    As one of the “Crawl” participants, I certainly agree about the issues viewing/comparing the two Sony monitors. The 4G nit rig was notably brighter everywhere compared to the 1G nit unit. It was plain mentally puzzling, to keep looking between them. And the hard and rather constant clipping on the 1G unit had me thinking that 1) either the grade was poor to begin with, as why would you have SO much hard clipping of white on a 1,000 nit monitor … or 2) they were purposely mangling the grade on the 1G monitor to make the 4G monitor look better.

    The ability to talk with and hear the comments from so many knowledgeable folks from Patrick Inhofer through Peder through MTO … and on and on … was also wondrous.

    Joey’s comments on the x300 hit a sore spot. We had a lot of issues with our model staying calibrated for any given amount of time.
