I think my phone must’ve autocorrected sRGB to RGB :) I did a bit of checking with the photo printing services I’ve used in the past, namely Photobox and Bob Books and both specify the sRGB target colour space, so I’m thinking that a wider-gamut screen would be wasted money, especially as an AdobeRGB screen generally costs double the price of an sRGB-only screen. Thanks for the advice about the comfortable viewing distance, I’ll get a tape measure to work out the actual distance from my eyes to the screen

Thanks everyone for your feedback, I’m thinking I’ll go 32” - the idea of a 27” would be appealing if all it’d be used for is to view and edit photos (with the editing/processing apps controls located in my existing 24” screen) and it’d be a cheaper proposition, but the 32” screen will provide greater flexibility. The other thing I need to decide is whether I go for a display covering just the SRGB colourspace or the AbodeRGB colourspace. I do very little printing of photos and when I do it’s to an RGB printer so having AdobeRGB seems pointless, unless I’m missing something?

I currently have a 10 year old Dell 2407 1900x1200 24" screen (it's a PVA panel I think) which is showing it's age so I'm planning to get another monitor for photo processing (I mainly use DXO Photolab and sometimes Adobe ACR CS6) and am thinking of going for a 4k screen but can't decide whether to get a 27" or 32" I understand that the 32" screen would be usable with Windows 10 without scaling whereas the 27" would need scaling to be enabled in order to be able to read text but I'm not sure how big a deal having to use scaling is, but if a 4K screen needs at least 200% scaling to be readable, then is 4K worth it? Is 4K worth it for a 27" screen? I regularly work from home as a software developer so bigger screen estate is always welcome for having application windows open side-by-side so that I can read them easily. I'll be keeping the 24" monitor as a second screen for stuff that doesn't require high colour accuracy and both screens with be used with my MS Surface Pro and Surface Dock which I've recently acquired. So 32" or 27" 4K screen? And any reasonably priced recommendations? TIA

<p>When I perform all the steps to calibrate my monitor and generate an ICC profile using the supplied Eye-One Match 3 software, I get the following error when the software tries to create the ICC profile for my monitor:<br> "error while building icc profile please retry with new measurement data"<br> I've tried both Easy and Advanced modes of the calibration software and see the same error.<br> Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix the issue?<br> Thanks in advance...</p>
