Vincent Teoh: Colorists Should Consider an OLED TV
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 →

Should You Be Using a Production Monitor for Grading HDR in 2020?
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...

New Grade!
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 →
Continuing Impressions of Using an OLED TV for Grading
https://youtu.be/nFG1XpcK2pE In this video, I give some brief early impressions of using an OLED TV for grading, how I think the soon-to-be released LG CX 48" OLED could be ideal for filmmakers and how I messed up the skin tones in my last video. 1. Straight out of camera. 2. Leeming LUT applied. 3. Graded... Continue Reading →

New Studio Setup

Why I Switched to OLED for Grading
https://youtu.be/3c4Q1ScSqPY Even if you’ve only been inattentively following my blog, you probably already know by now that I’m pretty dissatisfied with my Asus PA32UCX: bad haloing in spite of 1,152 dimming zones; poorly conceived design (ports are all but inaccessible, the OSD controls are all behind the display, the hood is attached with ten easily...

Selling My Asus ProArt PA32UCX-K!
Whether grading Rec. 709 or HDR footage, the colors of the Asus are too warm; and in order to calibrate the monitor, I'd need to shell out another $1,600.00 for the Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K HDR, with no guarantee that the colors would be any better. For only $1,300.00, you can pick up... Continue Reading →
Bright Tangerine Titan Arm: Most Stable Configuration
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 →
Plug and Play
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...
