Hi guys!
I've been starting to make some artistic, musical videos (at the moment, mainly of nature) which I'd like to post online (Youtube, Instagram, etc.). Apart from the editing the clips, I also want to color grade them.
Recording with iPhone XR with Filmic Pro (Probably upgrading next year to a BMPCC4K)
Editing on a Mac Mini 3,2 GHz i7 8GB RAM
eGPU is on its way (Asus XG Station Pro with Asus Radeon Arez Strix Vega56)
Apogee Element 46 Audio Interface
Software: DaVinci Resolve
I can't really figure out what would be a reasonable monitor to buy. I shoot in 4k and when grading I want the colors to be as accurate as possible, while still on budget. So I was thinking about the BenQ SW271 with an X-rite ColorMunki for calibration, which is already a bit above my budget, actually.
Now, I do read here and there, that for accurately monitoring the colors, I would also need to have an I/O box like the UltraStudio 4K. I just can't wrap my mind around the use of this thing and I see all kinds of inputs and outputs I don't feel I really need. But maybe I do.
So my questions are:
1. BenQ SW271 has 99% AdobeRGB, but do I really need that, while the standard for web is sRGB? Might it be a bit overkill for what I want?
2. Do I need to pay an extra 1000 for a video interface like the UltraStudio? Is it essential for color grading?
