  • What settings for Intensity Pro / Dell U2410?

    Posted by Ben Edwards on May 10, 2013 at 7:05 pm

    Hi, I am grading for DVD/Web and using a Intensity Pro with a Dell Ultrasharp U2400 and trying to work out what I should be using on Master Import Settings. Trying to work out what settings I should use in the Master Project Settings. I am currently using Video levels but ther colours seem a little desaturated (compared with my other monitor and when played on my LG Plasma downstairs). I am using the Adobe RGB preset on the monitor which from my research seems to be the best.

    Any advice greatly received,
    Ben

    Good question. I thought it was something I read at https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2410.htm but I just looked at it again and I was way of mark. It says the presets are not that good but calibrating it gave good results. It may of been that I did not have a wide gamut calibrator so maybe in that respect presets are better (for me).

    The bottom line is I need get a X-Rite i1 Display Pro and ditch the Intensity Pro. I have a extra PCIx4 slot in my box that I could put a basic graphics card in to run one of the monitors (I have 3, 1 for resolve, 1 for scopes and one for video).

    But if I put 2 graphics card in wont Resolve Lite refuse to work, or will it just only use 1 GPU for doing its number crunching (hopefully it will use the best one for this).

    The last question is can I get Resolve to use a GPU to to view full screen video (this is why I had the intensity pro as I thought Resolve needed Blackmagic hardware for full screen preview).
