Monitor for photoshop

[sharadn]

I need to purchase a monitor here in Switzerland for editing my photo files. I have an older HP32" consumer model that I have been using in the States and it will stay there. It was calibrated reasonably well for Epson P900 but I always have to make test prints. This can get expensive. My budget is around $1000 or less. I would prefer a 32" but I think a 27" would be OK also. I know that BenQ has quite a selection. I am not an expert and am not really sure what spec I would need. Appreciate any suggestions.

HB3201UHSNP-B1 or U3225QE - both have most recent IPS Black 2.0 panel with increased CR 3000:1, AGLR (antireflex coating), wide gamut, and both are factory calibrated. HB3201 is cheaper and it has uniformity compensation, U3225 has 120Hz.

I ended up buying the ASUS ProArt PA329CV with the Xrite Calibrite Display Pro HL here in Switzerland from Galaxus/Digitech. I would have loved to buy an Eizo or higher end Benq but I for what I do (non-professional except for some gallery sales) I could not justify the cost. I do not have a business to charge against and I thought being able to calibrate it was more important than to have a top of the line monitor. Everything here in Switzerland is much more expensive than in the US. By the time you pay international shipping and import duties it was cheaper to buy here. I thank all for your help

Follow up on new monitor purchase: Supposedly the ASUS ProArt PA329CV comes precalibrated from the factory complete with a calibration certification. New out of the box I am seeing that my images in photoshop are much colder that the actual prints. I am printing to an HPZ3200 which has a sticker on it for Pantone color, so I am assuming (maybe incorrectly) that the printer should closely match my monitor. As stated they do not. I did also purchase a calibriteHL to calibrate my display which I have not used yet because I was thinking I should not have to calibrate my brand new monitor. The reason that I bought this monitor was that I was making too many test prints from working off of my laptop screen. I have my photoshop view set to monitor RGB. Any suggestions as to what I can do to get my screen to more closely match my printer output?

You always need to adjust RGB gain to match monitor white to paper white. Paper white is completly unpredictable as it's always dependent on specific lightning and paper properties.

Thank you. Can you tell me how?
