OK….BMD Deckink and NVidia cards are completely different things. They don’t serve the same purpose. If you get a Decklink card, you still need the video card….the Nvidia or GeForce…to get a signal to your computer displays. And some applications like Premiere and Resolve also leverage the graphics card to help with real time playback and lessen render times. The BMD card is to get a video signal out to a broadcast monitor or HDTV for client viewing full screen, or for color correction.
[Manish Chaudhary] “which samsung or sony HDTV are good for my workflow i have to deliver to web mainly so i thnk i have to buy HDTV you suggested.
can you please tell me what are best display for my budget under $2000 ?”I’m sorry, I don’t know which model TV will be good….I don’t have a current model. I haven’t shopped around for one and compared models. Hopefully someone else can chime in…
[Manish Chaudhary] “or for starting work i should use these computer monitors via BMD you suggest or BMD PCIe Card?”
It’s best NOT to use computer monitors via blackmagic. I mean, there are a couple that people have liked, like the Dreamcolor. And a few others (I can’t recall brands because I don’t use them, and don’t plan on using them). But you can get a decent image feeding some specific models via the Decklink card.
Which BMD card? Well, if you have Thunderbolt 3, you can get the one I suggested. If you have a tower with PCIe…then you can get the INtensity internal cards.
Really…what I honestly suggest you do is contact an expert…a reseller who specializes in video editing equipment. Because you need personal guidance on this in making sure you get the right thing and that it’s set up properly. I’m sure you are good at what you do, but you seem pretty inexperienced in this particular technical aspect, so you should seek assistance beyond a forum post. Someone to help in person.

thanx shane for your great time
what i meant with nvidia geforce or quadro is “quadro output 10-bit color and geforce dont” thats why i am asking about geforce and quadro cards.
i think after searched alot and experts says if you have 10bit expencive monitor than you need nvidia quadro card and geforce dosen’t render 10-bit color space -
For Web connect the Computer monitor to your Video Card because that’s what people are going to be watching it on. A Compiter Monitor!!!!!
Yes you should still have a decent or high end video card for Adobes Mercury Engine and if you use DaVinsi Resolve as examples. Also know that many computer monitors will not work at some frame rates when connected to the HDMI Port on output devices like Blackmagic or AJA etc. Computer monitor scan rates are 60-70HZ while these Output Devices will be sending out frame rates like 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 and even 30FPS (i.e. 23.976, 24HZ etc). Even worse some of those frame rates can be interlaced which computer monitors just hate. Newer monitors may support all those scan rates but you can only find out by actually trying it. Computer Monitor Manufacturers generally don’t print those types of specs and most computer salesmen will not know if they will support those scan rates or not.
So my setup has two computer monitors a 55″ 4K LG OLed TV and a Flanders CM-250 Reference Monitor. Yes the Flanders damn near bankrupted me but it’s saved my ass so many times that it’s more than payed for itself.

Thanx @Brent
inow days my main work goes arround web but in future it will be go on tv’s and also some times it goes now a days but not that majorly as web so is it good to connect my computer monitor via nvidia quadro and some monitors are factory calibrated to rec.709, sRgb, DCI-P3, Adobe RGB.
also my mentioned monitors also calibrated to rec.709 so what you think is it good to start with computer monitor and a good HDTV (can calibrated to rec.709). ? -
Now it’s up to your bank account and your eyes. At this point the only way someone can truly help you is if you buy one of us a plane ticket to wherever you are and we go shopping with you.
Research, reasearch, research.
Don’t forget to take into consideration things like the colour of the wall behind your colour correction monitor. It needs to be fairly neutral, there’s a specific gray that’s used but I can’t remember the name of it now. Colours that lean heavily to the primary colours will cause problems. So say your wall is blue your eyes will become less sensitive to blue and you will end up colouring heavier on the blue side. Not good!!!

ya i read somewhere you have to put 18 or 80 % of gray on your wall not remember what is it but something like this and first i have to buy monitor and also in 5-10 days i’ll put gray color what suits perfect for color grading ( i’ll do this after long research )
thanx all of you

This is my personal observation… I’d rather put $$$ in a color analyzer that supports your display, than a $$$ monitor….
Unless your monitor has lost it’s backlight…..You buy a god sensor and software, you can ‘fix’ a monitor with bad tracking…..
