Jack says in part . . .
on spending a lot more money than a calibrated OLED 4K television for UHD 30fps.A. Calibrated how? I have a Datacolor SpyderX Pro . . . is this suitable? I'm all ears!
B. What other ways come to mind for program-out than via an UltraStudio 4K Mini to TV?. . . the larger point being I don't want to find myself sad because just a bit more foresight (or experience) would have seen me sidestepping the UltraStudio 4K Mini approach, for another.

Ellory, you wrote in part . . .
about drives and for cache using 2 SSD in a Raid 0.Regarding the drives . . .A. System drive (C:) - here's the thing, I haven't bought the
system drive (Windows C:) because a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB 2.5 Inch SATA III new in box but am I going to be better off buying another NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD for optimal performance? Is 500GB or 1TB plenty?
The mobo I purchased accepts three M.2 drives, one direct to the CPU via PCIe 4.0 x16, and the other two to the X570 chipset at x8. So going to an M.2 for the system drive is smarter, agreed?
Computer nerd input greatly appreciated.Anyway, I would think 512GB is ample for the system and apps (C: drive), of which there are just a few creation types, e.g. Resolve, Photoshop, Illustrator, Solidworks, and what not. And if not 512GB, then ITB is surely ample - agreed, also?
B. Cache drive (D:), for this purpose I purchased two 2TB PCIe4 NVMe M.2 drives planning to follow Ellory's advice and having them in RAID 0, e.g. total capacity 2TB. The pair should be fast and voluminous enough for pretty much anything, or are there nevertheless tings, which will bring playback to a stuttering mess despite this? I'm not 100% regarding if Resolve does rendering and playback from the cache drive whilst pulling uncorrected media files from an array or other media-dedicated drive. And FWIW, I haven't been sitting on my axx waiting for help but have been digging around. For example, is this information still valid? Dates back a few years, but . . .
viewtopic.php?t=56187C. Media drives - speaking of these, I'm undecided but right now I'm thinking instead of a Synology disk array composed of rotating 7500rpm drives, to maybe just get a BMD Multidock 10G which accepts four SSD for this purpose . . . or am missing something about using a separate array for media? Experience will resolve all my questions but I'm not there as I've not so much as assembled the new edit bay yet so guidance is very humbly appreciated.
D. Resolve Studio - finally, other than with their cameras, does anybody know whether the Resolve Studio is included with any of their other products, which I intend on purchasing? E.g. their keyboard, an UltraStudio 4K Mini (or similar), or perhaps the Console, which has also been recommended?
Last thing; I was just reflecting with my wife how my editing has changed from 3-deck suite (2 playback decks to an edit deck all synchronized with pre-roll to get everything spot on for the edit) using Matrox Studio card within a PC, to my first NLE, a FAST Video machine, before moving to Sony's Vegas, and now to Resolve Studio . . . I'm closing on 30 years of this! While the vast majority of what I plan to be outputting is 1080p60 footage for upload to YouTube, because the cameras are 4K RAW capable and will record 240fps in bursts, then who knows what I'll be inputting to Resolve? Not me! Anyway, I'm new to Resolve but I'm still having fun and nowhere near ready to be planted!

Many thanks for the help, guidance, and advice!
