Best monitor for photo editing?
Q. I'm a photographer and looking to purchase a new monitor for photo editing to plug into my laptop. What do you recommend?
A. Due in part to Adobe, and their Photoshop software, digital photography has grown with tremendous celerity over the past decade. Computer monitor technology for editing and viewing photos is constantly advancing. CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors are the relic of the industry, while LCD (liquid crystal display) monitors make up the bulk of products used world-wide today. There are four main types of LCD panels, though IPS (in-plane switching) monitors are likely used in most photography schools.
Twisted Nematic
These products are typically cheaper to make, and are widely used by most manufacturers. TN monitors represent 6-bits of color, which is among the lowest color accuracy of LCD products. The angles of view are limited; the picture clarity diminishes when looking from side or top angles. The refresh rate of TN LCD monitors, which refers to the number of frames drawn of a given image per second, is under six miliseconds, fast enough to warrant popularity in the tech fields, gaming more than photography.
Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment
MVA monitors are a mid-range product that offer 8-bit color range, and brightness of a higher grade than TN models. MVA technology tilts the crystals in the display at different positions, creating viewing angles that are wider than TN, though not as wide as those found in IPS models. The refresh rate of a MVA product is fast and similar to that of a TN model. MVA panels are versatile and fast, suitable for photography, or animation and programming.
Patterned Vertical Alignment
PVA technology is in the same class of MVA, offering wide viewing angles and
8-bit color reproduction. The contrast ratio in PVA monitors is higher than that of TN or MVA products. Some manufacturers offer Super Patterned Vertical Alignment Technology (S-PVA), with upgraded 10-bit and 16-bit color displays. This level of color reproduction ability makes an S-PVA monitor more suitable for photography and design.
In-Plane Switching
IPS monitors are of the more expensive, professional class of photography monitors. The range of colors represented in IPS products is greater and fuller due to a true 8-bit color display. Some models are limited by slower refresh rates. The angles of view in IPS monitors are unparalleled by any other LCD panel in their wideness, making them the standard for photography and graphic design. Apple is one company that uses IPS technology in their high-performance machines.
