IMO if its under 30" I wouldn't waste your money.

I have the LG 31 inch 4k DCI 10bit display. I really love it and I'm looking at getting a second one for my workstation. It's great for editing and color grading since you can calibrate it for difference color spaces.

Not sure what your price range is but I haven't seen any 4k displays that look promising under $1000. And I would really consider a display with 10bit color depth its more useful than the extra resolution you get with 4k

Around $1000 with a bit of room to go over. Was also looking at maybe a dual QHD monitor setup. Would it be worth it to get two QHD's as I am not sure how often I'd be using 4k?

I would go dual QHD personally, I got a great deal on a QHD monitor for cyber monday and pair that new 27" with my 29" 21:9 monitor.

I use Asus PB287Q's, They're 10 bit color.



The main reason I use them is because my price was $350.00


The viewing angles could be better, but for the price paid, I cannot complain one bit.
