What does DCI-P3 Color space mean for a darktable user when choosing a monitor?

I will be replacing my aged (10+ years) monitor with a 1680x1050 resolution.

The two candidates are summarized below:

A) 24", 1920x1200 pixels, ~10bit, Adobe RGB coverage 99% (DCI-P3 coverage 95%)

B) 24", 2560x1440 pixels, 8bit, DCI-P3 coverage 95% (Adobe RGB not mentioned).

I am just over 60. Other than routine uses (Internet browsing, reading/writing etc.) the monitor will be used for image processing. For raw images, that means darktable most of the time.

I print occasionally and I will probably be printing more in the coming months. I should be happy to anticipate the look of my prints with less trial&error.

My questions are :

  • Considering ergonomics, should I opt for more resolution or more panel color bit depth?
  • What does the coverage of 95% of DCI-P3 (? Display P3) color space mean for a darktable user?

The price difference between these monitors -of different brands- is not significant.

Note: I hope, this message is not taken as irrelevant as it might seem to be on hardware. For me, it is definitely on darktable because I wouldn’t be replacing my monitor if I wasn’t starting to be able to use darktable with a much better understanding of it nowadays.

DCI-P3 is a color space that Apple hardware often is “calibrated” to. I believe it is important for movies and video production. But maybe it’s only an American thing.
The DCI-P3 space is has a similar volume to AdobeRGB, but it is a bit differently shaped - it shows slightly differenct colors. So for photo editing I would definitely recommend the first screen.

DCI-P3 is basically the global standard for cinema.

Right now, the display and content delivery workflows for video are waaaay ahead of stills. Getting anything wider than sRGB with a depth of more than 8 bits to a recipient is basically impossible for stills, but there are multiple standardized and widely deployed methods (HDR10/HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG) for delivering 10-bit wide gamut video to an end user.

That’s one reason why darktables scene referred workflow is hard to understand if you’re used to just drag some sliders and curves between 0 and 1 …
