Choosing A 4k Reference Monitor

Hello
Great discussion about clients monitor .
I have a request if you can do a video tutorial inside about : how you get your client monitor (LG…. etc) calibrated and match to your reference monitor (FSI or sony ……etc)
Since not all of us can afford FSI XM650U.
thank you

Great question. We are slowly approaching that topic with our calibration series. The short answer: You calibrate + eyeball it. It’s called the ‘perceptual match’. But it’s rather detailed and involved… so once we’ve laid the calibration foundation in our current series we’ll be ready to move on to that series – since it builds on what we’re teaching.

Patrick! How soon you forget!

Rami – I’ve done an an Insight on perceptual matching here https://mixinglight.com/color-tutorial/calibrating-to-match-a-quick-guide-to-perceptually-matching-two-monitors/

It could use some minor updates but the principle remains the same in both Calman and Lightspace.

DOH! I keep forgetting about that Insight. Yup, it’s all there. But we’ll also do a video-based one as well.

thank you all for the great information

Great info, thank you! You guys mention consumer-grade LG monitors for UHD client monitoring. What model are you using? What would you recommend we buy if we can’t afford the XM650U ?

Edit: never mind, I found the answer in episode 36! https://mixinglight.com/color-tutorial/reference-monitors-lgs-oleds-in-the-color-suite/

Hey guys! I have a very pressing matter concerning the Online suite in our facility. We recently constructed it and have had a few cleint sessions in the room and recently noticed a fairy evident lag on our client monitor. 4L OLED by LG. Is there a way in Resolve to simply offset the audio playback by 4 frames? I don’t need it to be in sync on my GUI or Reference just the client monitor. Also we are using the Blackmagic UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3. I believe premiere and Avid have an offset control so I assumed DR would as well. (audio offset in the playout section only affects tape playout – according to the manual) Thanks in advance!

In resolve 15.2 there is a specific audio offset control.
