I have been using a cheap ASUS LED monitor for a few years. It still seems to work fine and it mounts nicely on the adjustable arm that I love.
For the last three years, I've been using a color calibration device - currently an X-Rite color checker that seems to work well.
I know there are better and much more expensive monitors out there. Compared to what I spend on bodies and lenses, a new monitor would not be an unreasonable expense.
For someone who uses a 5D3 and L lenses, are there any real gains to be had by buying a better monitor? I don't do commercial fashion or advertising work - mostly portraits and boudoir. Most of my photos end up being viewed on screens of dubious color and brightness adjustment, so I'm not sure if this is worth worrying about.
Anyone recently upgrade to a high-end monitor and find that it took their photography to the next level?
