just admit it you edit those youtube videos where people make complicated inedible desserts

The HDR10 spec was bad at launch, it's getting better, but i'm not sure if UHD-Bluray will need a version update like blu-ray got where the 2.0 discs pretty much broke on 1.0 launch units.

hey pagancow what gamma should i calibrate to when i like to watch movies in the dark?

displaycal says i should use 2.8

lol no.

2.2 in bright rooms. 2.4 in theater rooms with almost no light on when watching.

just go 2.2 if you ever turn the lights on, or have windows

figured as much, the reason why they're holding off on a dedi camera is because they expected a four figgie expense in related stuff. got any links to stuff i can read up on to figure out where to go from here?

You can go the lol route and buy whatever the newest from SHENZHEN CHINA, but they will have problems with color CRI, and when you expand to buy more expensive gear you're buying new lights becuase you cant match them. It just depends on how big of a production budget you're going for and just execute on it.

what if you just shoot outdoors with daylight

Look at the spectrum graph to understand why not all lights are created equal:

these are professional lights designed for lighting stuff you make money off of. Imagine what kind of lol backlight gets put into the monoprice special.

can someone run me through the pro/cons of a superwide display? i'm looking at the u3417w in a mildly color sensitive context and it looks needs suiting

pros you think youre going to be cool and unique so put red lights on that fucker

cons, its bad for games and work and you get to fight with your monitor to do anything

16:9 monitors are garbage trash for trash people who live in garbage and only watch garbage trash youtube videos when they arent in the garbage

wrong

they are for people mastering content, there are expensive 16x9 displays that I dont put any UI, only debayered pixels that cost more than your car
