4k is redundant as long as you don't want to put your head 10cm in front of you screen. The biggest impact you will have with 4K is much more hardware hungry.

Oh not so close the screen, I think right now my 24" FHD screen is at.... 60/70cm from me
I want a 27" screen, there are some nice 2K and 4K, but then 2K are more expensive than the 4k (in some cases, which is really weird xD)
Was reading that 27" 2K is a nice size/resolution ratio, but then again while searching there are some 27" 4K monitors for same money or even less
and that's where I feel lost xD

What do you mean with 2K. 2K is FHD with 1920x1080p when it comes to resolution.

Okay let's call it 2.5K then (2560×1440p)

I have both. 2x 1440p and 1x 1080p and the difference isn't really visible, seriously. I think that's more placebo, if people spend money for 4K they want to think it looks much better. It depends more on the kind of monitor you get. You will always have better contrast and colors when it's a more expensive monitor. When you want more colors and your budget isn't really small you should get a IPS panel monitor which shows you alot more colors. IPS instead of TN will have more value than 4k instead of 1440p for you as artist.

http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/p.....l=es&s=dhs the difference between colors is huuuuuuge compared to TN. But I think you said in the past you have a IPS panel, but I'm not sure.

IPS panels have usually a much bigger latency though. I'm not sure if it's the best for drawing. Perhaps try to find some feedback from 2D artist having a IPS on the internet, if it's a option to you.

Sorry for the late reply, I couldn't comment until now
will respond to the 3 comments here ^^

about first, is a pity I haven't seen any 1440p irl or next to a 1080p, because would be nice to compare, but I trust your experience so thanks fpr that info :)
yeah expensive should mean better that's for sure,and yes IPS is the idea, as when I first was searching for the actual monitor I have ^^

about second, yes I have seen that Dell, is one of the options I'm considering (for around 419€ here), I saw few videos where people compared IPS and TN and the colour difference is huge yes.
And you are right, good memory ^^ it is IPS (LG 24MP77HM-P 23.8" LED IPS)

I'm not sure about latency (I'm a noob hehe) but I'll try to get some feedback, thanks Surody ^^

As someone who uses 2 4k monitors next to each other (30" main and 40"), I am one of these people who like that actually. It is personal preference of course, since I am also gaming and do have a high end pc, which I update regularly. But one thing I love (and I sit normally in front of my desk and can see clear differences. with a monitor larger than 28" 1080p is very blurry. ) is that I have a lot of space to use. I can watch videos next to Sai or PS and still have enough space to put up references. Multitasking is easier for me there.

It really depends on what you are using them for though. And, some programs do have problems with different monitors having different resolutions. Sai for example didn't like me using a 4k next to a 1080p monitor when I had to use an older tv as second screen. So if you don't have a 4k now I would not suggest you get one. They are more expensive, especially if you want a good one as well.

Ohhhh your desktop must look amazing owo
congrats for that by the way, if you can have it why the heck not having it! :'D
I bet it must be a pleasure to have so many space and nice resolution ^^

Yeah like I said to Surody all I have now is a 24" 1080p screen, which will be relegated to second screen hehe as soon as I get "the new one" x3
They are expensive indeed, but even QHD are expensive compared to some 4K (my ideal budget is around 400/500€ and there are some options of both resolutions, only 27/28" as I don't have space for bigger monitor + would be more money..)

Thanks for your comment dear <3

Yeah I know the struggle xD I only changed to 4k when my old screen broke and I thought fuck it, you have 4k blurays (plus drive) so why not xD (i had some money saved)
For 27" 1080p is totally alright, for everything above I would suggest more since the quality of the image starts suffering. Maybe just get a cheaper one and someday get two new ones?

hehehe ^^ yey for money saved!
I think 27" would be nice, because I don't want another 24", 25" would be just a lil bigger... but there are many 32" monitors now also, I saw a HP QHD (2560x1440p) for around 380/400€
If I get more lost than I am right now lol with so many options, maybe I'll go for a 27" 1080p, there are some nice ones for less money, thanks for your comment dear ^^

Very welcome. I know the struggle actually. I had to really think about mine as well before I got it xD (for gaming you need fast reaction time and the more herz the better xD)
I wouldn't advice to take a 32" with only 1440p though, it wouldn't have the nice crisp/sharp quality in picture quality. i think for what you want 27 or 28 is enough for that resolution =)

oh btw, no matter which screen you get (except the 800€+ ones which are colour true)
you will need a colour adjustment thingie (i don#t know the name in english, sorry) which adjusts your colours to what they really should be. (if you ever want to do printable media especially) I got the spyder5 adjustment tool, don't know if there are other good ones out there (probably)

Yeah, I have been thinking about it and will continue until I have a clear choice :) because is worth waiting and being sure about what really you need ^^
Thankies, I think I'll stick to 27/28 and 1440p <3

ah yes, some aren't colour calibrated, thanks for the info, I thought of getting one if someday I plan to do prints, worth tool for sure :)

would something like this suffice?

she's not gaming, 144Hz and freesync are wasted. :P

27" 1440p and $300, the rest are bonuses.

Thanks for your comment and suggestion ^^
I'm not sure yet, but I'll check it and compare to the current ones I have seen

I have a bit of of experience. Biggest thing is make sure the Monitor is IPS and not TN. TN sucks for art, bad colors, not good viewing angles. They're slightly cheaper most of the time.

The rest of the specs are up to you. a higher res will naturally display things on the screen smaller but you can scale them up in windows. Depends on how much you hate pixels. I think the higher rest monitors looks great, but 1080 is fine for general use. I wouldn't want to draw on one anymore though, pixel density is low. Since your face is sitting a bit closer to the screen

hey Maney! ah yes IPS is what I have in mind, like I said to Surody the 24" I have now is IPS also, I'm really happy with it and how it displays colours and the viewing angles :)
you are right, some models I checked had TN panel (when the price was cheaper hehe)

I think I wouldn't mind things being displayed smaller, as you said also that can be solved by scaling up. About pixels, well in the laptop I had they were more visible comparing to the screen I use now, if I look at it closer I can see them, but almost placing my face at 15cm of it. But higher res should look better I think
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it a lot :)

My cintiq is 2k at 13 inches, so it has a very high pixel density. I have good eyes, so I personally keep all my things real tiny, like my words and stuff. It makes it easier for me to read. But yeah, I think generally the clearer resolutions and smaller things just.. feel nicer? More expensive, but I think worth it ;>

I've been waiting for the new cintiqs coming out in january. I used to have a 22HD but the pixels were just too big to be up on a screen that close. but the new ones will be 4k, and I think that will make the drawings much clearer up close~

Ah Cintiq :3 I have a good sight for small things also, always wrote using small words so I know what you mean ^^

Those must look amazing, I hope to being able and see one (test it would be even better) someday ;w;
if you plan to get a new one with 4K, yay for that and post a photo of it, I loove seeing other artists's work places/tools :D

ouo Can do~ I can also get pictures of my current setup~

I'll need to be selling my current cintiq in a few months when I upgrade u-u

Here's a picture of my setup from a couple months ago. It's just a bit messier now and has an ipad on a stand: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B.....2szZjZTYzlTOFE

:D what a nice setup Maney!

aww but the upgrade will be worth it *hug*
Is a really nice work place :3

Thanks n-n My computer is most of what I have, so I make sure everything is nice :> The rest of my room is pretty barren xD
