Hello,
This is kind of a FAQ-style post 😄
I’m currently in the process of completely rebuilding my monitor setup, with a fairly flexible budget, and I’d love to get some feedback on a few key points !
🎯 1. OLED vs IPS (burn-in & color accuracy)
I’m quite interested in OLED, but I have two concerns
- Burn-in over time
- Color accuracy: is it relevant to work on an OLED display when most people are using standard displays (IPS, etc.)?
🎨 2. sRGB vs DCI-P3
I’ve never been sure which one to prioritize.
I do 99% of my work for the web (thumbnails, posters, design, etc.)
Very little printing (and only for personal use)
- Should I stick to sRGB?
- Or take advantage of DCI-P3?
🖥️ 3. 4K 27" vs 32" & Windows scaling
I recently got a 4K 27" monitor, but with 150% scaling, some apps and games look a bit blurry.
So I’m wondering:
- Would a 32" be more comfortable?
- Are interfaces still readable without heavy scaling?
For reference, this is my current monitor:

🌈 4. HDR & Photoshop
Does working with HDR enabled actually make sense in Photoshop?
I’ve never really understood when it’s useful.
🧠 Final goal
Ideally, I want:
Two 4K monitors
A setup that is very comfortable to work with
And most importantly, a real improvement in my work quality
Ultrawide
I tried ultrawide monitors briefly, but since I use a 16:9 graphics tablet, it didn’t feel suitable.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help 🙏
