Which 4k 30"+ monitor for 80% photography 20% gaming?

[Richdog]

Hi guys,

I would like to get a good 4k monitor, mainly for photography (I am starting to do play with studio work so colour reproduction is extremely important), but also for some gaming as and when needed (I will likely downscale to 1440p for that as I doubt my laptop GTX 1070 will do much 4k action).

So, in summary, please kindly help me to spec me a monitor that is:

• 30"+.
• 4k resolution.
• 100% or greater sRGB/Adobe RGB coverage for photography colour accuracy.
• Gaming friendly 4k 60p... G-sync "nice to have".
• As future-proof as it gets, I don't want to upgrade again for a few years.
• Budget: ~£1000 (flexible for the right screen).

Cheers,

Rich.

100% of Adobe RGB is specialist kit and expensive and I've yet to see it combined with over 60hz. Gamers won't pay for the gamut, and professionals don't need g-sync, so you'll kind of have to choose one or the other.

This Dell screen supports 99% Adobe RGB: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/dell...-led-4k-monitor-midnight-black-mo-085-de.html And is currently on discount to your max budget. I've yet to find a badly made Dell

Of course, be aware that downscaling to 1440p will make for fuzzy graphics due to the pixel scaling. If you're serious about both colours and gaming, you may be better served with 2 monitors

Hi eddie. As I stated in the opening post and title it is for 20% gaming and G-sync is only a "nice to have"... so clearly not so 'serious' about gaming on it and photography is the obvious priority. I shall take a look at the Dell.

Any other suggestions also appreciated.
