Hi folks

I currently use 2 x 32" 1080P for my music workstation

Would like to upgrade one for UHD, preferably 32" but larger if necessary. Must support 60Hz and 4:4:4.

I'm seeing some monitors now at UHD with displayport but it's hard to fathom which will natively support 4:4:4 @ 60Hz from the nMP out of the box?

Can anybody provide recommendations please?

I like colour accuracy and am prepared to put in some work for that. UK poster but interested in comments from international users too

TIA
 
I use a Samsung 40" 4k TV as my main display in my recording studio. It does 60Hz and 4:4:4. Using Gaming Mode to avoid laggy response. $300 at Costco; it looks great when auditioning sound for film projects, and the amount of information on screen when working with the DAW is very cool.

My aging eyes wouldn't want a 4k display smaller than 40".

When I purchased the display, Sierra was the current macOS and support for 4k over HDMI was weak. I got to 60Hz by using an active Display Port to HDMI converter and SwitchResX software. Now, with Mojave, I have the display connected to my RX460 directly via HDMI and am running 60Hz with no hoop jumping required.

I noticed a huge improvement in scrolling response within my DAW (Digital Performer 9.52) after the upgrade to Mojave. Under Sierra with the active converter, scrolling was laggy. Scrolling in all other software (Finder, Word, Mail, etc.) was never an issue. With Mojave, scrolling response in DP is excellent, perhaps attributable to more mature drivers for the AMD RX series cards.

I am also driving a second smaller 1200 display via DVI simultaneously without issue.

Don't consider Samsung products. The product quality is poor, and customer service is bad.

Thanks.
