Need a 24" 4K monitor

mistersprinkles · 8 Oct 2017 at 05:50

Need advice on a 24" 4K monitor. No need for anything above 60Hz. Want IPS and extremely accurate colour. This will be my secondary monitor and will be used exclusively for video playback and similar use so the tiny text size @ 4K/24" is a non-issue.

Suggestions plz!

I like my Dell.

Which of these has the widest color gamut and is pre calibrated the best, colour wise?

Hey I've been looking around and it appears that the NEC monitor in question is not available in Canada

.

What about the higher end Dell 4K monitors? Would one of those be ok? There is one with 99% sRGB coverage. Not as good as the NEC but certainly not bad either.

Hiya

the LG 24UD58 is NTSC 72%, which I believe is roughly 100% sRGB?

This is the one I have. It's very nice indeed.

The Dell is good...

Is there any ghosting? How good is the color reproduction? Was it well calibrated out of the box?

No ghosting, colours look good, and I don't recall the calibration.

So it's about 18 months later and there don't seem to be any new 4K 24" monitor at all. Most of these are end of life and the only ones that seem to be in good supply are:

Dell P2415Q - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/dell...reen-led-monitor-midnight-grey-mo-079-de.html
LG 24UD58 - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lg-2...creen-led-gaming-monitor-black-mo-14b-lg.html

Like the OP, I have no need for anything above 60Hz. However, I do want to run these in a quad-monitor setup so two important facts are bezel size and price.

Unfortuantely it seems you only get small bezels when you go up to 27" but I think a 27" quad set-up would be too wide for both my eyes and my desk.

Why are there so few 24" 4K monitors available? And can I do any better than the LG 24UD58 in 2019?

What do you use quad 4k monitors for?

Work. Spreadsheets, dashboards and billions of Chrome tabs. Often a different VM in each monitor. It's not a huge amount of space and I can't see it being that uncommon a request?! I'm currently struggling really hard with two 22" 1080p displays.

Will my Radeon RX 570 Pulse 8GB have any issue just running Windows apps at this resolution?

How is one or even two ultrawides going to meet my requirements that are satisfied by quad monitors?

bloodiedathame · 4 Mar 2019 at 21:48

I understand the need for 4 monitors but not why they need to be 4k. Sure the text will be clear but the resolution doesnt give you more space really.

dulcificum · 4 Mar 2019 at 22:06

Because 4K gives more real estate than 1440p? Of course it gives you more space...
