Is there a low cost monitor for photo adjustments?

Great video from you. I like your style:)

Many times lab prints are inaccurate so even though your screen is fine you end up with a bad print.

And as any photo lab technician would say "our printer is the best and well calibrated"

I do stock photography and what seems to be working for me is to shoot things or models that you're very familiar with.Then you can easily compare prints with something your eyes eye used to in terms of colors and tones.

Have you looked at the Asus PA246Q Proart monitor? P-IPS screen you can buy for under $500? I bought an open box for $420 3 year Warranty. Individually calibrated at the factory. So for it has been everything I want.

Great video. My problem is I own an iMac and since that's a all in one computer, it would make my desk cramped up to have two monitors side by side. I respect your opinion on this subject, you tell it like it is. I've been struggling with screen to print match forever. Have you guys heard about the we canon pro 1 printer that's soon to be released. Supposedly that is the answer to our problems. Hope to see you guys do a review on that.

A LOT OF TALK...But you never showed the other monitors, the one that really matches your print...Why? 5:54 minutes with no proof

I profiled my low cost monitor and I get the same on my prints as I see on screen

[jerseyman9080]

Well you may have problem due to low cost monitor, But i have a brand new MBP, Nikon 70-200mm vr3, 85mm vr 1.4g, 105mm vr 2.8 my camera, monitor shows me the best color i want to go with but when i get print out, same problem like yours. So what should i do ?

[video4photo]

We do own all the spectros and colorimters and do a complete test before we present info like this. We don't cram all that into a video or article because it confuses most folks.

Also, might I suggest that you be a little more professional in your comments here? Ordering me to "make a new video or delete this one" is a little disrespectful don't you think?

Naaah its not so obvious about this one.

Tarzan12345 is right P221w is a a wide gamut PVA monitor. You should use spectrophotometer, to get exact results. and use SpectraView II (85$) wich would update LUT in the monitor.

Make a new video or delete this one because it`ll make people confused.

[tarzan12345]

Thanks for making this video. I still feel a little unfair for this little NEC P221w though. The i1Display2 has been known not to work well with wide gamut monitor and it is not recommended to use it for this NEC. That's why NEC had to have their puck customized to work with their wide gamut monitors. I'm wondering how it would perform if you had calibrated it using your better calibrator or NEC Spectraview II.

[luxxart]

thank you for that video. sounds (and reads - I mean the article) convincing, but I would be even more convinced if you could you show us one of your recommended monitors in the same video, next to this one.
