Available at a tempting price (although there are some stock issues in the US), this is a solid choice of monitor for creatives. See our Huawei Mateview review for more details.Īsus has updated its flagship ProArt 4K display, the ProArt PA32UC-K, with a more premium appearance, 10-bit colour, a whole new set of inputs (including Thunderbolt 3), much higher 1000-nit brightness and even better accuracy, now using a 14-bit look-up table (LUT). The sleek, slim-bezel design is a nice addition too, and the touch-sensitive smart bar provides an ergonomic way to control the monitor. It also has a maximum brightness level of 500 nits, and a 1200:1 contrast ratio. Its IPS panel is capable of displaying 100 per cent of the sRGB colour gamut, and 98 per cent of the DCI-P3 video colour space. The MateView is pretty firmly pitched at working creatives. Of course, the flip side is that widescreen video will have big black bars on the top and bottom – so it’s probably not the best choice for movie-watching This slightly squarer format is good for viewing certain types of content – viewing images and documents in portrait format is easier, and a picture taken on a standard camera can be displayed full bleed. Most displays are 16:9 or 16:10 format, which makes the 3:2 Huawei Mateview immediately attention-getting.

See our Eizo ColorEdge CG319X review for more information. If money is no object, the Eizo ColorEdge CG319X is the best 4K monitor you can buy right now. There's a built-in calibration tool to constantly keep your colours as accurate as possible, which pops across the screen every time it's powered on, along with a bundled monitor hood. This may bother you, and may not, but it's worth noting.

The design of the ColourEdge CG319X is arguably a little dull and utilitarian, certainly less sleek than others on this list.

This reflects the different, slightly taller 4K standard used in digital video production, compared with the 3840 x 2160 resolution used in most computer displays. All of this monitor's features come together to produce a jaw-dropping image, making your creative work shine. Unlike other 4K monitors, the CG318-4K has a 4096 x 2160 resolution. Eizo displays are a very familiar sight in professional video and photography studios – and this 31-inch 4K monitor, with a 10-bit display and 24-bit colour look-up table, represents a big upgrade over its predecessor. The CG319X also boasts one feature that sets it apart from all competing high-end 4K screens. The Eizo ColourEdge CG319X is undoubtedly the connoisseur’s choice in high-quality displays.
