Disclaimer: Monoprice lent me this product to try in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I work in the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) field and spend much of my day looking at data using a multitude of color schemes. This monitor allowed me to view raster data in a stretched color scheme with a more intricate level of detail. I could see the details of elevation datasets more clearly and could more quickly discern where I needed to work with the data. The wide range of color gives a noticeable difference when working with aerial imagery as well. Vegetation takes on a whole new level as the slight changes in green/gold/brown within a farm are visible are larger scales.

On top of that, the large 32" screen provided me with a much larger work space than I am used to. I could see much more of my work in a single view and could get more done in less time.

I used this monitor side by side with my current work issued monitors, both Samsung S24E450. That monitor has 16.7 million colors compared to the more than 1 billion of this one. I didn't think I would be able to see the difference but it was obvious once I had them running together. The size difference was also a big deal, considering my two Samsungs rotated to portrait basically make up the same space as this one monitor.

The catch 22 here is that these great levels of color detail that I see on screen unfortunately cannot be captured by the other hardware we have in the office. I know the moment I print a map or share a document with someone, that color detail will not be as vivid for anyone else. So that could be something to keep in mind depending on your work and the capabilities of who/what will be processing it.

Overall this is a great monitor to have when you need a larger color range and it has put into perspective for me how much more I can get done with the right hardware.
