    I don’t know what your NLE software is, but, HP, Dell and Lenovo are the only systems qualified for use with Media Composer. Any other systems aren’t qualified and won’t be supported by Avid.

    All these benchmarks are for lesser Ivy Bridge processors than the 3840.I think you’ll find that the 3840 compares very favorably to the 4770, especially in light of the higher graphics processor frequency.

    The haswells are only marginally faster than the Ivy bridge….

    The real difference between the 22nm die shrink and the new architecture is in power efficiency.
    Bottom line: if you have deep pockets, go for the haswells. if you have a budget, go for the Ivy Bridge.

    What might tip the scales for the haswells are the inclusion of Thunderbolt.

    NeatVideo is the defacto standard for noise reduction software. I’ve spoken with the developers at NV. The issue appears to be bugs in the beta version of Resolve 10. As soon as these are resolved(no pun intended) NV will be up and running in Davinci.

    Not sure why you said this. The stock w530 is, for sure, inadequate. But, once you build a custom configuration,it beats those gaming laptops hands down.

    Looking at the calibration videos for the Calman5, it is entirely realistic to be able to use a LUT on a cheap consumer monitor and get results that are competitive with an FSI or other professional monitor. And by using an inline LUTbox, it’s significantly cheaper and more flexible than these built in LUT capabilities in something like the FSI or Eizo. Take a look at the capabilities of the Fujifilm IS-mini, it’s an amazing product.

    After talking with the folks at Spectracal, it makes no difference whether the correction LUT is applied to the entire monitor or to the application (as in Resolve). The only difference being that I have to remember to disable the node in Resolve that contains my monitor LUT before I generate an output file.

    I just ordered a hardware bundle from Spectracal that does the same.The Calman5 will generate a 3D LUT for input to the Fujifilm LUT box. From there, I can feed a cheap consumer LCD to get true Rec709(provided that the LCD has a large enough color space. Ive found most Samsung monitors have this.)

    So, are you using a LUT box?
