Reference Monitors & LG’s OLEDs in The Color Suite

I did do the 2 point calibration in the service menu first, and only made slight adjustments to the 20 point white balance that really consisted mostly of luminance adjustments

Makes sense, I had the 4k pro as well but I sold it because I didn’t want to pay all that money for a teranex mini to convert the sdi to hdmi and a hd furry. I don’t think the boxio supports the high frame rates in 4k though.

correct as it has 2x3G inputs so 2160p30

my E7 had some updates available at home, will check out the B’s when I’m in the office. It’d be great if they got that sorted with a software update!

yes…that’s correct Dan can chime in with more detailed info. The X300 at 30in is about the minimum size to make that work.. and of course a lot of suites feature a single monitor (dolby etc). I’ve just never been comfortable with the client sitting up with me.

What have your issues with a perceptual match been?

Hey Robbie, just not having good calibration done by the guy I hired last to get the perceptual match at the end between FSI and Panny plasma after using probe and software of course. I have otherwise had good results using a LUT box to match between those displays in the past. Would love to see a Flanders 4K, HDR, OLED answer to Sony 🙂 as I make the switch to a new workstation and desk this year I have been taking screengrabs of setups I come across on instagram and facebook.

I hear you about having clients next to you, it can be a pain when the vibe is not great. I get a decent amount of dp’s and director’s wanting to get up and look at the ‘confidence monitor / hero display’ especially for commercial fashion or beauty. Using a single display in the room has been on my radar more recently in the last year or so because I have freelanced at a couple of places which have the Dolby 4200 and I really like looking at the same display as the client, but also ergonomically with newer adjustable desks for example, bias lighting and the rigging of that behind your display changes a bit. It would be great to see how you guys have your bias lighting rigged behind your SDI display and client monitors. Anyways, thank you for the wealth of information, super helpful!

an eye match at the end is not the way to roll – it should be built into the actual calibration. Really all it is is a white point adjustment. Freeze the hero monitor on a white field, then grade the other monitor to visually match – if you want you can also try this with a 50% gray field to check. Once that’s done take a reading of the white field and write those xy coordinates down. When you go to calibrate those new coordinates are your new white point – other chromaticity points should be left alone for what ever color space you’re calibrating too

one thing you might consider about setup is a perpendicular setup in my room clients backs are to me but on my right. So I can see the client display but they can’t (without effort) see mine. However I’m also really happy with my matching so it’s less of an issue.

wow! so recent firmware updates have cleaned this up tremendously! That’s good news. I was still able to get some banding pushing things but those high values probably wouldn’t be used normally if using the CMS for calibration.
