1 Size and Resolution

The size and resolution of your monitor affect how much detail you can see and how comfortable you are working on your images. A larger monitor will give you more screen space to work with, but it will also take up more room on your desk and cost more. A higher resolution will make your images sharper and clearer, but it will also require more processing power and storage space. Ideally, you should look for a monitor that is at least 24 inches and has a resolution of at least 1920 x 1080 pixels.

I work with a 27-inch monitor and a laptop with a 16"monitor at home. Larger is better, get what you can afford, there are always great sales. Start by Googling; what is the best monitor? Advances in computers and new monitors come out frequently. Buying last year's monitor will save money and be great. You don't need the newest and most expensive as the difference is usually minuscule.

2 Color Accuracy and Gamut

The color accuracy and gamut of your monitor determine how well it can reproduce the colors of your images. Color accuracy refers to how close the monitor's colors match the original colors of your images. Color gamut refers to how many colors the monitor can display. A monitor with poor color accuracy or a narrow color gamut will make your images look dull, washed out, or distorted. You should look for a monitor that has a high color accuracy rating (such as Delta E < 2) and a wide color gamut (such as 99% sRGB or Adobe RGB).

3 Brightness and Contrast

The brightness and contrast of your monitor affect how visible your images are in different lighting conditions. Brightness refers to how much light the monitor emits. Contrast refers to how well the monitor can differentiate between dark and light areas. A monitor with low brightness or contrast will make your images look dark, flat, or hard to see. You should look for a monitor that has a high brightness level (at least 250 nits) and a high contrast ratio (at least 1000:1).

4 Viewing Angle and Panel Type

The viewing angle and panel type of your monitor affect how consistent your images look from different angles. Viewing angle refers to how far you can move your head from the center of the monitor without noticing a change in color, brightness, or contrast. Panel type refers to the technology used to create the monitor's display. A monitor with a narrow viewing angle or a low-quality panel type will make your images look distorted, faded, or uneven when you move your head. You should look for a monitor that has a wide viewing angle (at least 178 degrees) and a high-quality panel type (such as IPS or VA).

5 Calibration and Profiling

The calibration and profiling of your monitor affect how well it matches the output of your printer or other devices. Calibration refers to the process of adjusting the monitor's settings to achieve a standard level of color, brightness, and contrast. Profiling refers to the process of creating a file that describes the monitor's characteristics and behavior. A monitor that is not calibrated or profiled will make your images look different on different devices or media. You should look for a monitor that has a built-in or external calibration tool and a compatible profiling software.

Choosing the right monitor for commercial photography can be challenging, but it can also make a big difference in your work quality and satisfaction. By considering these factors, you can find a monitor that suits your needs and budget.

Color calibration is essential. Calibrating your monitor is equivalent to white balancing your camera. When you purchase a monitor, please ensure it has a few adjustment controls, which will help you tune it to where it should be. We have used Spyder to calibrate color and have been using a Spyder since he company started.

Once you ascertain your needs and requirements, know that the monitor is something you will be using all the time for a long time. It'll likely outlive your camera body or your laptop. Just like lenses and studio strobes, a solid monitor is one of those things that you can "Buy once, cry once" items.
