I have two PC’s, one is an aging Pentium dual-core E5200 CPU with a GeForce 6200. The main workstation is my Photoshop beast (I am a photographer) a HP i7 with lots of RAM, but with a Radeon GPU that I know does not support 3D. I share a Dell 2707WFP between both, using the DVI for the HP and VGA i/p for the less-technical Pentium PC.
I want to edit 3D stills and movies from my Fuji W2 and have been browsing for a suitable monitor and GPU’s but am just more and more confused and agitated. I know that a TN screen will not do, they may be cheap but the viewing angles are way too shallow. I prefer a IPS display, but which one? I am happy with either 24" or 27".
My current 27" has been great and does not (seem to) show the issue with dot pitch that as has been mentioned in other posts. In fact I didn’t realize that it was an issue. I work on images at up to 300% magnification yet it has always been the image pixels that show rather than any screen dots.
So, what monitor should I go for and what GPU card. I am assuming I would have to replace the current Radeon on the i7 PC rather than try to upgrade the Pentium PC CPU.
Or should I simply pass these beasts on and start afresh? That would still leave the problem of which monitor and whether to go active or passive.
