This makes me appreciate that I can daisy-chain up to five of my Thunderbolt 3 G-Technology drives even more!
Mac Mini M4 Pro or wait for the Mac Studio

I would never want to edit photos on an iPad or even a laptop. I like big.
I'm with you. The minimum monitor size I want to utilize for final post-processing is 27-inches. I'm trying now to decide whether I purchase a 27- or 32-inch monitor when I get my next system.

I have a 32 and absolutely love it! Mine was about a grand from B+H. I had an old 30 inch Apple display and my wife has a 27inch iMac. This would be adequate but I really like the bigger monitor. I don’t think anything bigger is necessary.
Which brand and model? I'm looking at the BenQ SW series, but am questioning whether or not they are worth the extra money over the PD or MA series.
It was posted for those that might want to take it on the road for backup, culling etc. I agree I like big for editing.
Can't answer the comparison question but I am very happy with the 321C. Here is what AI told me.
- SW Series:
Considered the top-tier for color accuracy, offering excellent Adobe RGB coverage, ideal for professional photographers who need to match monitor colors to printed outputs.
- PD Series:
Designed for graphic designers and creative professionals, providing good coverage of DCI-P3 color space, suitable for both Mac and PC workflows.
- Zowie XL Series:
Primarily focused on competitive gaming, featuring fast response times, high refresh rates, and features specifically designed to enhance gameplay

It's a great suggestion for not traveling with both an iPad and a laptop, but duplicating that functionality when needed.

I believe it is a BenQ. Not the one with the hood that sells for way more. It’s a good monitor with good sharpness and clarity. It’s technically a 31.5 inch I believe. It was around 1k. Supposed HDR but in reality this is a bit of hype but I am not doing HDR at this time.

Do you use it to set up printing of your photos?
(Sorry,... I know I have a lot of questions for you.)

I don’t print at home. Too expensive and I don’t do this for a living. I do find that I have to watch the overall brightness when exporting to other devices like my iPad or to others. I check them out first before I send them on. I found it helped to lower the overall brightness a bit. Otherwise some photos turned out a bit dark. I never had this issue with my old Apple cinema monitor. Other it works well. I’m sure the Apple Pro Display would be better but it costs 5 times as much. It’s a good unit imop.
