Monitors are a very important part of the photo processing workflow and you definitely get what you pay for. If you do any sort of printing at home or in the office, your monitor plays a big part in getting a successful outcome.</p>
<p>Joshua Holko has completed his review of the brand new and soon-to-be-released, EIZO CG318-4K, a 31.1″ 4K monitor.</p>
<blockquote><p>At an MSRP of $6000 USD the Eizo CG318-4K is clearly not for everyone. However, if you are a creative professional or a keen photographer (with the means) who wants and/or needs to work in a 4K wide gamut colour managed environment or requires the highest levels of colour accuracy and uniformity then you will be very well served by the Eizo CG-318-4K. With a 5 Year warranty that includes a zero bright pixels guarantee for a period of six months as well as a 10,000 hour guarantee for colour and brightness, the Eizo represents the current state of the art in graphic displays for creative professionals. The resolution, colour reproduction, accuracy and uniformity are simply superb. Highly recommended if you have the means. <a href="http://blog.jholko.com/2015/10/19/eizo-cg318-4k-review-the-cutting-edge-of-high-end-graphic-displays/" target="_blank">Read the full review</a>…</p></blockquote>
<p>If you want arguably the best 4K display for photography, you won’t have to look much further than this new monitor. For now, I’ll stick with my 5K iMac, but I really wish I needed one of these. The new EIZO CG318-4K should begin shipping at the end of October.</p>

I recently got a NEC 322 UHD, referenced quite a bit in the Eizo review. It is about 1/2 of the Eizo. I have also noticed the brightness fall-off mentioned in the Eizo review; not too disturbing, but you see it. Another 7% in screen real-estate is always nice. I saw the built-in calibration in the other Eizos, but not sure it is worth another $3K, particularly as I already own a decent spider. Not going to dump my NEC, but good to see that new hi-end displays are coming out.
