![]() ![]() ![]() Ultra-wide monitors are usually aimed at gaming or general computer use, so it’s nice to see ViewSonic offering graphic artists a massive 37.5-inch 21:9 display with the VP3881. Ultra-wide displays such as this are like having two smaller monitors together on the desk, without a bezel breaking up the desktop space. See our full, in-depth Eizo ColorEdge CG319X review for more details. Most of us will skip this option after taking one glance at the price, but if money is no object, we think this is the best monitor for photo editing you can buy, only placing at number 3 because of the cost. The CG319X is designed – and priced – for a niche professional audience that needs the best possible colour, and when we tested it for ourselves, we found that it certainly delivers, offering phenomenal colour accuracy and excellent features in a solid, sturdy, if not particularly exciting looking build. The ColorNavigator 7 colour management software can be used by teams to ensure accuracy across a project. ![]() And new to this generation are hybrid-log gamma and perceptual quantisation for working with HDR video – something that will be of most interest to studios and freelancers working with high-end imagery. ![]() It has a unique built-in hardware colour calibration tool that pops down with a click every time the monitor is power cycled, ensuring the colours remain in sync without needing to use a third-party colourimeter. It also supports a slightly wider 4K resolution of 4096 x 2160, conforming to the professional DCI 4K standard used by some professional studios. The latest version of Eizo’s flagship 31-inch professional monitor, the Eizo ColorEdge CG319X boasts an unmatched 24-bit look-up table for 10-bit colour depth, supporting 99% AdobeRGB, 100% Rec.709 and 98% DCI-P3 colour spaces. Some features aren't necessary for non-prosĮizo has a reputation for being the ultimate professional photo-editing monitor brand, and the first time you see the clarity, vivacity and brightness of an Eizo display, it’s immediately obvious why – and why its photo-editing monitors are so much more expensive than those of competitors – and more expensive than most PCs. See our full BenQ SW321C review for more details. The monitor supports USB-C with power delivery up to 60W, so you can connect a laptop and get power and data over a single cable. The Paper Color Sync mode helps you create a colour space based on your printer and paper type for more accurate previewing, while M Book mode makes the screen more closely match a MacBook Pro to allow easy transition between screens. There are plenty of other useful touches. We've found the colour precision and uniformity across the screen to be close to faultless, and when combined with the detail of the 4K display, this is a screen that allows you to view your work in glorious detail. And the screen comes expertly calibrated, although it also offers hardware calibration independent of your computer. It boasts 99% Adobe RGB, 100% sRGB and 95% P3 gamut coverage, and you can quickly switch between colour spaces thanks to a separate control unit. It's not cheap by any means, but it's not the most expensive screen either, offering a good balance between price and quality – because the quality is fantastic. We rate the BenQ SW321C as the best monitor for photo editing overall. ![]()
