There is a saying that is good, 'the monitor is selected wrong design white', unprofessional display usually brings out the picture when the color, color cast, color inaccuracy and other problems, it is difficult to look directly, like 'seller show and seller The difference between shows, we can make up the brain.
The same is true for photographers. In addition to a camera with excellent performance, a professional display with high color accuracy is also essential. Otherwise, even if the photos taken are good, the display cannot be accurately displayed, resulting in post-processing. There is an error, it is difficult to achieve 'WYSIWYG'.
In a word, the display is very important for the presentation of the effect of the work. The ordinary display can not provide a good guarantee in terms of color reliability, color saturation, color reproduction accuracy, etc., especially when the RAW format photo is adjusted using an editor. The monitor does not reflect the changes that occur after tuning the parameters.
So how can a professional monitor be selected in order to qualify as a designer, professional photographer?
Look at the color of the monitor
First of all, we must make it clear that professional monitors pay attention to 'what you see is what you get', that is, to restore the most realistic image without color distortion. This is the essence of professional displays.
At present, there are two indicators of the professional display monitor: color reproduction accuracy and visual effects. It mainly contains the following parameters: color number, color gamut, color accuracy, resolution, color calibration and so on.
A good professional monitor must use a 10-bit wide viewing angle panel. The display color number can reach 1.67 billion, which is 64 times that of a normal monitor. The display color number refers to the number of colors displayed on the screen at most. There is no doubt that the more The better.
The color gamut represents the specific situation in which a color image can represent color.
We basically think that the color gamut coverage is up to 99%. AdobeRGB can only be considered professional, and it must have built-in multiple color gamut models, such as NTSC, DCI-P3, etc., but many so-called 'professional monitors' actually reach only 100. %sRGB wide color gamut entry level, professionalism is not good enough.
Of course, the most important thing is the color reproduction accuracy ΔE, which can reflect the difference between the display color and the standard value. In general, the color accuracy ΔE ≤ 2, is very professional in terms of color performance.
Visual effects are also important
In addition, in order to achieve better visual effects, the resolution and size of professional displays also need to be matched. For professional users, 1080P Full HD cannot meet their needs anymore. Higher resolutions can help better. Designers view, modify design details.
27-inch large size with 2K and 4K ultra-high resolution, in order to complete the picture details.
In addition, the color calibration of the monitor is also very important for professional displays. After the monitor is professionally calibrated, the display can be displayed more accurately. After all, most users do not fully understand colors, and they are prone to errors.
And the precision of the color calibration equipment used by the factory is much better than that of the spiders used by consumers everyday. Most people must pay attention to the factory calibration report when they purchase a professional monitor.
In addition, the monitor's flexible bracket base design allows users to share the work, and the narrow bezel design can also meet the needs of multi-screen splicing for professional users.
At present, the number of people engaged in visual work is constantly on the rise. The demands of users on the display are constantly being refined, and they are constantly being improved. When purchasing professional displays, we must not only pay attention to product parameters, but also pay attention to actual performance. , which is what we talked about in the article.
Of course, these are just for the general professional population. For industrial users, it is not only necessary to pay attention to these points. This article is intended to guide consumer-level users to choose, and will not go into details.
So, small partners, design is not good, may wish to see if their own display is not professional enough?
