Is this monitor appropriate for color correcting video? Is this a good monitor for video editing?

The best. Depending upon the software you use and the computer you use, this is the top of the line. Check the price, it's expensive, not just because it's Apple, but check the specifications. I do a lot of photography work and this monitor far exceeds my expectations. You will not be disappointed.

Yes and yes. Although it's not as accurate as a calibrated broadcast monitor, there's enough resolution to get the job done. Good luck to you!

Yes it is. This display is great for video and photo editing. I use photoshop on my Mac with this display and also need photos to be exact in color. It is crystal clear and colors match way better than any other display I have tried with photo editing.

I purchased this monitor to edit my photographs so I depended on color accuracy. However in order to get the accuracy you need even with this monitor you will need to buy a colorMunki or some other calibrating deviceto ensure your colours are accurate. there are several books sold on Amazon to instruct on color management.

No monitor comes color calibrated. I calibrated mine using Displays &gt; calibrate.

This is a TN panel, so this is absolutely NOT going to be a good monitor for accurate color reproduction. It will be awesome for writing code though...

for heavy video editing? I would have to say that you're going to need a computer with a better graphics card. This computer is all well and good for mild gaming and regular video editing however if you're going to use this computer strictly for video editing you might want one with a better graphics card

No, actually it looks good. That is the resolution I'm using and I like it a lot. I would buy this monitor again.

Asking about contrast ratio is asking the wrong question. The contrast ratio of this monitor will not tell you how good or bad it looks. This is a beautiful LED monitor. I use this monitor for fast paced gaming with my PS4 and on my custom built PC, as well as every day typing and browsing tasks. It is gorgeous. Not the best that is out there (samsung makes a 3k version of this), but still amazing. It will makes your games incredibly detailed and your normal browsing generally enjoyable, especially since it is stinkin huge!

I wouldn't recommend it, no. The resolution isn't very high, and brighter is the refresh rate, at least not in turns of gaming. Finally, I'm pretty sure the processing power for its video feed forms from the CPU, even with a dedicated GPU.

If you plan on doing basic stuff with your computer you should be fine with the integrated video it has, BUT... if you plan on using Photoshop, editing or gaming, you should buy a video card. ( I'm a harcore gamer and i got this motherboard + EVGA GTX 670... It's a beast <3)

Personally, I think it's gorgeous. Crystal clear for sure. No JPEG-type compression shading issues, very accurate color. I do professional photography and the color response of this monitor is good enough to use for my printing. Very accurate, great color range. Better than my MacBook Pro built-in display.

No monitor comes color calibrated. I calibrated mine using Displays > calibrate.

Pretty much any IPS monitor is likely going to have something like that. But you know, I haven't noticed much of it. I guess it depends on how picky you are. I'm a PC gamer, and while I can't say there is absolutely no ghosting, I've not noticed any that's bothered me while I've played games. I'm pretty picky about my displays so if it were an issue I would notice it. Now, if you're looking at doing high end FPS competition you might want to look elsewhere, same would be true about strong video editing. Outside of that, I don't think it will be a problem.

It actually has an AHVA screen which is similar to IPS (very wide angles, no color shift at extreme angles). I use IPS screens exclusively on my desktops, but I don't feel this is any worse for normal usage (I don't use it for graphics work so I don't know how accurate the color is).

Not so great for photo editing. Only a few LED-backlit monitors have even color across the whole screen. Also, this monitor is quite bright, and is operating outside of its comfort range when turned down to 80 candelas/square meter, the standard photo editing brightness.Good for the other things though. I think the requirements for movie-watching and photo editing are quite dissimilar, especially in the brightness department. Jim

I am primarily using it with a professional hi-res monitor and photo work. While it certainly performs at this level, I believe you would want to go with a higher end model for 3D rendering. It will do the work, just too slowly for it to be practical in many cases.

As you may have noticed, in most older panels/laptops (which probably don't have IPS), there is massive color distortion at relatively small viewing angles. This monitor is exactly the same as the U2713HM, except that it also has IPS (in-plane switching), which produces, among other effects, much better color fidelity at off-center viewing angles. In other words, I can look at my monitor from .5 degrees away from parallel to the screen, and still have no noticeable color distortion.
