Is hdr10 worth it?

[413x]

I've come all the way back to looking at the benq EX3501R after missing out on the AW3418DW

It says hdr10.
Is this worth anything Or just marketing bs?

OK, so the hdr on the benq is just marketing

Shame oled tvs are too big for the desk.

Think I'll still get the benq anyway Its only 500.

The 1k monitors simply aren't good value.

There are a lot of screens coming out at the moment with 1152 zone FALD and are HDR10 rated as they go up to 1600nits so should be as good as non OLED screens get tbh

The benq is just hdr10 compatible, has no FALD, no zones, nothing. Its a decent screen at 2000:1 contrast but only goes to 300nits.

So not a proper HDR screen at all., Remember when cheap TVs came out which were "HDR ready"? This is the monitor equivalent.

Ugh, probably not in the next 3 months right?

They are also £3500+ according to an Acer rep ($3500).

That is disgusting

Ill go for the benq.

Someone needs to make an oled screen in the 30-40 range with the quality of TV.

Wish could just get a TV, but far to big and I do a lot of productivity work

Actually it's $3599 according to this Anandtech article: https://www.anandtech.com/show/1530...onitor-w1152zone-mini-led-fald-gsync-ultimate

Hopefully, this price is not final and will come down, but I'm not holding my breath. I wish I could get an OLED TV but 48" is still too big for me.

At least knowing the ballpark figure makes it an easy decision

Ill probably go for 2 monitors in that case.
A 4k standard aspect for photography and 3d deaign
An uwa for entertainment

Probably gonna go for 2 benqs

Just an update

Decided to go with the benq EX3501R
But accepting the hdr is not worth it

The monitors that are much better are much much more expensive. And not worth it.
Feel it's better to get a uwa VA and a 4k ips at 500 each than a 1k monitor trying to do both

Was going to buy EX3501R today but prices are quite bit more expensive (especially on ocuk) . Might be supply issues from virus or whatever.

So purchase is on hold. Not paying inflated prices.
