Hi,
thanks for taking the endeavor to discuss hither with your readers!
I have dual usage for an upcoming monitor purchase: ane) Text, medical images (grey scale), graphs and ii) I edit on the side videos for my partner and brand promotional print and web material for his concerts. Sure, an Eizo CG series or the new NEC in the range of 4000 quid would check all boxes but I call back I take plenty of room to compromise. My wish list:– Size (27-)32 inches
– Pixel density above 130 ppi (and so preferably ultra Hard disk), love not to have to zoom in more than 66% in photoshop etc. to reduce bit rendering and added clarity.
– Tin can be profiled very well to sRGB with an i1Display pro and/or has an emulation mode with brightness adjustment that tin can be calibrated.
– Preferably extended gamut in management of DCI P3. For making stuff await pleasant on Apple devices
– Have headway in editing in color managed software (anyhow, on the Mac)
– Use the considerable P3 overlap with printing color spaces
– Alternatively Adobe RGB every bit the classic option to fulfill these requirements
– A decent hazard in the uniformity and backlight lottery
– Proficient greyness and gamma tracking for working in different lighting conditions 100-250 nits
– Coating and subpixel layout pleasant for text
– Contrast equally high equally possible. 600:ane is unbearable to me, thou:ane just ok, best 1300:1
– Nice to take would exist an internal LUT of >= 10 fleck.
– Dainty to take: a USB-C DP alternate connectedness to connect Macbook.
– A price that is well plenty below a new iMac which would actually tick a lot of these boxes with a computer attached 😉
– Not interested in HDR per seI have tried the LG UL850 which checked many boxes, fifty-fifty hardware calibration. The latter turned out to be an internal 8 fleck LUT with bad calibration results. It could be profiled just perfectly though per ICC, though. Uniformity was great for the toll. It was probably a BOE console to avoid the red corner event. Trouble was, six hours of continuous use and the monitor's color temperature had drifted towards 4000K from 6500K of the initial calibration. That, unfortunately, was reproducible the side by side day. Meanwhile contrast went from 900:1 to 450:1 even after readjusting white signal. It got me thinking about 32 inches, though, with native 4k.
My ideas, so far:
– EIZO EV3285: Seems like a quality production but very strictly sRGB. Also I am a little confused past some tests. Is calibrated RGB really first-class (which it should exist given the price and restricted gamut)? Dissimilarity 1:1300 and usable paper fashion = squeamish. Upper price limit with 1200 EUR and I'd give up the extended gamut for hopefully set it and forget information technology quality.
– LG 32UM/UD99 is no longer available (amazon EU stores) merely looked promising. I like that the LM315WR1-SSB1 tin can attain high dissimilarity with DCI P3 coverage. Apparently big uniformity issues though.
– BenQ PD3220U seems to use LM315WR1-SSB1, as well. Same uniformity issues? Then price maybe too high for such issues? Why lower contrast?
– Acer PE320QK is the cheapest monitor with the same panel (like 400 EUR cheaper than BenQ on cheapest Amazon Eu store). Very negative reviews with actual defects and periodic flickering.
– VP3268-4K seems once more to cross many boxes with again bad reviews. Also conflicting info about how much of AdobeRGB is covered. Goes on sale oft and good price and hardware calibration. Older LM315WR1-SSA1 (maybe like Dell u3219q?)
– LG 32UN880 and LG 32UN650 expect promising on newspaper only I am afraid that dissimilarity is really low on the new Nano IPS panels.
– MSI PS321URV (one thousand EUR) and AOC U32U1 (800-900 EUR) also wait great on paper simply the first is set to appear only next or so month and AOC hasn't been reviewed. Do you have whatever info which panel they use, so equally to approximate them? Actually, AOC U32U1 would wait almost too skillful to be true with high P3 and 100% Adobe RGB (mistake?) and high dissimilarity. I don't get how this would exist in a "blueprint" stand monitor with bottomless looking cable management, without VESA etc. (so not then "pro", at all). MSI likewise seems newer to wide gamut IPS "creator".
I realize, this is long. If y'all could help me on any of those points, I'd be happy to buy through an amazon affiliate link through an European union (generally amazon.de or .uk is cheapest) store. (Amazon.co.uk if deliverable with power suitable for using a separately bough European union/Swiss ability chord though)
I am still learning almost color workflows. If I got your recommended 32 inch Benq and run it with an icc profiled for RGB and i for its native gamut, would I be able to correctly view RGB in say Photoshop every bit working/output space and switching back to calibrated native gamut have the covered P3 for say Premiere? Is at that place any compromise you suggest or recommendation you take?

How-do-you-do jens and welcome,
I often like to merge threads together to avoid potential overlap. I had this thread and this thread in mind every bit potential candidates. Nevertheless; you've been then thorough with your initial mail service and very specific nearly what you're looking for, and then I feel this deserves its own thread instead. I think you've made a very good case for ~32″ '4K' UHD and I concord that it'south a very overnice and indeed very applied screen size and resolution combination. Information technology seems you lot've done a lot of expert enquiry on these models already and I don't have a whole lot I tin add, simply due to lack of experience or detailed user feedback on some of the models you've highlighted. I practice have some general impressions based on the panels used and you're absolutely right to focus on that aspect to try and get some ideas of full general characteristics and to set expectations. Some thoughts:
– The LG panels tend to be more prone to uniformity issues than the AUO AHVA panels which are less unremarkably used. In that location are no guarantees in either case, only it seems that complaints nearly poor uniformity are quite common on models which use the LG panels you've highlighted.
– The specified static contrast for the LG models is a bit ambitious as an 'after calibration' target. Usually it drops to ~1100 – 1200:1 following calibration. This isn't bad and slightly stronger than your 'boilerplate' IPS panel. But it's hardly a huge difference from 1 that's ~1000:1. Especially when you factor in actual perceived contrast post-obit 'IPS glow' and likely dark uniformity problems that can exacerbate that.
– I've too had users mutter of static interlace design artifacts on some of the models with LG panels, including the 32UD99. Not sure if information technology's a universal issue or only some dodgy units that take this, merely it's more i person who has fed this dorsum to me. Information technology's not something everyone would notice either style, which is why it'southward tricky to piece of work out whether information technology affects all units or whether it'due south fairly isolated.
– The BenQ PD3220U uses the LG LM315WR1-SSB1 (reference). The contrast is lower simply due to the level of scale practical, if you measure out it with everything in the 'neutral' position it should exist closer to the 'expected' 1300:1 for the panel. Every bit noted in that Twitter thread, the ruby-red corner issue can also apply to these 31.v″ LG panels, at to the lowest degree some of them!
– Hardware calibration with a programmable 3D LUT tin can be a nice bear upon, but I don't see this as essential if you have a color-managed workflow. As you lot exercise if you lot're using Adobe Suite programs. Most of these models should work nicely with regular software-based profiling.
– sRGB emulation settings aren't something you lot'd need to rely on in a colour-managed workflow. You can profile the monitor using its native gamut and this gamut information is then tied to the ICC contour you create. Y'all'd then exist complimentary to edit in sRGB if you lot like and select that as your workspace in the program, or DCI-P3 as your target if you want to use more of the gamut. Colour-enlightened applications such as Adobe Suite programs can read that gamut information embedded in the profile and will make appropriate corrections based on the colour space you want to work within. This is my understanding of it, anyway, I don't actually have a tightly color-managed workflow myself so information technology's not really an surface area I have much practical experience in.
– I agree that the recent Nano IPS models are a bit of an unknown and that some other recent Nano IPS models have been quite a fleck weaker than promised in terms of contrast. Just that may just apply to the 27″ WQHD models rather than being a more general ascertainment. The 34GN850, for example, offers dissimilarity that's largely in-line with expectation and specification. Some early feedback on the 27GN950 suggests information technology's decent also, just that still remains to exist seen. Equally does how the 32UN880 and 32UN650 would fit into this.
– The AOC U32U1 is mainly interesting due to its pattern and VESA DisplayHDR 600 back up. However; it has been available in some Asian countries for a while at present so I have seen some feedback on it. And it doesn't seem too promising from a uniformity perspective, perhaps in part considering of the backlight arrangement trying to fit in edge-based local dimming in a slender package. The console family unit is the LG Brandish LM315WR2 with this i, which are Nano IPS parts with KSF phosphors. It does offer 98% DCI-P3 and the 100% Adobe RGB specified is likely accomplished as well.
And then given all of this, I tend to prefer models using the 32″ AUO panel over the 31.v″ LG panels. As I mentioned above, there are no guarantees when it comes to uniformity and I know this is something y'all'll be aware of from your own research. Merely it seems with these comparisons the AUO panels tend to fare better. Given that information technology uses such a panel and it's a capable all-round performer with emphasis on color performance, I'd even so mainly recommend the BenQ EW3280U for your purposes and with your preferred budget range in heed. A slight preference of mine towards the panel used at that place also stems from the fact the screen surface is slightly less grainy. At least compared to some of the LG panels I've seen (they may differ slightly in that regard). The haze value is perhaps slightly lower as well, only it's tricky to assess given that I've merely used models with the LG panels quite briefly in adequately dim lighting conditions. I appreciate you wanting to support the website. The EW3280U if ordered from Amazon UK should come with a UK power adaptor (direct AC 'kettle pb' with 3 pins). A basic U.k. to Switzerland ability adaptor should work but fine for this for plugging into your mains electricity, Amazon also sells these.
Thank y'all and so much for your thoughtful and extensive remarks!
I agree with your recommendation; it is a really good price for a monitor that tin can be well calibrated, has adept white point and grey, gamma tracking out of the box and then that icc profiles don't take to mess as well much to right. Excellent sRGB and some DCI-P3. It was really helpful to have your more qualitative judgement on height of spec testing.
I ran a few icc-profiles including yours (and thank you once more) on the iccviewer website to check for softproof capabilities. ISO coated v2/FOGRA 51/39 are missed mainly in the cyan/green section which is to be expected given the gamut specification and a bit of yellow which is perchance more surprising. The LG UL850 actually covered not and then much less of the FOGRA 51. But if I wanted to have a professional setup, I simply would have to spend significantly more than. In brusk: The EW3280 is loftier up on the list and a great recommendation (which, of form, doesn't come as a surprise given your experience).As y'all did invest then much in answering my questions, I'd like to contribute my notes here in example they are useful to anybody. I compiled a listing of monitors either 4k (or very few wqhd). Also I couldn't observe a comprehensive listing of Adobe RGB capable consumer monitors. So, I compiled one that is highly biased because I restricted my budget to 1,000 EUR. It is in that location, where I found two/three very interesting monitors in unexpected places:
i) BenQ PD3420 which is specified as 98% DCI P3 and probably well over 90% Adobe RGB. BenQ seems to be doing a not bad job with reasonable factory defaults according not to the lowest degree to your reviews. Interestingly, the price is probably going to be about 700-800 EUR (I've seen first listings in Germany and Switzerland disregarding the RRP which is a bit higher). Information technology's not out yet, as far as I saw, but 2 Swiss dealers have it listed to be deliverable within the next two weeks.
ii) I've come up beyond Lenovo's horrific website. Cannot manage to set filters. Merely: Thinkvision P32U just has phenomenal specs and the one review I found measured almost as promised 95% P3 (98% according to Lenovo) and 100% Adobe RGB with very skillful calibration results. Scarce user online opinions where exultant. I haven't come across a single panel with those specifications. It's a 2020 model, so mayhap really a newer panel? P32U has an abundance of expensive ports including 2 Thunderbolt 3. The price with confusing sales is at the moment around 900 Swiss Francs (ca. 750 £). If it has no astringent issues this is an unbeatable toll in my view.
iii) Another Lenovo Thinkvision, P27U, also Adobe RGB had a horrible test at a well known Belgian site. I wonder how that is possible. I recall, for budget considerations I might have gone for that monitor otherwise (525 CHF or 440 £) with the BenQ PD2720U being the side by side cheapest Adobe RGB UHD at ca 1000 CHF (then I had gone for EW3280 or waited for PD3420).
If you have any clues about the Lenovo models, I'd be again very thankful.
If information technology isn't against your forum's intention, I'd like to share my notes on models and panels (or panel guesses, I have no fashion of validation). I'll get out out color specs and FOGRA validation where it was possible. I anyways assume nearly readers are less interested in that given the lack of performance in gaming of these monitors. Whatever I purchase, I brand sure to utilize your amazon links as gateway for the monitor or other products. You have definitely helped me. Thanks once more.

Lenovo ThinkVision P27u = LG LM270WR4-SSA1?
Lenovo ThinkVision P32u = AUO M320QAN01.two?The panel list is very much in the spirit of this forum. Information technology's important to raise sensation of the panels used given the key characteristics it gives to these monitors. It's especially of import for setting expectations and assuasive people to get a season for models that aren't covered based on the the panel used, which may exist shared with models that are covered in more detail. I added in panel manufacturers just for reference, and then it's easier for people who aren't familiar with panel designations to see at a glance. The Lenovo ThinkVision P32U uses the AUO M320QAN01.ii from what I understand. Every bit for the P27U, information technology seems to use the LG LM270WR4-SSA1. This is based on findings on various Asian forums from sources that are commonly very reliable at panel identification. I wonder if the review site that reported a much lower colour gamut had an emulation setting of some sort practical and didn't realise? The panel should certainly offer excellent Adobe RGB coverage.
I've had a flake of fun with the ICCView website myself. I loaded in the ICC profile from our EW3280U review and compared to ISOcoated_v2_eci.icc (equally provided on the website) and I don't see pregnant undercoverage of yellows there, just a sliver and quite some overcoverage for some yellows. The undercoverage is and then slight (beneath) that it'due south unlikely to crusade whatsoever issue at all in do. Information technology was and so apartment against the measured gamut that the wireframe wasn't actually visible from most angles, meaning it'due south very slight undercoverage. Information technology's possible a few re-calibration runs would go rid of that equally well, I'm not sure exactly how accurately it tin can be adamant based on the readings provided past a colorimeter rather than spectrophotometer. I've called the BenQ's profile 'PCM.icc' in the image below just equally I had uploaded the standard EW3280U contour provided by BenQ for comparison as well and needed to distinguish them.

Hi there,
trying to understand which monitor to buy to connect with a Dell XPS 9700 (that has a 4K Ultra Hard disk drive+ monitor).
I'm a graphic design, I work both with web and (not e'er) with paper (magazines, flyers etc…).
I was trying to empathize what kind of monitor is more than suitable for me, spending approx 1200 eur (~1400 $,) I would really love to buy a 32 inch IPS 4k possibly Type C, something with a 100% sRGB and (where possible) a ~100% Adobe RGB coverage. I know it'southward kinda hard and till now I've found but little options like:– BenQ EW3280U
– MSI Creator PS321URV
– BenQ PD3220U
(PD3200u is also an option, but I would adopt the type C connection, but if the panel is the same, I won't spend the actress money)
– LG 34WK95U (little chip bigger and UW, simply sounds ok)
– Viewsonic VP3268-4K (can't detect a good review)
– Acer Predator X34 (then I can even play? :D)
– Others?I exercise really capeesh whatsoever assistance, information technology'south all new for me and trying to find a correct heart ground seems impossible.
Ps. I've got a 10-rite i1 for monitor calibration, so I tin calibrate information technology 🙂Thanks!
Ps. lamentable for any mistakes, I'g not mother-natural language 😀Hullo xellos,
I've moved your post over to here as it's a suitable place and most of the '4K' models you've mentioned are covered here already. The ViewSonic VP3268-4K isn't really discussed in much depth here, but information technology does become a passing mention. I'd recommend making use of the forum search facility in the footer every bit it'south certainly discussed in some other threads. Whilst information technology doesn't offer complete or near-consummate Adobe RGB coverage (neither do most of the other models you mentioned, though) the BenQ EW3280U is my very clear recommendation in this thread, other like threads on the forum and the site more broadly.
The Acer X34 seems rather misplaced hither as it just offers a looser pixel density and ~sRGB colour gamut with just a little extension beyond. If you're fatigued to the idea of gaming on the monitor likewise so you should consider some of the newer Nano IPS UltraWides instead – plenty of discussion on those ones elsewhere on the forum. But they'd offering you good DCI-P3 coverage and much ameliorate Adobe RGB coverage than the X34.
Hi PCM2,
give thanks a lot for your help!
And then, I've read your considerations and I'm divided between 34GN850 and EW3280U (googling around I read that the first has a ~86% aRGB and the latter ~85% aRGB). I don't really need a gaming monitor, I don't play a lot, I do prefer something with a skillful (still not perfect) aRGB coverage. I saw yous had completely discarded the PD3220U that, as far as I tin can see from Benq website, is considered to be a creator monitor. Is the EW3280U better?If you call up that other models effectually 32/34 inches (wide or not) could fit better my needs (Adobe suite, web an printed design) I would actually appreciate to listen your opinion.
Every bit I mention earlier in this thread, I have my reasons for preferring the AUO panel used in the EW3280U over the LG panel used in the PD3220U and quite a few other models. Refer to my start mail if you need more than details.
It would be upward to you whether you lot prefer the wider screen format and lower pixel density of a 3440 x 1440 UltraWide like the LG 34GN850 or the taller and more than pixel dense 32″ UHD experience. Recall that a 34″ UltraWide of this sort is a similar height to a 27″ 16:9 monitor and you get 1440 rows of pixels. With a 32″ UHD model you take significant extra height and 2160 rows of pixels. Horizontally, your 34″ UltraWide would give y'all more width but fewer pixels (3440 vs. 3840). This page is useful for visualising the physical size differences, but pixel density is a personal choice – in my view the higher pixel density is more useful for your needs than an increase in horizontal infinite.
P.Southward. Not that it makes much difference, merely I measured 86% Adobe RGB coverage on the EW3280U and 96% DCI-P3, and then slightly above specified.

Hi,
Starting time of all, I want to thank you for the extensive reviews and thorough descriptions, they really assistance to make an informed choice. I have read your website thoroughly.
I'thou looking for a monitor for two uses: programming, and so I demand good text clarity, and photograph editing (possibly video editing after) as a hobby in sRGB. I don't accept a colorimeter at the moment.
1 of the nigh important aspects of a monitor for me besides the full sRGB coverage, is a very light matte screen surface that's non grainy and has low haze. I also prefer 32" 4K.
Then based on what I've read on this website, I take bought the Benq EW3280U.
I wanted to give some feedback every bit I idea this could be useful to others.First of all, I want to make articulate that I don't expect a perfect monitor, but it should exist skillful plenty to utilise it for long and long term. I know that I can expect a bit of lite bleed, clouding and IPS glow, but if it'southward a piddling it doesn't bother me.
The screen surface of the Benq EW3280u is the best I have seen nevertheless in current monitors. Information technology'south improve than my my one-time Samsung S27A850D, which already had quite a polish surface.
I tried the Philips 328E1CA just I didn't like the screen surface at all, as well grainy for me.
The colours of the BenQ EW3280U are very proficient as well, even when merely adapting the settings according to your specifications in the review.
I know about IPS glow and I don't mind as I'm always working in a room with enough light and don't lookout man movies on information technology.
Unfortunately, I seem to accept real bad luck finding a good sample.The first EW3280U I received had bad backlight bleed, covering the lower left corner and a big role of the top right corner. Information technology also had uniformity issues. When viewing a white screen, the whole correct office of the screen was yellowish instead of white, which showed upward in all colours. A light blue picture on the left side of the screen would have a beige tinge to it on the right side, for example.
And so, I returned it and got a 2d one.
This one had an near perfect screen, no yellowing, no clouding or backlight bleed, only very heavy IPS glow (more than the previous one) fleck doable. Sadly, it came with defect speakers. So, again a return.The third one seemed more or less OK, no backlight drain or clouding, just normal IPS glow, a flake of a screen uniformity issue on the right side in the top right corner of the screen, where the screen was a flake more yellow. But information technology was very light. And the forepart plastic of the speakers didn't sit affluent with the screen (lots of space between the screen and the speakers) and I could push the speaker bar in. Unfortunately, there seemed to exist a scratch and/or pilus on the inside, behind the glass in simply ane place. I outset thought I had a scratch on the screen surface as it looked like ii very fine irregular lines. But when I inspected it, the surface was perfectly smooth. It was in the screen. When I moved a few windows effectually, the ii lines stayed where they were and appeared on pinnacle of the window that was in that place.
And then, I guess I don't have much luck with the quality control of the BenQ EW3280U.
Would the BenQ PD3220U be a skillful alternative? I know you recommend the EW3280U over the beginning one, but I don't know if I want to endeavour again. Or practice y'all know of some other 32″4K monitor with similar specs, especially concerning the screen surface and colours?
Thank you for your help.
Hullo Pauline,
I appreciate the kind words and I'k deplorable you had issues with 3 sequent EW3280Us. Unfortunately this is a sad reflection of the monitor marketplace more than broadly and could have practical to many models really. Bug with uniformity, internal wiring (speaker wires disconnecting) and housing problems tin all exist caused by rough treatment of the monitor in warehouses and during transport. The manufacturers are now under increased force per unit area to subtract the amount of packaging they employ for monitors (and everything else for that matter) and with how hectic and rushed modern logistics are accidents do happen. Modernistic bezel and monitor designs are generally less robust equally well, you could debate the EW3280U is more prone to such problems because the stand is relatively unsubstantial. And if I recall correctly, the EW3280U has a relatively slimline box design which doesn't offer much protection either!
Regardless of this, I totally empathise you wanting to avoid that model. And as identified in this thread I feel the PD3220U could exist worth trying. I oasis't sat downwards and reviewed that model, but I accept used information technology at a few events in the past. And I don't call back being annoyed past the screen surface in terms of graininess, which is a good sign. But I wasn't in control of the lighting or even the content being displayed and my use of the monitor was very brief. So it wasn't ideal for assessing such things. The colour reproduction and other aspects I'm certain y'all'd get on with every bit well, it's fantabulous in that respect. I'd as well like to think the monitor is more than robust in general and that would, if nothing else, require more substantial packaging to be used! Which might help reduce the chance of some of these issues occurring.
I take to say I'm intrigued by your comment that one of your EW3280Us had no backlight bleed or clouding but did have "heavy IPS glow". Bold the same panel is used (I accept no evidence information technology wouldn't exist) in all cases, and the brightness was the same, 'IPS glow' in isolation shouldn't change. It can be brought out more strongly by clouding, backlight drain and other night uniformity issues. In that location can be exceptions I suppose, related to some quality control issue on AU Optronics stop when they manufacture or assemble the panel or some variance in the backlight units. How did you appraise 'IPS glow' in isolation whilst taking other uniformity issues out of the equation? I presume you moved backwards whilst keeping as centrally as possible and then you'd run across everything only the 'IPS glow' remain?

I've gone through quite a journeying trying to find a monitor with similar capabilities. I recently saw that LG appear new models at CES, which nosotros might have to await a while for. Yet they look promising. The upcoming 32-inch 4K OLED monitor has me dreaming. Information technology'southward going to cost more than nigh people want to pay though. But for P3 coverage and perfect dissimilarity with pure blacks, it'southward going to be a dream for photographers and graphic designers. I'd say $1500 wouldn't really be excessive for that kind of model. I also don't find slower refresh rates with OLED like I practice conventional LCD. Pixels respond so apace that 60Hz on an OLED screen feels equally smooth every bit say 120Hz on IPS. This is subjective, I realize.
I'm simply bringing this upwards since the poster has had issues with IPS options. If getting rid of nagging things like BLB and IPS glow are of import, and color work is also a factor, information technology might exist worth waiting for? I know everyone fears burn-in, but it's something I retrieve LG has been working hard at mitigating. I oasis't had bug with major fire-in on my smartphones, and 1 I had for many, many years. Even now at 7-years-old, it has merely the slightest of burn in where static images similar the navigation carte is.
Adam, I wasn't sure where to bring upwards this specific LG monitor. I saw this thread and thought it might be a good fit. There's also going to exist a 42-inch OLED Telly similar to the 48-inch that came out last year. These are going to exist popular no dubiousness. Everyone has been begging for smaller OLED screens. For how important a brandish is to many of us, the loftier premium won't be too off-putting. I realize yous tin can get a huge Television set for the aforementioned toll, but for many of us our monitor is what nosotros spend the most time each solar day looking at. I'm excited for this, even if it's probably months if not a twelvemonth from existence bachelor. Have you heard anything from LG?
I haven't heard anything further from LG on either the 32″ OLED monitor (32EP950) or 42″ OLED Television. As you lot'll be aware their PR team is side by side to useless hither in the Britain and then it'south unlikely I'll exam these products myself unless I buy them. Regardless of its pixel responsiveness, a 60Hz (sample and hold) monitor can never replicate the performance of a good 120Hz monitor. It doesn't affair how fast pixel responses are, it's outputting half is much visual information every second. The perceived blur due to eye movement is double and the 'connected feel' merely isn't anywhere near equally skilful. I use a 60Hz OLED myself oftentimes (laptop) and I'g afraid the 60Hz refresh charge per unit is a definite bulwark to visual fluidity. Not a problem for everyone, of course, and having the screen make full employ of the 60Hz refresh rate in a 'make clean' way can be only the sort of experience some are later. Without any overshoot or trailing from pixel response weaknesses whatsoever.
I doubtable $1500 will finish upward being too optimistic for the price of the 32EP950, just we'll have to run across. I personally wouldn't be surprised to see information technology effectually twice that given that it uses a low production rate professional person panel from JOLED. The Dell UP3017Q was hamstrung past loftier price and panel availability issues and I recall the LG will remain a niche product for the same reasons. I hope this doesn't just stop up being a technical showcase and does proceeds some actual consumer interest and traction, not least because I'd like to see other manufacturers using this and similar panels in the futurity!
I oversimplify the refresh rate and pixel responsiveness, I know. I'd just observe it preferable to have a 60Hz OLED to a 144Hz LCD at this point. The dissimilarity and blacks would make information technology worthwhile. Though I know I like a fast refresh rate.
It's besides bad LG doesn't work with you. I'm really curious about this upcoming models. I was hopeful most the pricing, also. The 48-inch OLED Tv set goes for $1500. I suppose beingness too optimistic isn't proficient, only it'south something to look forward to. If only the monitor market advanced like the Television receiver market does. We'd not still be waiting for OLED options.

Hullo all,
A large thanks for the detailed and professional answers and chat in this thread. I wanted to share my input on the topic, as I've been hunting for a 32″ screen for my utilise: I need to both for professional and personal use, just gaming characteristics were non high on my listing.
I ended up getting the BenQ PD2720U, which was slap-up just slightly too small for my use. I would have wanted to get the BenQ PD3220U, but as information technology was out of stock I needed to find a different solution. The store had the Lenovo Thinkvision P32U-10, which is mentioned in one of the posts above. And that was what I ended up getting, I'grand using it right now while typing this.
As the BenQ 27″ and 32″ are similar in specs but size, I'yard obviously comparing the Lenovo P32U to them. The more than I utilise this, the more than I dearest it: it's got really good uniformity across the entire console, no colour bleed that I can notice and DPI/PPI is good. I calibrated both the BenQ and this ane with SpyderX, and with Lightroom Classic things look proficient. The Lenovo is continued to a (M1) Mac Mini and (Intel) MacBook Air: I've a single keyboard and mouse shared across them, and switch sources on the fly.
Visually the BenQ seemed a bit more than deep in terms of colour (I do love Display P3), but the Lenovo has been created with AdobeRGB in heed. As much of my personal apply is in Lightroom Classic, this seems like a good solution for me and I exercise think I'll keep the Lenovo. Also, with the BenQ my M1 Mac had real troubles with mouse lag: with this Lenovo they're gone (USB 3.0 vs USB 3.1 outcome, that).
Where the BenQ wins hands down is ergonomics and usability. The Lenovo is horrible in that sense, only equally I only demand to touch two buttons daily (power and source) I don't mind.
I promise this helps someone because the same. Simply wanted to give a shout out for the Lenovo, that it's a really skillful screen once you've set it up.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Lenovo P32U-10 (and BenQ PD2720U), Jusisan. I'm glad the Lenovo is working out for yous and you're enjoying the 32″ screen size as well. 🙂
Cheers for your reply.
Apropos the IPS glow of the EW3280U, I did exactly what you said (moved backwards whilst keeping every bit centrally equally possible so yous'd see everything but the 'IPS glow' remain), it seemed heavier, but I didn't really inspect it any further as I'm not really that concerned about it.
Anyhow, in the mean time I bought a Philips 278E1A 27″ 4K. I'll put some user feedback most it in the relevant thread, just I'm happy with it.
I've been meaning to requite feedback afterward I've bought the your recommended 32″, the Benq EW3280U, for ca. 520 EUR excl. VAT from amazon.de (hopefully through your affiliate link;). I've been using it for a petty over half a year and been very content. I used i1 display pro for calibrations.
Really good:
– at 120cd/m2, gamma2.two, and 5000K (suitable for print comparison…or 5500K depending on your light source) I got 93% Adobe RGB coverage. That is improve than whatever other temperature (at 6500K/180nits for video editing I get 86% AdobeRGB but 97% DCI P3). Ever >99.twenty% sRGB coverage. White point tin can exist well calibrated with small deltas in comparison to daylight bend (dE 2000 < 1)
– dE 76 avg. is 0.58 for 6500K and around 0.85 for 6500K. dE 2000 are besides average way less than 1 (not handy, don't use them).Only adequate to me and possible dealbreaker for others:
– IPS glow is rather pronounced and there is moderate backlight bleeding. Uniformity is my biggest critique.
– Associated with that: merely boilerplate uniformity (avg. -twenty nits, max -48 nits) with still proficient contrast deviations (ca. one.5%). But that tin however amount to an deltaE of v at the far edges…which one generally shouldn't apply for colour critical comparisons. If you need a monitor that comes shut to ISO 14861, you probably take to invest considerably more coin (11/25 fields did non pass nominal tolerances) merely acceptable to bottom standards.
– in HDR mode the monitor seems to develop an emotional life of its ain, down- and upregulating brightness in mysterious moods. If you lot use information technology to watch movies every bit intended in fullscreen, not showing highly contrasting areas on the screen, information technology'southward a prissy addition.Matters of sense of taste:
– I really miss the usb hub function of my previous LG
– The surface is excellent for vibrant colors in a good monitor position without harsh lite; but if yous desire a paper-like, more textured, least reflection prone surface you might consider Dell or LG.
– The speakers are actually usable and the remote can be handy (with un-strategic push placement on the back).Summary:
The 500-600 EUR cost was fantastic for what I got. I cannot discover some other monitor, also half a year later, that I'd rather buy for a upkeep < 1200 EUR. Colour accurateness is astounding. I would not want to go back to 27″ or have less than for 4k on 32″.
I wish uniformity was better, a usb hub/connectedness was congenital in, and refresh charge per unit was college than 60Hz…non so much gaming territory every bit "fluency" land 😉
The Benq centre care settings are very useful; actually, my 120nits 5k color temp. calibration is nigh identical with the strongest eyesaver setting. (If you cannot calibrate your monitor and have upkeep constraints: consider an ikea Ledare 5000 Kelvin, or so, lamp to calorie-free your impress and ready EW3280U in eyesaver mode to compare with digital.)
To come to this forum has paid off for me: I desire to thank the host and I hope I could requite feedback that might exist of employ to someone.Thank you jens, for your kind words and likewise support. Both when yous bought the BenQ and by sharing your extensive long-term impressions. I was hoping you would come up back with some feedback for this thread and y'all didn't disappoint! It's good to encounter y'all're enjoying the monitor overall and, despite its limitations, feel it does enough to justify its price with your colour-authentic workflow in heed. I like your tip with the 5000K lamp and using the strongest LBL setting ('Reading') on the monitor too. That'south a practiced idea both to kill two birds with one stone – getting an appropriate color temperature for the task whilst besides enhancing viewing comfort!
This sort of long-term feedback is very welcome on the forum and helps shape my own recommendations whilst also being the sort of thing readers dearest to meet! 🙂
The HP U32 is a relevant improver to this thread as it has a specified 98% DCI-P3 coverage with a 31.5″ '4K' UHD panel. I believe this ane'south based around a BOE ADS-IPS console. It is 'Eyesafe' certified as covered in the news piece, and then information technology tin can exist considered to tick quite a few viewing comfort boxes. Information technology also offers full ergonomic flexibility and USB-C with 65W PD. The color consistency of these large BOE IPS-ADS panels seems to lag slightly behind alternatives from other manufacturers, inviting some losses of saturation towards the farthermost edges. And the screen surface tends to exist grainier. I tin can't say for sure this applies to the HP and the verbal panel it uses, but based on my experience with other BOE panels in the by and user feedback on models such equally the LG 32UN650 I'd still lean towards the BenQ EW3280U.

Hello. 🙂 I'thou doing photo as hobby (for the moment) and I'm looking for a budget screen to start with. And since is mostly for web, I don't want to become all out with full Adobe RGB coverage, specially because I need 32″ and 4k for my day job.
I've read this postal service and my doubt is because around here:
– the LG 32UN88A-Westward currently goes for 480€ (blackness fri)
– the BenQ EW3280U goes for 600€ but add extra 80€ for an adaptable arm
– the PD3200U goes for 600€ every bit well, but it'due south older, even though it should be ameliorate for graphic workThen one step up in price, might non be worth it:
– didn't find info on the Asus PA329CV (not the "C" version) which is around 800€
– the ViewSonic VP3268-4K for 900€
– MSI Creator PS321URV for 850€But without printing being an result and non doing professional person piece of work yet, might be better to simply save and so buy proper 100% everything next year.
More detail: I own a Datacolor SpyderX and graphics card is a Nvidia GTX 1650.
What's your advice?
