How does this monitor work for photo editing? I am not a pro but a serious amateur and do a lot of photo editing and cannot afford the pro models.

It's excellent. I am professional photographer and it come color corrected for RGB and is true to color. I purchased it for just that reason. The photo mags rate it up there with monitors costing three times as much.

It's very good. Image and color is spot on w the latter adjustable. I noticed some very nice deals recently for lesser but comparable monitors but I don't know if they utilize an ILS panel..just sayin.BTW, I edit mostly in LR5 and I'm not a pro.

The key feature of this monitor is color accuracy and clarity. Although I have done little editing of photos other than red-eye removal. When I have my photos printed professionally the hard photo are identical with the display. The other plus is 4 USB 3.0 ports!

I don't do much photo editing, but I'd have to say this monitor would be an excellent choice for it. The color accuracy is spot on and came perfectly configured out of the box.

As the others have said, it's excellent for photo editing -- that's the only reason you'd spend the money, to get color accuracy. To make it really rock, you need a hardware calibrator such as a Spyder Pro, and then match a printer profile in Photoshop to the printer you print to. At that point, you are a pro!

Hi Joel, i re-read what other people say about this cam..pls read Vance Marshall's comments too, it sums up what poorly it does. the touch screen is not as responsive. it doesn't function in indoor low lighting..its program robot kept focusing in low light, in fact won't do the job afterall. i didnt return this cuz the hassle of returning + it's only a hundred bux..i tried it in well lit indoor, the resulting photo was grainy. i know what im talking about cuz i also own a D-90..this is only CUTE AND TINY..is all..not for a real photographer..i bought another coolpix before = S3000 cuz of Ashton Kutcher commercial..that sucked too! i gave it away..the only reason i kept buying Nikon is bc the big dslr's are good..aside from D90 i have a d5100.. this sounds ridiculous telling i have cameras..i am just comparing the cool pix to dslrs..hope this helps!

Works for me [though W8 is a little strange from XP], I do a lot of foto editing almost daily. There are many tools that I haven't used [or used much] so glitches may still occur. I would say, if you have your computing power up, go with it.

I guess it all depends on how good of a resolution you are looking for. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it if you are to do a lot of photo or video editing, but it is in general a good and cheap touch screen monitor.

You're welcome! I love this monitor. I've bought two already and might be purchasing another one. :)

The monitor has settings for different aspects. I have mine set to 1:1 so my photos will display properly. At that setting I lose some vertical size but it is a minor problem. In all other respects, I love this monitor.

I just saw your post and have had problems matching color with my printer. I checked with some professional labs and seems like the only solution is to get color calibration software for your monitor. I bought Spyder2. It did well in reviews and was relatively easy to use. There are more professional and expensive packages also. The improvement has been dramatic. You simply cannot accurately calibrate your monitor by eye or by Adobe Gamma. Also make sure you're using Adobe RGB (1998) as your color profile in Photoshop.

I agreed with you that I will use mouse to do any photo works. I'm looking for a laptop that can run Photoshop CS3 efficiently. I am debating whether I need a good desktop instead of laptop. If this laptop can do the work with my IPS monitor, then I don't need to buy a separate desktop any more. I like the laptop because it is light and easy to carry. I wish this is 11 inches instead of 12.1 inches. Any comment?

If by editing you mean cropping then fine, but the screen colors are not very accurate if you are going to be making color adjustments. You can get more accurate colors on an external monitor though.

As a professional photographer who was looking to add another crisp, clear & accurate monitor. I asked professional friends and my mentor and everyone agreed that this was the best value/performance. They were right I still love it.

I have a system built for Photoshop CS6. ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AM3+;AMD FX-8150; 24gigs of DDR3 Ram; PSU 750 and ASUS 2GB GDDR5 card. It performed as I expected. But what made it even more impressive was when I bought a second card and joined the two in crossfire mode. I was impressed how "smooth" it performed running Photoshop. It should be more than adequate for graphic editing with single card.

I don't have the answer to your question. I also like to take photos, not a Pro, but I found the colors of this monitor are very accurate. My printed photos back from the lab are exactly as showing on the monitor.

It depends on your camera, I have never tested it as my camera does not have the proper outputs. I have used this monitor with bullet or lipstick cams with great success.

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...

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 have had this monitor since the beginning of August. I have it connected to a Mac-book Pro. Thunderbolt to Display-port. I would rate this a 5 star monitor. I use it for editing video (I am an amateur). I have no issue with the aspect ratio. I usually have my laptop screen closed.

I wondered about the same initially. Need took priority and gave it a try. I have not regretted my decision. I have no resolution concerns or issues. I run my monitors at 1920x1080 resolution without no "visual" issues whatsoever. I guess a lot depends on how good your computer's display output/card is. My laptops are pretty top-of-the-line so no complains here about image quality.
