It will get you a nice monitor but it’s not going to get you anything accurate for grading or subtle colour work.
Yes you can do the same work on a cheaper monitor but you are paying for knowing it’s accurate within the defined colourspace and being able to see the fine colour adjustments you make, the panels are more uniform plus the best monitors self adjust to keep close to desired settings.
I use an Eizo CG, if on a budget then Asus and BenQ do some well regarded monitors that are not gaming monitors and selling themselves on refresh rate and contrast.
I totally get that, just cant really justify a grand plus on a monitor for personal project stuff.
I'm not fully bothered if it's a gaming monitor so if colour is better on the asus and BenQ id probs go there. Every monitor seems to be a games monitor these days looking.
