Hello,

I am looking for a new monitor.

Must have:

• 27" minimum
• 2560*1440px minimum
• hardware calibration (internal 3D-LUT)
• good viewing angles (although not critical, I will NOT have somebody looking over my shoulder)
• good panel uniformity
• smooth gradient reproduction

Good to have:

• "4K" / UltraHD resolution
• good Adobe RGB coverage
• good DCI-P3 coverage
• HDR (HLG and/or PQ)
• hood

Important note: I am familiar with color management and wide gamut monitors. I own an X-Rite i1Display Pro colorimeter.

Budget:

• target: less than 1000€
• maximum 1200€

Important note: second hand/refurb monitors are OK

Purpose:

• photo editing (90%)
• video editing (10%)

I was considering:

• BenQ SW271 (about 1000€ refurb from rusted seller)
• BenQ SW320
• Dell UP3216Q

But I am open to any other suggestion!

Thanks!
