As an aside, here in the UK the NEC Spectraview monitors used to be stocked by specialist colour management companies such as Color Confidence and also by many higher end photographic outlets, but this seems to be no more. Both these type of outlets now only stock Eizo and BenQ. Can anyone account for this change, please?

Probably a higher profit margin would be a primary cause?

I'm currently shooting with the FujiFilm GFX 50S but will move to a 60 or 100 in the near future.

I'm currently shooting with Z7 cameras and have no intention to change.

If I was considering 100MP I'd be testing 4K.

Yes, I would imagine so.

The iterations of variables that can be considered in this "equation" are without limits.

Decided to go for a mid level QLED yesterday morning - brought it home - hooked it up and immediately calibrated with my X-Rite iPro kit.

All I need, and more than I expected!!
Will spend the cash saved on my next update camera or more like photo trip once the vaccine it out, etc.

Samsung QLED 60T 43" flatscreen for $428.00!

So much "real estate" that is sharp and excellent color balance. 
The default was not too far out of wack but the X-Rite brought it all into better than I had hoped for!

Thanks for input - Jack
