Would this be a decent monitor for photo editing? I'm currently using two 15" displays on Win7 and it's hard t0 color match.

I'm a wedding photographer full time and this monitor is excellent. I would say the photos come out a bit more vibrant on other screens, but it's nothing that ruins the image. Hope that helps!

la vedad no estoy seguro, lo que le puedo decir es que para edición de fotos son mejores los que tienen pantallas ips pues los colores son mas reales y tienen mejor contraste que este monitor.

As someone who does photo editing for part of my annual income, I can definitely say that this is an excellent monitor for that purpose. Once you see your images on this 27" screen, you'll probably recycle your two 15" displays.

I think, with all the tweaking options available on this display,it'd be a color 'match-maker'!!

It all depends in your price range, personally this is the best monitor I have ever owned, and I'm considering getting a second one

Hi Ricardo I did receive the Asus and am impressed with its capabilities, even running Win7 no problems, oncew in a while the pen get glitchie but I think its user error and as I have not installed CS5 Photoshop yet, won't know the complete difference between a 12inch Cintique verses a Asus. As far as operating system win 7 is great , connects to my network of 4 computers and print via wiresly easily. Good luck Enjoy

you will probably want to install another 4Gb DIMM and SSD drive - so you will be looking at extra $100 if you do it yourself. otherwise it might be too slow for photoshop

I can only speak for myself, but I really don't care for the glossy screens. I have one on my Dell laptop and it looks great in perfectly controlled lighting; However, it is very reflective and I find myself adjusting the screen angle more than I would like. I am also looking at this monitor, which looks like a good deal, but I think I'll go with a matte screen.

You may want to look at the review of this monitor over at tftcentral. They cover all the details.

Yes you will but I don't think you will like the results...very poor pics on both monitors..you cut the power in half so you get half the quality!

That is the true contrast ratio. Other monitors that claim things like 8,000,000:1 are using adaptive dimming and other tricks to attain that. The proof is in the picture, and this monitor has excellent picture. A calibration solution with hardware puck is A MUST though!

My monitor was ready to go out of the box. Dell provided a sheet listing the color calibration the monitor went through prior to shipment. This monitor is for personal use, so it wasn't necessary for me to second-guess the calibration. If this is for professional use, you may wish to double-check it to ensure it meets your needs. This monitor does give off a very noticeable shimmer when working in white background. Some users may find this distracting, but I'm very happy with the monitor and color regardless.

Yes I have used it with both CS6 & CC it is capatible with those programs. Make sure you use a DVI, Displayport, or HDMI 1.3 (or higher) cable to take full advantage of the monitor's color gamut.

Not so great for photo editing. Only a few LED-backlit monitors have even color across the whole screen. Also, this monitor is quite bright, and is operating outside of its comfort range when turned down to 80 candelas/square meter, the standard photo editing brightness. Good for the other things though. I think the requirements for movie-watching and photo editing are quite dissimilar, especially in the brightness department. Jim

If by editing you mean cropping then fine, but the screen colors are not very accurate if you are going to be making color adjustments. You can get more accurate colors on an external monitor though.

It's excellent. I am professional photographer and it come color corrected for RGB and is true to color. I purchased it for just that reason. The photo mags rate it up there with monitors costing three times as much.

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.

How are the graphics for Photoshop work. I'm looking for true color and tone. Does the display have a wide viewing area that stays relatively the same?M Chelini

I have had mine for about three weeks. I am in the process of getting ready to write a review, but to address your specific question: Yes, it is an excellent choice for a work monitor. The screen real estate at native resolution is simply enormous. If you have Windows 8, I would suggest setting the font size to 125 percent or 150 percent, otherwise there might be some readability issues. This does not work as well with Windows 7, but you can try it. I use mine for video editing, coding, general web-surfing, gaming, etc. You can easily fit several windows on the screen without any issue. I currently use a 24 inch 1:9 monitor in portrait mode in conjunction with the Yamakasi. It works great for my needs, and you if you use a lot of applications, you might want to consider using another monitor as well. To give you an idea of how large the Yamakasi is, the 24 inch 16:9 monitor in portrait mode is only several inches taller than the Yamakasi in landscape.
