MS8 vs MS9

Post by epicnerdrage »

Hi, I am buying an Astro City from JCL, and it comes with the MS8 + Toshiba... is it worth changing that to an MS9? I am not sure if the MS9 is considered to be better or not?

Not worth going to the effort and expense unless there's something wrong with it. They're both great monitors.

Having just spent 2 hours tweaking the colour balance on an MS8, the MS9 is so much better 😆 only reason you should be changing the monitor, is if one is considerably better than the other (colour, convergence, burn) but that’s got nothing to do with them being MS8 or MS9.
