That's nice that they come color calibrated. I had to do that by eye with my most recent monitors. I phones are a pretty good reference for anyone who has to do this.
You cannot color calibrate by eyes. It's simply not possible.
Also, adjusting to an iPhone, is a bad idea. All Apple products use DCI-P3 color space, and gamma 1.96. All images are either sRGB or AdobeRGB, so they will not look correct on an iPhone. And gamma 1,96 is a non standard. sRGB use gamma 2.2, so unless your images on your computer or on the web have the sRGB color profile embedded, they will not be displayed correctly, on an iPhone or any Mac display.
As most of the world adhere to standards, like sRGB, Rec.709 etc., it's Apple who needs to change, and they won't.
Does it matter if I get 144hz or 60hz ?
I have a MacBook that’s 1080p but I wanted to edit my videos on a 4K computer monitor because I mostly deal with 4K files and 120fps for slow motion shots so I was gonna connect it through my HDMi.
60Hz is fine for editing. Some people feel a difference but it’s mostly a preference thing
Ok so sRGB for web images. What profile so you use if you are going to print your image?
Adobe RGB. I mention it right after
I'm wondering if having 2 monitors with different refresh rates would potentially mess with your eyes?
I say this without checking anywhere but I think you can limit a 144p to 60p while working. But I could be wrong.
You'll notice it but it wont do anything to your eyesight or vision. If youre watching the same content on 2 monitors but the frame rate and hz are different, the slower one looks a lot more choppy and like a slideshow presentation
I just wanna ask I bought a 99% srgb monitor. Do I need to put GPU to my pc? I saw some of my friends uses it and somehow improve the color to their monitors.
hey buddy!, i'm really confused between LG 29WQ500 (29 inch) UltraWide FHD (2560 x 1080) IPS Monitor and a Acer XZ306CX 29.5 Inch (74.93 Cm) Ultrawide 21:9 [VA PANEL] and i'm a video editor and in my free time i use to play slight gaming and can you suggest which monitor is better for me?
How do the colors shift over time ?? 🤔
Light burns into the screen (not literally, your monitor won’t be damaged), the colors start to shift a little bit because of this
I been struggling to find a monitor especially one that i can game on every now and again. Clutch.
Yeah this has been a really great option for both for me
I am hunting for the same , i am confused between Asus Pro Art vs BenQ, what is your suggestion .
OLED and LCD display black and contrast very differently. Would you always recommend OLED?
Hope someone answers this
@@robinfro3610no one has answered this 😔
oled for color correction
Nice video!
Looking for the exact same thing. Are they both 4k? Also the 144hz?
These are both 1440p and one is 144hz. But I believe there are also 4K options
@@DelaneyMedia ok thx. So u think 4k is not mandatory, especially for video editing?
Definitely not mandatory. It’s more of a preference. I find 1440p is perfectly good
@@DelaneyMedia whats a good 4k option with 144hz? cant use 60 hz at all now period
Alright dude, I think I am going to buy one of these through your affiliate link. I don't game. Do you think the 60 Hz one would be any worse for color correction if I am only working on video? I figure it shouldn't matter since most of my videos are only going to be in 24fps. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks for the tips and the video!
Yeah 60Hz is perfectly good for everything editing related. You really only need more than that if you’re gaming
@@DelaneyMedia just scooped the 144htz, they have a pretty decent discount on it right now. Thanks for the recs!
I see no reason, whatsoever, to not buy a high refresh monitor. 75Hz is good, anything above is better. Only if the budget for building the monitor would influence the other features, like color accuracy and black level, would I go down in Hz or just save a bit more up. But I would never buy a 60Hz monitor, for any reason.
What about the panel?
OLED, IPS, VA? Which one to pick for photo editing?
Or is it doesnt really matter as long as the colour space and colour accuracy r good?
VA is way too cheap, OLED can cause burn in, IPS is the best way to go really
ips
@@andrediego6131 ok, thanks
if i use a colour meter thing which i h ave already on my current gaming monitor, would that "Fix" it into being accurate? or should i still get a display like this
Any calibration will make any display more color accurate. Just don't use online sites, that claim they can calibrate anything. You need a colorimeter and software.
Most monitors, even gaming monitors, can be pretty accurate, after a calibration.
Editing hdr photos in Lightroom is only possible with hdr1000, right? Wouldn't nits amount be just as important color accuracy, when dealing with hdr photo editing?
Flanders scientific the best monitors out for a while just use they specs and go off that fr
Flanders are design for rec 709 for colorist in mind. They are the best for videos. The best color calibrated monitor for photo is eizo with self calibrated hardware. In theory you suppose to do self calibration every 7 days at least.
