As several people have commented, the most important thing is calibration! I gather this model can be calibrated using the cable and loading in a calibration 3D LUT. Please could you respond to this comment with how successful you found this (and how accurate the monitor became) or make a separate video showing the calibration process? Thanks in advance!
I know this video is 2 years old now and hopefully you’ve already realized this but “brightness” changes the lightness of the image not the actual brightness of the monitor. The backlight is what changes the number of nits the monitor is outputting.
Have you had any scaling issues with this monitor? I've noticed when running a camera through the HDMI input that it crops the outer pixels in the frame around 5% or so. So the image appears more "zoomed in" that it actually is. Ever run into this?
Great review. I got this monitor recently and like it a lot. But they want $80 for the tiny cheese plate that fits on the back. That is very high, considering you can get similar cheese plates for about $7 at small rig. Have you found a 3rd party cheese plate which will fit on the back of this monitor? Would love to avoid spending the $80.
What are the exact dimensions? I’m tempted to get it but want to see if I can fit just the monitor in let’s say my Pelican 1615 TP - I couldn’t find the monitor dimensions anyway
Do you have any guidance for finding a super bright monitor without all the bells and whistles? I only need brightnesses (anything from 17-21" --ideally 17")? I cant find anything to fit the bill outside of this one and the Atmos (which is way overkill).
Great video as alway, thx. I found with this monitor when I look at the screen close up there is noticeable noise...even when exposed correctly. Is that normal in an HD Production monitor? Image is good etc..just wondering about that noise...which seems non-exposure related if that makes sense.
Big monitors are great but if you don’t know how true the color is there is no point. Someone should compare this monitor to a Flanders or the small HD production oleds
I dont understand.. as a dp you dont need a giant monitor because you wont rig that thing on your camera.. as a first AC I can understand why you would want a bigger monitor. Those guys gotta be really fast and run around with the dp a lot so I understand why they prefer small monitors. So I can only really understand it for the director, production, continuety etc people and they actually almost always have a big monitor because they will stay at one place most of the time.
@@brendanclark.8059 😂 dude hop off the horse, I’m asking how it’s relevant to the video. Most of us obviously shoot digital and here you come talking about film??? Make it make sense bro
I like Spenser's channel. He does great work. I was being snarky because Spenser was making broad assumptions on how other cinematographers work. When I was shooting negative, there was nothing to monitor. You had an analog light meter and an ISO. The relevance? I can use those same techniques today and get a great image. Does any of it matter here? Not really. They're just tools. And opinions. Spenser has his, I have mine. Again, I was being snarky.
Wondering if I can mount this on top of my BMPCC 4K for accurate focus in run and gun situations.
Hello! Great Content 😍 May I ask what camera and lens you used to shoot this scene @1:17 ? Thanks in advance!

I think the most important thing in a monitor this size wasn't talked about in this video. How easy is it to calibrate?
Better than any a7iv videos release today

Well, that was an epic intro haha! Great video, I always use a 5“ monitor which already feels huge compared to the built-in 3“ screen😄

Yes! Something I always thought about
'I love this TV!' - Micheal Scott
Couldn’t agree more with the importance of a large monitor on set.
I take a 55 inch TV for the clients when I'm in the studio. I use "real" monitors, but the clients love the TV.
You got me! I need it! I think I'll rent one and see whats happening but they look sooooo good!
What’s the weight? Light enough to mount on a dolly? Jib? Tripod? Magic arm?
Is there a vesa mount?
Can this model do Picture in Picture or Picture By Picture?
This model can’t but they have one that can

Does this have anamorphic desqueeze? I see some other models from osee that only have 1.33 and 2x
Dang, this looks like a pretty good piece of equipment. That baby pin mount looks a liiiiittle sketch though
Yeah its honestly fine. Its metal and has 4 screws total holding it together. Its just an odd design imo
I noticed some distinct lag on the monitor, seems strange for SDI input
You’ll see that when filming a monitor sometimes. There if basically no lag in reality.
Great video. Doest come with that custom foam?
what sort of filmmaking do you do?
really thought the intro was serious for like the first 20sec… was about to dm you pissed
🤣

17” SmallHD for me.
What lens was the outdoor scene shot on? :)
sigma 18-35 on my ef-rf speedbooster

Nice Rob Ellis style music.
this looks dope bro - are you able to monitor more than 1 camera on it at the same time?
great video
You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Red, not join them! (C)
Yeah. A large monitor is nice to have it on set. But a good monitor...like Flanders or Sony.
Is it wrong to say I like glossy monitors :P
When he disregards the zcam because it only has prores422hq, but then films in that same codec on the red...
6k red raw for talking head is out of control 🤣

I light my scenes on a tripod and i dont even touch the camera during this process. So the big monitor is amazing for that.
You need to talk about calibration. Which pretty much should happen every time you shoot in a different location. Otherwise they are useless.
I’m guessing you’ve never had to wait for film to come back from the lab.
How is that relevant?
@@thewholeninemedia If you had ever shot film before, you know.

The ones that I could not afford, but only for rent in my life. hehehe
