4KTV for image editing

[14thegipper]

Price of 4K is dropping - Amazon has a 39" for $500


I am in market for a monitor for my MBP and wonder if a 4KTV is better than IPS monitor?

No.

Not the best argument I have ever heard, but I agree totally. For Photo editing you can't beat an IPS Wide colour gamut matte screen monitor. Eizo or NEC if you have the budget, Dell if you don't.

Is 4k monitor worse than a $99 monitor?

TV panels ≠ monitor panels…. the quality difference in color plus the crappy post-processing on televisions in general, would make me say definitely 'no' to this notion.

4K TV you mean?…. yes, it's worse.

For anything graphic intensive like photo editing you need - NEED - great color reproduction. Resolution and pixel count are over sold. The best photo editing monitors are from Eizo:

Very Good (You get what you pay for) Monitors

Wow, $2500 for a 27"? Not bad!
