Hi,
First time here for a long time. Anyway, I came here today to see if I could get some good advice on what monitor to buy. I want a monitor that can cover the whole of Adobe RGB, can be corrected (using suitable colorimeter) and will remain reasonably stable through its life.
I have been using a 1600x1200 19" TFT LCD Monitor (IIyama AU4831D, so old you might not be able to find anything on it. In its time, I thought it quite good, but recently I have been unable to get a reasonable color management profile sorted, it just won't calibrate. Not to worry, it is about 6 or 7 years old, so I am now ready to buy new.
I came across an HP Professional DreamColor monitor, retailing at about £1800, which out-gamuts most of the gamuts
Covering a staggering 133 per cent of the NTSC colour space, the LP2480zx comes pre-programmed to support the sRGB, Adobe RGB, SMPTE-C and Rec.709/601 colour spaces in full, as well as DCI-P3 at 95 per cent, while you can also pre-configure one colour space yourself or use the 'Full' colour gamut mode.
But it IS also staggeringly expensive. Has anyone any suggestions which approach this, and are, say, less than about £1000/$1500 ??
