    Good Day All,
    Am about to get into post on a feature length movie that will be released on digital Cinema.
    Can i use the HP W2371d monitor with its DCI-P3 preset or do i bite the bullet and get something like the BENQ PV270?

    Hi Ayodele,

    the HP monitor has just a HD resolution, the Benq has a 2k resolution, definitely the better monitor.
    So I would recommend the eizo monitor, which is expensive.
    We’ve one workstation with a blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K PCIx card and a lilliput 4k 27 zoll monitor.
    It is a very good monitor.
    If I would go for monitoring, I would always choose a full 4k monitoring. The eizo (CG3145 ColorEdge) is 4k as well and it’s one of the best, the lilliput is very good, but not as good as the eizo.

    cheers

    Rainer
