Turned question into a question. And I can't help thinking wistfully of XGrid.

| Jun 23, 2015 at 21:26 | comment | added | null | Sorry if I'm dense, but why don't you simply connect the good mac monitor to the fast PC and work on the PC? | |
| Jun 23, 2015 at 21:23 | comment | added | ntgCleaner | @null, and here are my PC monitors: (Asus VE278Q) newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236103 It can only output 16.7m colors. whereas the PA27Q can output 1073.7M colors: newegg.com/Product/…-24-236-343--Product . Eventually I'll get that monitor for my PC... | |
| Jun 23, 2015 at 20:58 | comment | added | ntgCleaner | @null, my PC is an i7 920 OCed to 3.66ghz, 12gb RAM with an AMD Radeon 7870 (2G RAM). My mac is a 2.2Ghz i7 w/ 16gb RAM with an Intel Iris Pro (1G RAM). I just did a test: 45 pictures exporting 3 different export options at the same time. The PC did all 135 images in 11 minutes. The Mac did the same 135 images in 15 minutes and 15 seconds. Not a huge difference, but if I'm exporting wedding photos, I'll have a lot more than 35! it's 26% faster on my PC. | |

| Jun 23, 2015 at 19:51 | comment | added | ntgCleaner | Ah yes, sorry. The mac thunderbolt monitor is correct coloring, while the PC Asus monitor is calibrated incorrectly. Every attempt at calibrating it fails for me as the contrast is just not good enough. Also, it's connected via HDMI rather than mDP or TB, so I'm not getting billions of colors | |
| Jun 23, 2015 at 19:49 | comment | added | null | In this case this makes sense. From your question I couldn't tell if the monitor is just more colorful but as wrong as the other monitor or if it's actually the better monitor. | |

| Jun 23, 2015 at 19:36 | comment | added | ntgCleaner | My Mac monitor is out of the box calibrated. I've done a comparison with the printing company I go through and it's very close to 'true' color. | |

| Jun 23, 2015 at 19:15 | comment | added | null | Is your mac monitor calibrated? | |
| Jun 23, 2015 at 19:09 | comment | added | null | So you have a gaming PC and a slow mac that takes a bit of time to render photos...I don't understand what the problem is... | |
