Thoughts on the Asus PA329Q vs Dell UP3216Q vs (something else)?
Need something high quality, color accurate, for 8-bit sRGB (Rec.709) delivery (I am delivering final professional video content to web/consumer devices, not to theater or broadcast).
Strong panel uniformity, strong color accuracy (low delta error), accurate gamma, etc. I don't need Adobe RGB, don't have a true 10-bit pipeline (no quadro/workstation card) but I may add one in the future, and most of the best panels seem to be 10-bit wide gamut (adobe RGB) anyhow.
One concern is that if everything at 4k is sort of a half-baked implementation of Rec.2020/HDR right now, is it wise to invest in that technology today, or better to just get a really quality sRGB 32" 4k monitor and upgrade again in a few years once the implementation is better? I have no expectation to be working in Rec.2020 HDR in the next 3 years, but I'm all about "future proofing" if today's implementation is good at this price point.
I've been leaning towards the Asus ProArt 32" model, here for either $995 or $1249:
Asus PA328q: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YWD9ZZM...ing=UTF8&psc=1
VS the $250 more expensive model which includes DIC-P3 and Rec. 2020 and 14-bit LUT
Asus PA329q https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F6D1ITM...ding=UTF8&th=1
Thinking to just go with the better version (PA329q) with all the bells and whistles, unless it's a waste of money long term (Again, doubt I will take advantage of DIC-P3, Rec2020, HDR, etc. in the next 3 years or so, and if that implementation is half-baked, why spend more?).
Any other models I should be considering instead, over the ASUS? Ezio is out of the question price wise of course, but there's the Dell, HP, LG panels I have heard about. Why might I prefer a different model OVER this Asus?
IMPORTANT NOTE: I already own the X-rite i1 Display Pro color calibrator, GTX 1080 TI, as well as the ASUS PG279q 27" 1440p IPS G-Sync panel (which will be a B-screen for work, and will swivel in to be my primary gaming display). So, while it'd be great to have another 144hz G-Sync display but @ 4K, it can NOT be at the expense of color accuracy for work. If a 32" 4k display that does BOTH is right around the corner, my timing here is not urgent, but as I understand those features will likely be more for gaming focused displays, not as well suited to pro color accuracy, and this display is intended primarily for productivity. But if I can have my cake and eat it too, sure, owning a 4K gaming ready display when faster-than-1080 TI-GPUs launch would be cool, though I am assuming not feasible anytime in the next 6-12 months).
Thank you all!!
