WCG or HDR10 monitor?

[Chris Harless]

Was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on this?

I just purchased an ASUS 329q Wide Color Gamut monitor. But the new HDR10 monitor from LG is going to be out soon. The LG 32ud99.

The asus specs as follows"
100% Rec. 709, 100% sRGB, 99.5% Adobe RGB, 90% DCI-P3, and Rec. 2020 color spaces

LG is short on released specs but here is what i know...

10-bit IPS panel that can reproduce 1.07 billion colors and cover over 95% of the DCI-P3 color space, while LG has said nothing about the sRGB and the Adobe RGB color spaces. The monitor will support 10-bit HDR capabilities

I do alot of graphic design and print....but also do editing/motion graphics as well.

Should i stick with the ASUS or go with the LG?

That LG has a max brightness of 550nits.

Unless you need it right now, maybe worth waiting for the new Asus ProArt Monitor to come out.

Thanks Roger! I had not seen that new Asus. Looks like the specs are bumped up a bit better than the 329q.

Actually bumped up a lot....the PA32U max brightness is 1000nits.

If the display isn't calibrated, it's all kind of bogus. The sad reality is that the manufacturer can slap a label on anything and say it can hit certain performance levels, but it may not be true. There's also a lot of sample-to-sample variations, particularly in inexpensive computer displays. A $1200 computer display is still not a grading monitor. If it's calibratable, then you have a chance of seeing something real on it.
