Getting a new build and need a new monitor. Currently using the benq 27 on old system and I like it but Was wondering if anyone had experience with the ASUS pro art 32? Or any other suggestions with a newer model around 700.0 dollar range. Any advice or recommendations appreciated.

I have heard pros and cons with a 4K monitor. Would it be too much for a 27 or 32 inch screen?

Only if you are using old software that doesn’t scale fonts. If you are still using Photoshop CS6 then it can be an issue although there are cumbersome workarounds. But if you are on CC or any other modern software it is no issue.

The only advice I would give, which I have for some time now, is, for critical photo editing, and especially if you plan on producing a lot of physical prints from images, I would not go with a higher resolution display such as in the 4k and up class. This is due to the interrelations techniques that are determined to render an image at 4k (or the 3840x2160 if that is this case).

I can't say with certain, details about this specific display, but there is no legitimate need for the 4k genre in photo editing, and can, inadvertently cause issues. Apple displays are very bad at this interpolation and will actually skew an image and or pixels when the interpolation is done. This can effect critical editing if that is the case.

For most, the higher resolution display such as 4k and higher won't be a problem so it is rather user specific depending on needs. Just something to be aware of.

Thank-you…. This is what I have heard before.

Hi,

I had one of these. Great monitor if you are on a PC, but hard as it is to believe I couldn't get many of the higher end features (color bit depth, color spaces, HDR, refresh rate) to work on a Mac. I had a 30+ email exchange with their tech support at 2-3 days/message which eventually ended up with them essentially giving up.

It was during that time that I found the below review - another person ran into the same issues:

The Thunderbolt and DisplayPort interfaces were the worst, but even with HDMI 2.1 on a new m2x mbp it still only did 8 bit color.

On a PC folks really like it - great specs.
