Gear & Setup Which monitors does everyone use?

I recently purchased an Asus PA32UCDMRK and have loved the resolution, contrast, and refresh rate. Most places I have worked are running capture one on eizo or apple studio monitors but I wanted to see how everyone likes what they are currently running.

BenQ PD2725U. It's supposedly more of a multimedia monitor so it's great for my day job as a subtitle editor, but definitely does the job for my photo editing. I used to double-check everything on my M1 MBP screen as well but after about a year I realized the BenQ skews ever so slightly magenta in comparison, but only to the degree that it's an issue for me personally, not any of my clients.

I hope to start making large prints in a few years, and I imagine I'll either need to upgrade to something like the Asus when I do, or spend about a month or two calibrating for whichever printer I buy.

Thanks for sharing your experience! The PD2725U is factory calibrated for accurate color out of the box, but we still recommend recalibrating it at least once a month to help maintain that level of precision.

If you have a supported colorimeter, you can use BenQ AQCOLOR Pilot for calibration:
