bulk of what I do is just simplifying electrical engineering diagrams so that our minimum wage staff can understand it. That and aligning fleet vehicle graphics for print.
Nothing creative, so I never bother take it home with me.
>>53809599
>I am a poorfag
you shouldn't buy things you can't afford
>>53811798
I consider it an investment. As of now, an unnecessary investment I will skip
Not op but is there a monitor that is:
1920x1080
100% sRGB
23-26 inch
60 or higher refresh rate
IPS
I can't seem to find one
>>53809599
Buy the Dell Ultrasharp 2414H.
I got it and it's amazing to look at and work on.
It's also 1080p and rather cheap (around 200-250$ if not less)
If you want the 1440p version instead you should get the U2514H which is about the same quality, if not slightly better.
Also look at the tiny size of the bezel.
Oh, and they can both be turned 180 degrees
Are there any relatively cheap monitors with good color accuracy and freesync?
>>53813868
>high refresh rater/gaming gimmicks
>high end color accurate monitor
this may be hard to believe but the gaming demographic doesn't care about color accuracy, all they care about is high refresh rate which equates to TN panels and washed out overclocked IPS panels.
my computer is so old, i have to scale down 1080 monitors
>>53813931
>freesync = high refresh rate gaming gimmick
Uh, no. I want freesync so I can watch 24fps content without 3:2 judder.
