Best Computer Monitor For Film Editing

Best computer for editing videos.

Best recording/editing 4k monitor around for the $

Best monitor I have had to use for photo editing. Well worth the monitor.

This cable is just right for the short run from my computer to a second monitor used in editing.

Best Color film, used by many . loved the colors with minimal editing

I work in film editing and I have several smaller external hard drives (8TB, 5 TB, 4 TB, 2 TB, etc.). When I got a new stationary computer I decided to re-distribute what was on those smaller drives and keep a master external hard drive attached to my new computer. I got this 20TB for that purpose, and it does exactly what I need. With a stable connection and a reasonable speed of information transfer, I was able to re-organize and stabilize my existing projects, while establishing a central location for new projects as well.

Truly wonderful film that is absolutely great for scanning and then editing on a computer. Creates a perfect blend of old and new school photo technique. If I knew then what I know now... I never would have bought a digital camera, but kept shooting film and use this hybrid process.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a hobbyist photographer/videographer (I sell products but it's not my full time job) and this monitor has been excellent so far for editing. For the past several years my setup has been three 27" QHD (2K) monitors, but I recently got into drone photography and decided to replace one of the monitors with something bigger to help with editing the larger landscape photos (it has helped). I also recently built a new computer and wanted to get a 4K monitor to take advantage of the upgraded video card (that was more of a "want" than a "need" but it was definitely worth it). As for gaming, I'm way too old to be hardcore lol. For the games I do play - WOW, (non-hardcore) MOBA, strategy/simulations, etc - this monitor is a huge upgrade from a 27" QHD and delivers excellent performance. The monitor arrived well packaged with no dead pixels or any other problems. The stand isn't anything fancy but it serves its purpose - height & angle adjustability more than meet my needs (I'll probably eventually get an arm and mount it like my other 2 monitors to free up some desk space). There were some cables in the box but my desk is a little distance from my computer so I ordered a longer cable (Cable Matters DP 1.4, 16 feet) for 20 bucks and it works fine. The monitor's color gamut and brightness are great for my needs and it calibrated easily using my Spyder. I haven't used the speakers. If you need more than a billion colors, built-in hardware color calibration or an insane refresh rate, this monitor isn't for you - you'll either need to get a smaller monitor pay a lot more. But for general use, this is great monitor for the price! I've had it for 2 weeks and am very happy with the purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the LG 32GP850-B because I capture gameplay footage in HDR and edit that footage. My previous monitor didn’t have HDR so it was tough to see what I was editing until I uploaded it and watched it on a TV. This monitor has HDR so I can actually see what I’m editing correctly. This monitor is 1440p so I can see images nice and clearly and has a 165Hz refresh rate so games look amazing on it. On top of that, you can overclock the monitor to display at 185Hz which makes it even faster. I always plug my computer into a monitor using DisplayPort because it supports the highest frame rate and the monitor’s G-SYNC technology which reduces screen tearing when frame rates are higher. It also supports FreeSync if you have an AMD graphics card. This monitor is a monster in size at 32”. It is practically a small TV, perfect for streaming Netflix and Hulu. The Netflix Windows app even let me watch in HDR! You can also plug a USB cable from the monitor to your computer and use the high-speed USB ports on the monitor. The monitor comes with cables too, so you don’t need to go out and purchase a DisplayPort cable or an HDMI cable to use those features. It can also rotate 90 degrees to give you a smart phone orientation, if you are more comfortable with that for work documents in multiple windows. I am extremely happy with this monitor and would recommend it to all of my friends and family. DISCLAIMER: I received this product at a discounted price in return for my honest review.

After much research about what monitor to pair with a new computer I build for photo and video editing I went with the Dell U2723QE for the higher definition and color profile. It has been an excellent monitor for both photo and video. I have my old monitor next to it in a dual monitor setup where I place other open program and this has improved my productivity greatly
