I'm 5 years in on my monitor and it has gotten a LOT of use. That said, it seems to still be faithfully holding its colors and I have no problems with printing at home or sending to a lab. That being said, I know that I will need to be shopping for a new monitor sometime in the future. In my spare time, I have been trying to educate myself and narrow down the monitors for when that time comes.
One thing up front, as much as I'd love to purchase and Eizo, that most likely is not going to happen. The price is simply too high for my price point, although I am willing to drop some coin, just not that much.
So as I research monitors I see a lot of them advertizing very high percentage up to 100 percent P3 color space coverage but you cannot find anything in the specs about aRGB color space coverage. I find that puzzling, and feel that I may have missed something over the last couple of years. I'm pretty sure that as a photographer who prints, I need a 99 or 100% aRGB color space monitor, but they appear to be dwindling out.
One of the better websites out there is BenQ which sort their monitors into use. So the photographer monitors are high aRGB monitors and then other uses such as video, CAD, etc., apparently have gone P3. And BenQ has a far greater selection of monitors that show high P3.
ASUS and Dell appear to either have eliminated aRGB monitors in favor of P3 or do not include that information in their specs.
What gives? Should I care as long as it is either high aRGB or P3?
Appreciate any input you may have.
