Which monitor should I buy for Color grading? (on a budget)
Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2018 5:41 pm
Hi everyone!
I'm currently looking into buying a monitor for color grading. The problem is I have a very tight budget and I am looking at these two monitors:
Dell UP2716D 27" and Dell U2718Q 27".
I'm having a hard time deciding which one would be best for me.
I decided that I need as much color accuracy of Rec 709 and DCI P3 as I can get since I do a lot of color grading for short films that end up at festivals and Rec 709 for commercial work.
I see in the description that UP2716D has greater color accuracy but the U2718Q has a greater resolution...
I'm just lost here. Can anybody guide me through this decision?
This are the links to both monitors:
