Modern MD271UL, my new colourful friend

So I've been diving deep into colour accuracy lately, like, *really* deep. I'm always looking for ways to make my workflow even better. I've been using the MSI Modern MD271UL for a bit now and wowzers, the colours just *pop*. Going from my ViewSonic VX2728J (which, don't get me wrong, is great for fast paced gaming) to this for photo editing is night and day. The 4K resolution makes everything so crisp, it's almost distracting in a good way. I do wish it had a higher refresh rate, maybe something closer to the Samsung [Odyssey Neo G95NC](/monitors/samsung/odyssey-neo-g95nc) range. But for work I'm not really complaining. Those 600 nits of brightness definitely make a difference when i'm editing in my sunny workspace. The colours are very accurate so the HDR10 and DisplayHDR 600 actually do something. I'm quite happy with it.
