Monitor for an artist?

[Bioxed123]

Looking for a monitor that isn't above let's say 450$
I need it for graphics design, drawing/painting in photoshop etc.
I really like the idea of ultrawide monitors and curved monitors so something like that would be amazing.

LG 34UC97,S34E790C but not 1000$

Thank you!

How well are you able to control your room temperature? That's going to be the determining factor if one is going to work in your room.

During the summer it can get pretty hot but I would say it never get's over 30 degrees Celsius.
Why does this matter?

My apologies. What I ment with room temperature was the color temperature of your room, and whether or not that's changing. This is measured in Kelvin, captial K.

The reason this is important, is because if you buy a monitor, and you don't calibrate it yourself, chances are high what you see isn't accurate colors. If you calibrate your monitor in x Kelvin degrees, and that temperature is shifting up or down, what you see isn't accurate colors either.

Either way, don't be afraid of this. What you see isn't a necessary point to make, because there are tools inside editing programs, which lets you correct any problems with color. You have access to histogram, waveform, and so on. Color accurate monitors are purely there to save time for professionals.

I think a curved screen would not be good for a artist application, due to the weird effects caused at the edges.

The color temperature does change because it's a small room with a fairly large window..
I'm not worried about it though. Any monitor recommendations?

The Dell UltraSharp series are fantastic. The best production monitor in my opinion though is always going to be this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014372
It's seriously good. It's rather large though.
