Best Computer Monitors For Graphic Design 2015

As a graphic design student this computer is amazing. It runs CS5.5 with ease and has enough room to upgrade as the Adobe Suite grows as well. It runs dual monitors with ease. My monitors came with VGA hook-ups and I had the VGA to mini displayport adaptor but the quality was not good so I bought the apple DVI to mini display port adaptor for both monitors and the male DVI to male DVI cord and they look amazing. I guess if I had bought the apple monitors they would have plugged right in but that was not in the budget right now. For graphic designers this computer will do all you could dream of.

The best for graphic design.Love it,thanks!

My husband surprised me with an upgraded computer for my design work. I’m a freelance graphic designer and it gives me peace of mind to know that I can get the help I need if I encounter any problems with my equipment!

I use it for my graphic design samples

Love using this for graphic design and digital storyboards!

Best Vesa mount for large monitors. Solid design, but overall it is big so don’t try to use it with small monitors. I’m using it with a 23” monitor but it can support much much larger. I went with this 5/8” receiver type instead of the ones that use a ball head because my monitor would sag. With a 5/8” pin i’m using a grip ehad on a CStand and it is rock solid.

I'm an advertising and graphic design student at the Columbus College of Art & Design. This lens is amazing. It's quality and flexibility is stunning. I'm using it to create mock up's for would be ads to put into my portfolio. I do wish it had the VR (vibration reduction) that the 18-55 has. Other than that the only issue is that fellow students want to borrow it. I'm amazed at this thing I love it and I really feel the quality I'm getting out of it will help me to nab a JOB in a somewhat ominous professional landscape.

Excellent computer that is an upgrade as compared to 2015 Mac Pro

I have a 2015 Macbook Air, and use the Matrox to spread the Mac's desktop across three monitors (the Mac, and two external 24 HP monitors). The connection was so simple: the Matrox includes the mini display port and usb cables, and I connected the Matrox to the HP monitors with 2 DVI cables. No configuration was necessary: as soon as I connected the Matrox to the Macbook Air it just worked. What a great product.

I have been using a pair of Tannoy Reveal monitors in my home studio for the last 20+ years, but to get decent frequency response I needed to use a 15 band graphic EQ and a Rane frequency analyzer... comes with a reference mic and a pink noise generator -- you try to adjust the EQ while watching the LEDs bounce up and down and adjust each band until the frequency response looks flat. I always had to tweak the EQ setting (maybe defeating the purpose) to make them sound more natural. Then I decided to upgrade my monitors. I went to the B&H store in NYC and listened to half a dozen, including Genelec, Yamaha, and others. I finally bought the Focal Alpha 65 EVO, which sounded the richest and yet were half the price of the Genelec 5. Bringing them home, they sounded much better with no EQ than the Reveals did with no EQ, but not as good as the EQ'd Reveals. I wanted to make sure I wasn't coloring the sound. So I bought the Sonarworks Reference 4 item. Well, it worked great. It comes with a very sturdy-looking reference mic. It was fairly easy to set up, it acquired sound points from about 36 spots in my listening area, and it took me about an hour to create a detailed frequency response curve. It has an application (and a plug in) that automatically corrects your computer's monitor sound output to flatten the speaker response. It seems to work great! The Focal monitors were fairly flat except for a peak at around 150 Hz, which the Sonarworks flattened, without having to resort to a graphic EQ. Unfortunately there's quite a bit of falloff below 100 Hz that I can measured, so beware... you will need a subwoofer with these monitors if you want to mix music. However, for general audio projects they would be a great addition to any studio.
