best type of monitor for da vinci resolve

can you tell me what is the best type of monitor for video editing with da vinci resolve? Only one UltraWide 34 inch 21:9 Curved Monitor, or better 2 monitors 24 inch 16:9?
Thank you Mauro

I use 2 x 27" monitors. Which is great because you can go Clean Feed out on one of them and see your video image fullscreen, or else you can expand the GUI across two monitors if you prefer. One is a Samsung LS27A800U IPS UHD and the other is a HP ZR2740W also IPS from years ago. Running on an M1 MAX 32 GPU 16"

Thank you for your reply. Hello Mauro

"Best" is very subjective. What do you want to do with it? A professional may want something like a Sony BVM-HX310 at about $30,000 to see things exactly as they are. A separate interface is also required for best accuracy.

I've found some performance issues with dual monitors that BMD has duplicated and hopefully will be working on.

There are a lot of fairly priced IPS screens that are in the range of more than 80% DCI-P3 and about 100% REC709 color gamuts available. A non professional might be satisfied with one or more of those. I have a couple and also do remote editing on a decent laptop screen. There are plenty of those available too. 4k is much better for the GUI than a 1080p monitor. Note, I am not a professional, at least in the editing / colorist business.

Thank you for your replay. I'm not a professional, just an enthusiast. Now I use a 27" I-mac, but sometimes I need more space to work better with more windows open.
Hello Mauro

For non-calibrated color monitors I use a pair of LG 5K 27" monitors.

I thank you for the answer. Hello Mauro

Hey, we got a quote from Sony Broadcast for $22,000, but that's in America.

We also use 2 x 27" displays for Resolve GUI, set to 2550x1440. But I'm not a fan of Clean Feed at all, at least for judging color. I think the o.p. would be a lot wiser to buy a Blackmagic display adapter (like an UltraStudio), then hook that up to an affordable calibrated color display like an LG OLED.

thanks to all of you for the replies. Mauro

In my opinion are 2 monitors important. To see the clean feed on a seperate monitor in full screen was a hughe improvement for me. Dont know if it's studio version only.

Thank you Thomas.

They finally understood they couldn't sell the same panel as the Eizo CG3146 for $10,000 extra cost

Not being a Professional, I can't see how much the really cost! Still way out of my price range.

In regards to a commercial OLED TV, I'm still waiting to see actual measurements of the new LG G3 (WRGB MLA panel) vs the new Samsung and Sonys (QD-OLED panel) in terms of brightness and gamut, including gamut at high brightness. Past reviews have stated you have to be careful to select the right options to get more accurate tone mapping.

I have a cheap LG "HDR" tv and it is almost uncalibratable. Even if you turn all the automatic stuff off it still changes the overall brightness of the screen based on whatever, so calibration using color patches is not repeatable, depending on what else is on the screen and how big the patches are. The commercial TVs go for "looks good to an untrained eye" rather than "most accurate".

My IPS monitors, while not the best color gamut, were very stable and calibratable, once I realized that the gain controls can't be turned up or they crush the highlights, only down, to get the correct white point.

Pricing of those monitors is always "made up", based on what competition charges and how far clients are willing to go. If you have no competition then you can charge more. This was the case for X300 as at that time there was no other HDR professional panel available. Panasonic's panel changed it, but now we are back to times, when there is no good panel out there (not even a single one).
I still think Eizo has the best electronics.

24-bit internal LUT

I don't care for the way Windows does Extended View, so I prefer a single 32" UHD monitor for the GUI.

They used 16bit years ago, when other companies were still at 10-12bit.
With HDR they moved to 24bit where others are still use 12-16.

They just never looked much into video world ( except one attempt which failed).
