Too many monitors

[Hector Vera]

You can always look up in google for “Best Curved Monitors for Video Editing” and I found a list of them for you! Hope this would help. Best ones would be within the 4K/IPS monitor screens for some of the best color correction options out there. Hope it helps! Even if it says 2023, I am sure they are good for 2024 as well!

Hey Mary,

As Hector suggests, there are many “best 5” lists out there for curved monitors.

However, call me old fashioned, but:
Curved monitors are great for saving space and seeing everything on one screen.
I do not use them myself, but have considered it.

However, when finishing and doing the final pass on the Master, my preference would be a flat monitor. Only so I can have the same experience as the vast amount of people watching the program.
(That is subject to change as ultra-thin roll-out mobiles/tablets/TVs becomes mainstream)

This should not stop you from getting a curved monitor, but maybe for you to consider using a flat calibrated monitor for confidence and last check.

Just an opinion.

When they come up with one that can replace three Cinema 30s, them I’m in 🙂

Every year I’ve been checking and waiting and still nothing to date.

And it would strictly be for GUI.

Nothing can replace my Eizo for grading.

[Mads Nybo jørgensen]

Eric, totally agree.

One big AMEN to that!!!
And no, I’m not religious – but my EIZO is my “altar”.

Currently working up to getting a 4K monitor, although I did afew months back I managed to sneak in a 65″ LG OLED instead.
There is a story waiting to be told about that going in to the living room, as I thought that the plasma it replaced was of a similar size (it was 42″!!! 😱).
At least my young kids appreciated it by saying: “Thank You dad, we have now got a cinema” 😂

But the right EIZO monitor, if grading, is that thing you never thought you needed, but once you have it, it will never leave you.

Thank you and I agree with you about staying flat for color grading.

Thanks for the link, Hector.

EIZO CG3146 (not OLED and using backlight) is about $30,000 US. I’ve used one (not mine) but found I can color grade (HDR or otherwise) with same level of accuracy and more easily on a $1200 LG C2 43″.

If I were to do non-OLED display, then EIZO would be the choice, but I can’t see myself going back to any non-OLED display now or in the future regardless of the feature set the display brings.

No specs for the system in question.

Careful if you have a Mac, it’s still a bit of a nightmare finding a wide screen that goes higher than 1200 pixels height.

Has anyone tested or have any experience with the ViewSonic VP3881A and Mac?

Asking for a friend 🙂
