Hello people, I hope you are all keeping good!
I am a videographer/editor looking to upgrade my monitor. Sadly my knowledge is not extense and after some researching on thw web, I ended up morer confused than cleared.
My clients are mostly local busines, events, bands, etc. I'm nowhere near being a PRO or trying to have broadcast standards, but I do enjoy an appreciate a good piece of gear from time to time. Regardless, my budget is not much, and I am not planing spending more than 700€.
Currently I edit from and i9, and RTX 2070. I shoot wiith a Panasonic GH5s and an Atomos Ninja V
The monitor I'm using at the moment is an Acer Predator XB281HK.
I narrowed down my search to 2 models, if anyone had experience with them I'd appreciate their testimony:
Option 1: BENQ SW270C (1440P) This is indeed, no 4K resolution, but apparently is high gamma of benq, the 32 inch version and the 4K version are extra money that I was planning to use on a HHardware Calibrator. I was planing on using this to grade and keep my other 27 monitor to use as UI. Would it affect not being 4K when it comes to grading?
Option 2: BENQ PD3200PT (4K UHD) This apparently is less quality, maybe less colour range (I can't seem to find extense specs either) but it has good reviews, if I go with this I would consider not keeping my other monitor and just work with one 32 inch.
So my question is if I should upgrade to any of those monitors (or maybe another brand, open to suggestions) or it would be better to stick to mine and invest in a calibration hardware like the X Rite, etc?
When it comes to resolution I try to deliver most of the projects in 4K, they ask for that a lot, even if then they wont play it in a 4K screen. Herre comes my next question: The two options I listed are apparently 10 bit, but the 1440 P has more comments to be used in video, so even if I edit and deliver in 4K, would be a bad idea to grade in a 1440 monitor?
Thanks in advance for your time!
