Hardware - which monitor do you use?

zMauser · Jun 2018

Hello everybody I am excited to meet this community and be part of it.

I am learning 3d art with Maya, zbrush core and the allegorithmic suite.

For now I have a cheap fhd TN display and I feel like I am in the need to upgrade.

I would love to read which monitor you guys are using on your 3d workstation.

I had the aoc "pro line" 3277 pwqu on my desk for testing, the many good reviews kind off fooled me. Mva panel, overall build quality and 32 inch size just wasn't for me.

I guess iam looking for a 27 inch ips 10 bit 100% sRGB 4k or wqhd monitor with a well built ips panel.

If you guys have any advice or maybe share your experience and model with your current display I will be happy to read it.

Best regards

Mauser

I got this one because it's cheap but has a nice, crsip display, I'm not sure what the curve is supposed to do, but for the price the image is very clear and it has a nice eye saver function. My second monitor is a big TV with poor resolution, but having a large screen to hold all the extra stuff is nice. Definitely recommend two monitors. I don't see a point with the 4k monitors, but that's just me.

This has been working for me beautifullly. Mountable on an arm, good image. About the right size.

Two of these Dell UP3017s, great monitors.

When I was looking to upgrade my monitors, I wanted to get something that was color calibrated. I was also coming from a monitor with a really poor viewing angle. If color calibration is important to you, these are some of the most affordable on the market. The next step up from this would be an HP dreamcolor, (they can be pretty expensive) which has been pretty standard in the film business for a number of years.

If color calibration is not super important to you @Millenia is definitely spot on with the Dell UP3017 recommendation. A lot of professional game development studios use those as their primary workstation monitors.
cheers!
