Kona LHi and RED 2K

[Bjarki Gudjonsson] “Just out of curiosity – have you had a chance to compare the Dreamcolor to the FSI monitors?”

Unfortunately, no. The FSI monitors are 8 bit vs Dreamcolor 10 bit. FSI has a yet to be released 10 bit monitor (or maybe it’s just released) for $8,000 US.

FSI has many more bells and whistles (audio, tc, scopes) but for the 10bit version, it is 4 times the price as the Dreamcolor. I haven’t found anything that has the quality of the Dreamcolor for the cost. Some people don’t want to believe it because it’s a ‘computer monitor’ but the FSI monitors are using a version of a LUT just like the Dreamcolor. You will have to see it to believe it. I would LOVE to do a side by side test of the Dreamcolor vs the 10bit FSI, but for me, it’s hard to arrange.

That’s really good news. I’m really excited about the Dreamcolor. One of the things I won’t have in that setup is a scope, so I was thinking about the I’m Blackmagic Ultrascope to have on the side. The thread is drifting off-topic, I guess, but I’d be interested to see what people think of the Ultrascope.
