- When it comes to Astrophotography Equipment, there is one item that is completely overlooked with massive consequences: The computer Display. Why it is so important and what criteria it should fulfil you can see in this video.

I couldn't agree more: size, resolution, brightness and colour accuarcy do matter for astrophotos. My working horse is the Apple Studio display, and the astrofotos, cropped to 16:9 format to fill the screen, are presented on a 65'' OLED TV in a dark room.
Thanks for this Sascha. I'm going to have to double check all of my monitors. One thing I have done is calibrate my monitors. Even my laptop.
Most monitors, even Apple's, are configured right out of the box for game displays. As a Photographer, the standard configuration is too Blue. The only solution for true color and contrast is to use a hardware Colorimeter like an XRite or Spyder Pro. They work within the limitations of your monitor to achieve the ideal brightness and contrast for your workspace and set on-screen colors accurately.
Great tip!!! Thanks 🙏🏻
Excellent points. I do encourage you to watch Linus Tech Tips review of the iPad M4. They did an in-depth look at the display, and had really great findings.

Great point of view considering that the one who will be spending the most time looking at your photos is yourself. You also need to consider getting a good calibrated sRGB color display if you want to somewhat have better control over printing and ideally a display that can manage more advanced cilor spaces (eg Adobe RGB) well. I have an ASUS Pro Art unit and I'm happy with it so far although mine is not top of the line.
Finally! Someone attempted to answer this problem with astrophotography.
Great Episode it makes a huge difference! Using MacBook Pro it comes with a great screen but 16” is tough for full time editing. The BenQ with Adobe RGB, anytime you get 98-99% Adobe RGB price goes crazy :-/
Agree on all 5 points, glossy matches cell phone and tablets most people are looking at the images.
I agree, for editing the 16'' is a bit small, but for viewing the display of the MacBook is great. I could not resist and bought the new iPad Pro and the display is amazing. A 32 inch display of that quality would be my dream!!!!
I went with a BenQ PD3220U...VERY expensive (to me) but wow it's stunning to work with. Once fully calibrated with an xrite the images are awesome!
If you care about color accuracy, and you do if you use SPCC, then you should care about color accuracy of your monitor as well. This means you want a color gamut close to AdobeRGB, NOT sRGB, and you want hardware color calibration.
If you ever print a picture, using sRGB is like typing with one hand tied on your back. All decent printers have a much wider gamut than sRGB. This is especially a risk if you want to saturate your colors in for instance NB processing.
If you publish pictures on the web you must convert your pictures to sRGB, otherwise they will look like crap.
Hardware calibration helps you discern nuances, which can be helpful for instance to see subtle color differences, or color casts.
I have a NEC PA322UHD 4K monitor. The brand no longer exists, but they were second best after Eizo. I calibrate my monitor every 2 to 3 months. If I had to buy a new one I would probably go for BenQ
Thanks for all the valuable tips!!!! 🙏🏻
I have a 10 year old apple cinema display which is still absolutely excellent.
I use a Sony 48 inch OLED display as a monitor as it basically checks all the boxes you just described. I even have it color calibrated using a Spyder Pro. Sounds like overkill but I also use it for other stuff like programming, 3D design, and watching UA-cam 🙂 I have that attached to my Lenovo P360 with 16 core i9, 128GB of RAM, and 8TB worth of SSDs. Oh it also has an Nvidia A5000 GPU card. Like I said I also use this rig for other projects but is also perfect for astrophotography 🙂 When I am imaging it looks like mission control 🤣 Forgot to mention that I have bad eyes from the CRT days from working in IT for 25 years so the 48 inch OLED is a welcome addition to my setup.
Sounds cool!!!!
Great video Sacha. I've also heard the right monitor for astrophotography should have the ability to be calibrated. What's your thoughts on this?
My thoughts are, that it depends... 😁 When your processing has a scientific background or you want to publish your photos in a magazine, then yes, it might make sense to use calibrated monitor. In any other case - who cares? Most people will watch your pics on screens that are not calibrated, so then they anyway see something different than you have seen on your screen....
Unfortunately I don't have the space for an external display since I live in a motorhome full-time. I'm retired and decided to sell the house and travel around the US. The dinette is multipurpose. I use it as a desk, dining area, and other miscellaneous activities. I have to be able to break down and set up fast. I'm stuck just using my 14" M3 MacBook Pro laptop. It has a great screen but is small. Right now I have lakefront property and in a Bortle 3/4 area. for the next 10 days.then I'll be in Bortle 2 skies in northeast Utah.
I've read and seen reviews of BenQ external monitors are good bang for you buck and rival more expensive monitors.
Sounds amazing . enjoy Utah - the national parks in the north east belong for me to the most beautiful spots on earth. I lived a year in Twin Falls, Idaho and I went many times down there.....
Great list! Surprised you did t mention color accuracy.
I think it depends. If you do it with a scientific purpose, for sure this is needed. But personally I rather care that it looks beautiful than it is accurate 😉 And btw - if it is for sharing purposes - most people have their monitor not calibrated, so it might even look more inaccurate on their screens as if you would not have calibrated it....
The question is, what do you do with the images? I have a color calibrated monitor on which I edited the images. If I show the pictures to others, everyone has a different monitor. Even on my iPAD or Android I get all different images. So you shouldn't worry too much in such a case. In my opinion, a color-calibrated monitor plays more of a role if I use the images professionally.
Fully agree!
Hi Sasha, I have a monitor specially for photography. I measure the ambiant light constantly and once every 2 weeks I calibrate the monitor.
What monitor do you have?
@@denniscollyer8161 I have a Benq monitor for photograpy don't know the type. For ambient light monitoring and color calibration I have n colormunki from X-rite
I use a Samsung Neo G7 32" 4k, mini LED, HDR. It's advertised as 2,000 nits but realistically I think it's only about 1,000 the vast majority of the time.
But one of the things that I'm always unsure about is how my photos will look to the rest of the world, especially to people who don't have HDR screens.. But I suppose that's what the histogram is for.
But still, I think a lot of people probably have really dim and uncalibrated screens, so maybe your images look great to you, but they might look crap to other people!
Great points! I agree, HDR vs. non-HDR might make a huge impact. The other thing is for sure glossy vs. mate screens. This is another reason why I use a glossy screen, as many people look at the pics with their phones or tables, which all have glossy screens. So if it looks good on my screen, it will look good on theirs.
I own a studio display 27’’ 5k works fine for astrophoto.
Yep, I really love it!!!!!
good video, it's a pity that just after I replaced the monitor, I bought an Asus Proart a few days ago, I'm looking through old photos and now I notice imperfections in almost all of them, especially those containing dark nebulae, I'm just wondering whether I should have the monitor set to 10 or 8 bit?
Is an LG OLED 4K 55 inch TV a sensible option?
For viewing the pics it is ideal. I think for processing them it might be too big....
