So last year I was going to replace my aging Mac, now well over 7years old, with a shiny new Mac book pro. However given I have a new state of the art pc that I use for playing VR games on I figured a better use of my funds would be to buy a really good large screen and start using the desk top and get rid of the Mac.
So what should I be looking for, it’s really about the editing not gaming specs, I’d like a 32 inch screen, is curved ok or does it change the perspective?
I want to make prints from the editing so coloring reproduction accuracy is very important.
Any suggestions, price wise 800-1500 ish?
Plus I assume a transition from Mac to pc should be simple enough?
Won’t be able to answer for a few days as in hong kong right now and about to fly back to nyc tomorrow, a pleasant 15hour flight, so excuse me, I’m not ignoring anyone!
Thanks

Thanks. I think the BenQ SW320 looks like a winner, a bit pricey, but In for a penny in for a pound and all that.
Hopefully it will save me in the long run when making prints they will come out how I wanted them rather than off color , contrast and brightness like my last 2 efforts I paid for!
