Hello guys!
I have been using a Samsung un40JU7100 for photo editing mostly (but with 2 regular IPS 1080p monitors and a Samsung Galaxy S Tab 10.5 as other displays to judge my edits) but I am not totally happy with it. Mainly it looks like just tiny movements of my eyes make the image look pretty different and worst, looks like calibrating it with my ColorMunki usually ends up giving me some odd "banding" artifacts in shadow areas.
So I have been considering the Sony 43" X800D due to its 10bit panel and wide color gamut.
Anyone using it for editing around here?
I am using a GTX 980ti (even though I RARELY play a game lol). I do not use this tv for 3D as I watch movies with a projector but of course, now that I am thinking about selling I kind of which the Sony had 3D in order to maybe use Nvidia 3D vision once in a while.
Anyways...editing is the main thing I want it for and just viewing photos. I know a small and more expensive monitor would be better but I just enjoy editing on the bigger screen more not to mention, watching my landscape photos in a bigger screen is surely more immersive.

Thanks for any comments!
 
I dig the better contrast and black levels but it seems the color gamut coverage is not as good as the Sony, unless I am missing something. :)
 
Got a Sony 43" coming tomorrow. I want to try some photo shop editing on it, as well as play some FPS games.
This Sony will be compared to professionally calibrated 32" monitors for color.
I am also going to compare gaming @ 60 on a tv, with known gaming monitors (60, 75, 100 and 144hz).
This will be fun. I am not expecting the Sony to pull through

Well? What happened?!
 
I got mine at least and personally, I find it much better than my JU7100. 4:4:4 only works on graphics and game mode. I am mostly using it for Photo Editing and the colors are much better than on my Samsung so that is working out good for me. Just wish it had deeper blacks like a Vizio P50 for example but overall, I am happy with it.
