Monitor replacement

[Elines]

My current BenQ monitor is old technology and does not support colour calibration - it is ~ 9 years old.

In looking at reviews to help me choose a new one, most reviews seem to be about 8 months old or more. The two most recent ones I found are:

Best Monitors for Photo Editing: 11 Pro Picks Compared - PhotoWorkout

11 best monitors for photo editing 2026 for photographers, ranked by specs. ASUS ProArt 27” and BenQ SW272U lead for uniformity, 16 bit LUT, USB C. Explore.

Needless to say, they don't come to the same conclusion.

Anybody got any views on best procedure/reviewers to help in choosing a new monitor that is primarily for photography?

I can recommend the ASUS Pro Art. It's a nice piece of kit and is self calibrating.

 

[Elines]

Thanks Johnny - self calibration sounds good.

Is that the monitor you have?

 

[John2]

Yes it is. I eventually stopped using my calibrator because the screen never seemed to need adjustment. I've had mine for about 5 years and it's still going strong.

Thanks for the clarification

And apologies for the ’Johnny’ - typo

No need. I've been called worse.
