Chris,

I just watched your You Tube bit on the Huey… Thank you. I was wondering if maybe you could assist me. I am a graphic artist in the print industry and my old CTR just quit. What is the best monitor for
cmyk proofing?

Thanks for your help,

Susie

I’ll let Maura Desimone from Color & Design Trends, who is also a Graphic Designer, answer that question:

Design professionals, such as photographers and graphic designers, rely on efficient & accurate equipment to achieve successful results for their clients and themselves. In this day and age of digital media & printing, the process of selecting appropriate hardware can be very confusing- there are hundreds of choices available. Having a computer monitor that you know will perform can save you time & money when proofing for output. The monitors below are known for their accuracy:

The Eizo monitors are superior when it comes to color accuracy and soft proofing capabilities. In addition to bundled calibration tools, they have widescreens, flexible arms and are Energy Star rated. An excellent choice for designers and photographers. Make sure you check the platform…some will work only on a Mac or PC, some will work on both.

1. Eizo ColorEdge CG301W Black w/ Hood for $4999 + Free Shipping at ColorHQ.com

The Eizo ColorEdge CG301W has a color gamut that covers 97% of the Adobe RGB color space and has 16-bit internal processing, competing with high-end CRT monitors. This 30″ premium monitor comes bundled with EIZO-developed software for incredible color accuracy and consistency. It provides a resolution of 2560×1600, giving you more than twice as many pixels to work with.

Another, more economical choice of monitor with excellent soft proofing capabilities and color accuracy would be the LaCie monitors.

2. LaCie 324 24″ LCD Monitor for $931.99 + Free Shipping at TheNerds.net

This 24″ widescreen monitor provides a vast range of intense color. With an imbedded 10-bit gamma correction, it calculates color transitions with twice as much precision a typical 8-bit monitor. This monitor is also available with Blue Eye color calibration software to ensure your color remains accurate. The software is fast & easy to install.
