I am considering  purchasing an Apple Studio M2 computer as an upgrade from my aging iMac 27. I also plan to buy a display for my LrC & PS editing since my trusty NEC P221W could use a size increase. I'm looking for a display within the 27"-32" range with a price ceiling of about $1,500.  My primary consideration is accurate color management. With the bewildering array of available displays, I would love to get some recommendations from both LR & PS users. I know that this is somewhat of a subjective request since everyone has their own criteria.  Even narrowing my selection down to solid, reliable brands would be helpful. As a side note, I do NOT do my own printing; but rather send my images to a lab for printing. Some photographers have said that might be a factor in display selection. Thank you so much for any input. Truly appreciated.

I'd recommend an Eizo Coloredge display. They are made for graphic arts / imaging use. If you can stretch to a CG model then I'd do thjat.

Eizo CS 2731. It sells at B+H for around $ 1400, calibration sensor included.

 

It sounds like you have no interest in HDR, and for photography there's no advantage in 4K. You really need to get a feel for the pixel structure at 100%, and you don't get that with 4K.

 

You might find "budget" brands offering similar specs at lower prices, but then they're cutting corners on the things that are not in the specs, things like corner to corner color and brightness uniformity, highlight and shadow separation etc.

 

Not to mention the ColorNavigator software, which communicates directly with the monitor's onboard processor..
