Any 4k screen users for photo editing.

With the price of 4k screens now affordable has anyone got one yet to use for lightroom and photoshop.
How do you find the extra resolution? What about colour accuracy?
Is a single 4k screen better than a multi monitor 1080p setup.

Price is coming down for TN panels, but cheap IPS 4K panels are some way off.

I'd be quite surprised if many are using 4k monitors yet. Personally I see no benefit of using one currently, especially if you use your PC for anything like gaming, as the ramp up in power from the gpu needed is rather large (admittedly my knowledge is limited here, I've only read a few forums threads in the last 2 days!).

Best bet is still a 27" 2560x1440 or a 30" 2560x1600 if you can afford the extra. A decent (non TN) will probably cost you close to £2k at the moment so out of budget realistically.

1080p is the devil (in Happy Gilmore voice) and shouldn't be touched by someone producing anything on a computer...

A nice 28-30" 4k screen would be good but it'll have to be IPS or PLS before I go near it.

Truer words are seldom spoken.
