The number one resource for information about HDR technology, workflows, tutorials, news and opinion.
Whether editing in Final Cut Pro or viewing clips in QuickTime, my videos appear washed out and greenish-tinged, whereas watching with VLC player, they look pretty much like what I'm seeing when using my LG OLED television as a grading monitor. It should be noted I'm looking at the screenshots full size in a completely... Continue Reading →

https://youtu.be/VDG_lmEPc_g?t=1013 Vincent Teoh, in his unboxing video of the Panasonic HZ1000 OLED TV, corroborates what I've been saying for months now, which is that an OLED display should outperform Apple's Pro Display XDR for HDR grading, and just might be the best budget option short of a reference monitor. When I reviewed the Apple Pro... Continue Reading →

Just a few years ago, when HDR was still in its infancy and VESA had not yet even published standards for HDR monitors, Atomos, along with Mystery Box and several other influential content creators, were advocating the use of production monitors for grading HDR video on a budget - with some even going so far...

https://youtu.be/FXL9XjaIiwI I'm hoping to do another video this week shot with the Voigtlander Macro Apo-Lanthar 65mm f/2, among the sharpest lenses in the E-mount system and one that has been largely ignored by YouTubers. I've just got to pick up a long HDMI cable so I can confirm focus with my Shogun Inferno while the... Continue Reading →

Straight out of camera. 2. Leeming LUT applied. 3. Graded... Continue Reading →

https://youtu.be/_S7pMM54IJE This is only the second video graded using the LG OLED C7. I talk about the lighting arrangement, the digital audio recorder I'll be using until I can find a decent microphone and the new curtains in my room. 🙂
For as long as I can remember, I'd been attaching the Titan arm to the rosette mount of my Benro S8 video head. But it was less than ideal, not only because it increased the likelihood that someone would bump into the attached monitor, it also meant that I was always looking to the side... Continue Reading →
Exhausted from weeks of struggling to get the colors of the Dolby Vision certified Asus PA32UCX to match those of my LG OLED C7, last night, in a fit of desperation, I connected the Blackmagic Ultrastudio 4K Mini directly to the television, opened up a long dormant project in Final Cut Pro, began grading, and...

Asus ProArt PA32UCX (l), iMac (c), LG OLED C7 (r) I thought I'd jot down my first impressions of the PA32UCX solely in its capacity as a grading monitor for delivery to YouTube - the primary purpose for which I purchased the display. For this, I'm evaluating the image quality of an HLG HDR video... Continue Reading →
