I know you have to limit these lists to monitors you’ve tested, and you can only test so many, and you’re mostly gamer focused, but if you want a list that is “best” monitors for photo editing you really need to test, review and include some of the high end Asus ProArt models and some of the BenQ PhotoVue monitors. Those really are considered some of the best in the industry for most people (unless you want to bump up into the EIZO ColorEdge, which are prohibitively expensive).

Hey! You’re definitely right it would be nice to have some monitors specifically designed with photo editing in mind. You can vote for them in our Review Pipeline, and if they’re popular enough, we’ll buy and test them!

Why is Acer Nitro XV275K P3biipruzx better than ASUS ProArt Display PA279CRV if review says “Oversaturates colors in the Adobe RGB color space.” for the CONS in Editing and Color Accuracy rating if we are trying to find the most accurate colors using Photoshop or Illustrator for professional design work?

Hey, you’re right that is a concern about the Acer, especially for photo editing. There are other factors we take into consideration as well, like the fact that the Acer has higher contrast, which is useful for editing in dark rooms, but we’ll reconsider this next time we update the recommendation.

Good morning, I would like to find tests on the monitors on this page:

• Dell 2k UltraSharp 27 with Thunderbolt™ hub - U2724DE (IPS Black - QHD (2560 x 1440) à 120 Hz - KVM - USB C 90W)
• Dell 4K UltraSharp 27 with USB-C hub – U2723QE (IPS Black - 4K 3840 x 2160 à 60 Hz - KVM - USB C 90W)
• Asus ProArt

I think these are more relevant monitors for “photo editing”.

THANKS

The fact that the “best” monitor on this list only has 88% AdobeRGB coverage (per your review), while the runner-up has 99%, kind of makes me think you have no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to what a good monitor for editing photos is. A professional photographer, who’s buying a monitor for the purpose of editing photos, is going to need something with 95% or higher AdobeRGB coverage if they’re even remotely serious about it. You can get away with something that is only 100% sRGB when you first start out, or if it’s just a hobby and editing photos on it isn’t it’s main purpose, but if it is a monitor specifically for PHOTO EDITING, as this article is titled, then a monitor with only 88% AdobeRGB coverage shouldn’t even be on the list, let alone in the top spot.

Hey! You do have great points, and it definitely was an oversight while updating this recommendation. The Acer has advantages though, like its high peak brightness and local dimming, so its overall picture quality is better, but you’re right that Adobe RGB coverage is pretty important. There are different factors we consider for each recommendation, so we’ll keep this in mind when we update it next.
