Grading monitors on the budget
Posted: Thu Dec 07, 2017 11:47 am
Hello!
I'm new here. I couldn't find a post of this type, so I thought, lets start one!
Just got an URSA mini pro 4.6K and I would like to make a system for which I can use Da Vinci on high res/raw footage without too much pain and that can be used commercially.
My budget is around £2000 including PC and grading monitor, plus another monitor for scopes and daily use. It's not much I know. But I can find some independently costume made PCs that can save me some boobs.
My main question is: any suggestions for decent grading monitors around £500? Do I need 4K monitor in order for grade 4K footage or a good and balanced HD monitor would be good enough for 4K grading too?
Would I need an external video link card? Like a Blackmagic ones or can I live without?
Also welcome if you have any suggestions of graphic cards that you have used in combination with your 4.6K URSA footage.
Thanks!
Luca
