I currently have a AOC Q3279VWFD8 QHD 75Hz Freesync IPS 32in and while it is ok for gaming it is really horrible for editing images, yesterday I got some prints done and even though I have calibrated the display with a colormunki smile I was seeing colours in my prints that I never seen in my images on my screen. Currently I am keen on the BenQ SW2700PT 27" QHD Adobe RGB Professional Monitor as it seems to be apart from going all out on an eizo the right display for the job. The Benq at the price it is on evilbay is pretty much my limit though. I do still want to play the odd game and I am not sure it can handle that. So any advice is appreciated or you might even have another option to throw into the mix for me to consider. Cheers. Oh I play first person shooters etc but above all else my Photography comes first.
