I'm running a Mac Mini quad core i7 16 GB Ram with FCPX, Photoshop CC, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. My current monitor is a Dell S2740L Display.
This is a reasonably well reviewed monitor that I bought about 2 years ago from PBTech. Unfortunately its always had a very distinctive pink cast to it.
I have tried calibrating it many times through the Dell display driver controls on both my previous Windows 7 desktop, and now my Apple OSX El Capitan mac mini. Even by reducing red and increasing the blue I cannot get it looking neutral enough. I have also tried calibrating through the OSX display driver controls. It gets close(ish) but when you walk into the room and see it compared to any other monitor it just still looks pink.
The other thing that drives me nuts about the Dell is the non-responsive touch controls on the side of the monitor. Often the monitor drops into a power save mode and/ or a "lock" mode when its its in use. Grr, its a big hassle to use the menu when the display buttons are so unresposive.
I know the 5K Apple Cinema Displays are very highly rated, but thats too much money for me right now. Has anyone used a non-Apple display around 27" for photographic work which they like and can recommend?
My use is not everyday, more like one day a week but used in a mostly professional capacity.
