Its time to upgrade my digital darkroom . Per my plan I am close to achieving the 200K photographs in my archive plus another 20K Kodachrome slides . I expected at some point I would transition to more post processing ,printing, book making and display . Sitting behind the screen will become a much bigger part of my photography .
WHICH SCREEN TO GET
Cost isn't a factor as I expect this purchase to get heavy use for at least five years .
I expect to be using an Apple Studio to drive my processing with a MBP 16 as my mobile choice .
I know many of the GETDPI participants like the 27 in EIZO or find the iMac 5K a compelling value proposition .
EXPECT TO PRINT A LOT MORE
I once had my digital darkroom down to perfection ..making my own profiles and getting great consistency in color printing . There are much better tools available now and I will re invent all this as time permits . I will never print really big expecting that 17x22 will be my maximum print size .
ENJOYING THE PROCESS IS IMPORTANT
I know many really enjoy the Apple 6k display and say how wonderful it is to see their images ..large and with such high resolution . The EIZO has a reputation as being more color accurate and having better B&W tone separation .
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
I realize this is surely a decision that you really can not get wrong ..both being superb products . It is also clearly in the eye of the beholder which is best . Still I am sure some of the group has looked into this and I would enjoy hearing different perspectives .
