Maybe a Dell or Samsung? I am reading a lot of QC issues for the BenQ. Maybe it is "old" (from last year...) but it has HDMI 2.0, DCI P3 and even HDR 10 if you need it. I Don't know any Samsung PC monitor that is aimed at pro video editing. Kisaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Have to use the DisplayPort to get 2K out of mine. Mine is a 2K monitor tops. 4 hours ago, mirekti said: I had just placed an order for SW271, and then read the above. Oh man, there's always something. Do you know why it didn't recognize it as a 4k monitor? I use Intensity Pro 4k. I can run a 4K signal to it using the same HDMI cable from a camera (GH5s is what I tested with), and the monitor will properly display an image downscaled to 2560x1440 and indicate on-screen that it's receiving the 3840x2160 signal. but from the 4K Mini Monitor PCI card, when sending a 4K signal, it will work going to a 4K display, but will swap over to an HD signal if connected to a 2560x1440 or 1920x1080 display. This is something I've tried everything to get working (Display Port, etc) and the only explanation left is that the Blackmagic Decklink card thinks it's helping by sending an HD signal when connected to a display with a native res beneath 4k/UHD. I haven't been able to get any info out of Blackmagic support, but have run into other people in various forum that have the same issue. thephoenix and webrunner5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirekti Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 One thing confuses me a bit in terms of color accuracy. The monitor comes precalibrated for certain color spaces. Then you can also custom calibrate it. Let’s assume that the factory precalibration was perfect and the monitor is great out of the box, at one point in time these precalibrated profiles become bad as we all know one needs to recalibrate the monitor every now and then, correct? So what’s the use of those predefined profiles as eventually you need to use those custom ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 5 hours ago, webrunner5 said: For what BMD program, Resolve? Resolve doesn't give a rats ass what monitor you are using. If you have the BMD SDI one I can see that but, just a HDMI one, nah. Now they make a HDMI one with breakout cables, but that is still more an audio thing than video. You're right - Resolve doesn't give a rats ass which monitor you are using - unless you're using one of the BM output devices the official line from BM is that Resolve can't be reliably colour calibrated as the OS and other things can't be relied upon not to screw the colours up. With their output hardware they have full control and can guarantee the reliability and quality and IIRC have the calibration integrated into Resolve. 5 hours ago, webrunner5 said: But I have never used 2 monitors at the same time in Resolve so who knows. I've tried, but it's not a pleasant experience as it's not that flexible. Resolve lets you use two monitors but the functionality is a PITA because the way you want it setup (with one monitor as a controller and the other with the preview window on it) isn't really supported, because (you guessed it) they expect you to use one of their output devices and use that as your preview monitor.

liork Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Yes, you need a Windows picture profile for the new computer. thephoenix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirekti Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 ...I gave up, had SW271 for a day, returned it, and purchased PVM-A250. That’s it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar setup, a lot more random-ish than yours (2x2K 27", 43" TV + laptop). What is the best value for money BM card for 4K preview? Intensity Pro 4K? All those monitors we are mentioning here, are pseudo 10 bit, they are really 8+2, is the BM necessary for those? I feel like the BM cards are overkill since we do not really have true 10 bit panels. I decided to go with the LG 32UD99, is the one readily available in my country but I am trying to figure out my workflow (Resolve+Premiere).

androidlad Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Just got word from Light Illusion that only PV270 has true 3D LUT hardware calibration (17x17x17 3D LUT), other models with hardware calibration only do 1D LUT + 3x3 matrix.

Theatrical DCI-P3 uses gamma 2.6 with 48nit peak white, but it's meant for reflected view projection screens. NEVER EVER grade any theatrical projects on a direct view display.

But you need to make sure you monitor is calibrated and maintained at 100nit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
