Just got a refurbished 2013 mac pro; will be running Logic on it. 12 cores, 32 GB of RAM. Now.just need a MONITOR! Anyone have any advice/recommendation for a great monitor? There are some 4k ones out now.but would that cut processing power?

Developed in conjuction with DreamWorks Animation specifically for the needs of the Visual Effects professional. It's very nice indeed.

The sad thing is that Apple's lackluster videocard drivers are not updated to handle a 10-bits per channel throughput even though the hardware is fully capable of delivering it to the display. So using it under OSX is less ideal (visible banding can occur in smooth gradients) than when running it under Windows, unfortunately. Rumour has it that HP will come out with an updated Dreamcolor early in 2012. Click to expand. I will mostly be using it for Photoshop (semi-pro) and watching a LOT of movies, and really enjoy HD and/or Blu Ray, which I understand that iMac's dont play Blu Ray, so I want the best HD monitor that's less than say $2,000 used. If there's nothing that much better than the 27' iMac type monitor, then I will just stick with that, but I didnt know if there was something by Apple or commonly used with Mac's that a lot of people used.

Right now I use a 30' LED HD Insignia monitor, but if I'm not mistaken the 27' iMac type monitor seems to have an even crisper picture. Thanks for all the input, I appreciate it especially after googling and searching the forums. So there's not really anything with a nicer picture (or as nice) for a tiny bit more out there, is there.? Thanks again!

Often you have to purchase a workstation card if you want it. It can be a little expensive, but it doesn't have to be terrible.

Someone linked a luminous landscape post that suggested Apple had seen 10 bit displayport support on a couple cards, but AFAIK it's not available under Lion or via thunderbolt. It's kind of disappointing when displayport 1.2 has been out this long. In the end I don't think it's a priority for Apple even if it would be nice. I'm still debating a move to Windows, but it would not be until new cpus are available. Click to expand.No question they CAN make decent stuff. I was and am referring only to the brand new PLS tech (they only have 2 panels with this tech).

The very first examples had quality issues at a few review sites. Once 3 or more comment on it I stay clear. Seems to be a big enough sampling at that point.

The Eizo you mentioned was probably PVA not PLS. PLS is the new IPS rival. 178º, >5ms, 1000:1+ Static Contrast, and the very best part, semi-glossy. Not dirty matte and not too reflective glass. Closer to something like the NEC 20WMGX I cherish.

The NEC is getting long in the tooth. The backlight will blow up any day now You'd blow up too if rated at over 450cd/m2, damn. I set it 34 out of 100. It can give you a suntan.

Mac computers with built-in HDMI ports Any Mac with a built-in HDMI port can support 4K displays and Ultra HD TVs via HDMI at 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz, or 4096 x 2160 at 24Hz. Note that mirroring isn't supported at 4096 x 2160 at 24Hz.
