Going with the HP 31" Dreamcolor is a good idea, especially when you already have the older 24" dreamcolor.

So is mine, but my 30ā€ Apple Cinema Display finally crapped out yesterday, so I weighed the value of the 27ā€ BenQĀ PV270 against the slightly more future-open HP 31ā€ Dreamcolor zx - $900 vs. $1330, and fewer pixels than the ACD vs. more, respectively.Ā  I ordered the HP.Ā  I should be getting it Thursday.Ā  Wish me luck.

I have a 24ā€ DreamColor already, and it’s been pretty solid.

I read some reviews on the PV270, and that looks mighty impressive for the price.Ā  The same size DreamColor is ~$300 more.

4K support is an excellent point. Fortunately my current gig is still a 1080p workflow.

Solid advice from Steve. I’m actually looking to upgrade my 2012-vintage HD Extreme 3D card for something 4k capable. It will be a BMD product.Ā 

The trend to 4k has definitely reached my mid-level marketing video-driven post business.
Current project load is something like this:

Source footage: 50% 1080p, 50% 3.2k or 4k (or higher)

Finished deliverables: 80% 1080p, 20% 4k

pretty much BMD is the main survivor of video I/O cards or interfaces. I have one of their HD ultra studios with TB and it works great… but its also a discontinued product. BMD thinned out their hardware line considerably at or around NAB 2017. used options are of course out there, but I’d probably go with Ā something that does 4K at this point.
