Looking for a new monitor.
27 inch screen size.
Windows PC
Lightroom Classic and Photoshop workflow
I1 Display Pro for calibration
Print on Epson Surecolor P800
Still photography only, no video
Can't decide between 4K and 2K, what are the advantages of 4K over 2K for what I would use it for ?
True 10 bit (Eizo ColorEdge CS2740 or CS 2731) vs 8 bit +frc (BenQ)?
I would appreciate any advice,
Thank you.

You want more than 8 bits pre-color IN the panel (and video card) if your goal is a full, high-bit display path, which is useful if you want to see data that has no banding without banding from the display path. Ignore Eizo (and others) suggesting higher than 10-bit is in some way 'better'. The key is more than 8 bits per color in the entire display path and data.
2K, 4K, less important IMHO (you want to see tiny, chicklet-sized UI on a 27", then you'll love 4K. I'd hate it).

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post.
I will have 10 bit through the display path and data. Graphics card and driver support 10 bit.
My concern is how significant is the difference between 10 bit and 8 bit +FRC?
Thank you.
