Reply to Does Resolve still use the Dongle for the full version?

I took a closer look at the downloads and now see they sell a “Studio” version for $295. The unused Dongle I have is in a DVD case with DVD that says “DaVinci Resolve” Mac OS X. It does have a serial number on it. Before I stick that serial number in I thought I’d ask here. Do new purchases of Resolve no longer have dongles? I liked the Dongle so…

Does Resolve still use the Dongle for the full version?

The last time I used Resolve it was on version 12… so it’s been awhile.

I just bought a new Mac and am now going to download and install Resolve 17. But I’m not sure what has changed or if the dongle I have will still work. I have two Dongle I bought with cameras 6+ years ago. One is still on an imac that is actually still running Mountain Lion…

I ended up going with this one:

It’s a starter to get get back into editing and grading. It’s doesn’t have HDR10 support but overall I like it so far.

Okay, now I’m looking at this one:

LG 27UK850-W 27″ 4K UHD IPS Monitor with HDR10 with USB Type-C Connectivity

EDIT: Although after looking for a place to buy it I think this may be an older model. Amazon has it for sale from Rocket Computers, which I have never heard of. And Walmart has it for 4 different prices (I don’t get that) that are all in…

After looking at these for a while it seems that the choice seems to be between the LG and the Dell. They both seem pretty good for the price. I’m down to trying to figure if either or both are able to be calibrated at home. I forgot to mention I’m looking for 27″ too.

The LGs model number is LG UN860W

Decent $400 to $600 Color Grading monitors?

It’s been years since I’ve done any grading but I’m about to jump back in. I’m trying to find a temporary (6 months) monitor to use that is the best I can get for a Mac Mini until I update my system to something much more serious. I’ve been Googling around and getting some general ideas on Monitors but I thought if I asked here maybe people could…
