Now the first question I need to resolve, is do I get just a monitor by itself (such as one of the SmallHD monitors) or get a combined monitor/recorder (such as from Atomos).

Currently my situation is I'm using a Nikon D5200 plus a BMPCC that has just arrived with future upgrading plans of maybe perhaps getting a Panasonic GH4 in a few months from now. (slim possibility it might be instead a Sony A7S, or even a Samsung NX1. Could even be something that hasn't be released yet! I'm in no rush, I'll wait and see) So whatever I'm picking should be suited for what I've got now (& in the near future).

Am thinking I've narrowed down my decision to Ninja Blade vs Ninja 2.

I'm leaning towards getting the Atomos Ninja Blade (it is worth it over the cheaper Ninja 2???), for a few reasons (let me know if they're good reasons or not! I'm just presuming here): a) I'm thinking using SSDs could be better than SD cards in the BMPCC (though not being able to record CinemaDNG raw to SSD is a pity) b) having the ability to tag good/bad takes on set with AtomosOS seems like it could be a big time saver when doing rush edits. c) no time recording limit with the Nikon D5200 (if I got just a monitor, I expect I'd then get a Blackmagic Design: HyperDeck Shuttle as well. Well, or maybe maybe wait a few months to see if NikonHacker removes the recording time limit on the D5200)

But on the flip side the Ninja 2 is significantly cheaper.... so I wonder, is the older Ninja 2's screen satisfactory for pulling focus or is the Blade's high resolution screen going to be a huge bonus here?

Probably the biggest point of confusion I have between the two is how the Ninja Blade and Ninja 2 run different version of Atomos OS (with the Blade having the newer version of course), as I can't seem to clearly find any info on what specifically is the benefits of that. (such as around workflow around tagging clips on set and then in post)

Thoughts/criticism/suggestions? I'm all ears!

I picked up a GTX 980 (reference model, EVGA) and although I am able to get 60Hz output on Samsung HU8550 by enabling UHD Color Mode it does not appear to be 4:4:4 (Full RGB) as there is noticeable fringing on text.

In the 60 Hz photo, you can see some yellow fringing on the edges of text. In 30Hz, the text is a solid color throughout and appears just as it does on my monitor.

https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/777438/geforce-900-series/gtx-980-and-samsung-4k-tv-hu8550-60hz-works-but-not-getting-4-4-4-full-rgb-output/

I need some help please: I'm between 2 monitors for video editing:

• Dell U2711, &,

• Asus PB278Q.

If anyone has experience from both monitors, so he has a more accurate knowledge on both of them, I will really appreciate his opinion. Anyone has a suggestion on one of them (with facts of course), I will really appreciate all opinions.

Also, I will may need a monitor calibrator, a cheap solution is preferred, so opinions/advices onto this too please.

Thanks in advance,

Kind Regards,

Ioannis.

You always pay for any time saved.

If you want to save your time you'll pay more or get less optimal parts. So, unfortunately, perfection requires some of your time.

Main terms used:

• Local store - mean local specialized computer store, usually not very big.
• Big offline store - some network store that sometimes have something useful, rare thing, but happens.
• Big online store - something like Amazon or Newegg.
• Online seller - ebay sellers or small online store.
• Manufacturer store - some manufacturers have their own online store, can be savior for specialized items.

• Tightly regulated - items that have their price closely watched by manufacturer.
• Regulated - items that have their price watched by manufacturer, but with some discounters and periodic sales.
• Not regulated - price of this items can vary significantly, sales happen with small pauses.
• Competitive - big price changes can happen, usually common for marked with fast progress and big competition (like SSDs now).

Let's focus on all main parts described in first post.

General parts:

• Keyboard. As you'll be up to high end keyboards you usually are best to look for them online, including manufacturers store. Some of them are available in local or big offline stores, bit it is not common. Kind - regulated.
• Mouse. If you want to save and get good mouse usually best way is some online seller offering officially refurbished items. Check ebay and such. Kind - from regulated to non regulated.
• Case. Very rarely good case suitable for our task is available offline (only if you have really good local seller), first determinate suitable models (check upcoming part on cases) and later just scan online offers. Note that good case is big and weight a ton, so remember about delivery costs. Kind - from tightly regulated to non regulated (depends on manufacturer).
• Fans. Check local store, just note that fans are the items where they can have big margins. Otherwise order online. Kind - from tightly regulated to non regulated (depends on manufacturer).
• CPU Cooler. Good coolers are not very hard to get. You can start at local store in parallel checking online prices. Can be high marginal item, so always check prices of competition. Kind - from tightly regulated to non regulated (depends on manufacturer).

Power stuff:

• Power supply. Remember that good PSU can also have significant weight, so remember to account for delivery. Usually online prices are best, but good local shops are competitive. Kind - regulated.

Storage:

• SSD. Only best local shops can compete with online here as progress is slightly too fast for them, frequently they have old overpriced stuff. Kind - competitive.
• HDD. Progress is very slow lately. Competition is down to two companies who seems to have some kind of price agreement. Prices in your local shop can be even lower than online, also note that badly packed HDD can be damaged during shipping. Check sales in big offline and online stores. Kind - from tightly regulated to regulated.

PC components itself:

• Motherboard. Usually your local shop can be good option here (except for newest stuff). As sometimes compatibility or initial BIOS issues can happen it can save your time for getting exchange. Some of local shops can be full of outdated stuff. If you fully aware of that you need you can use any of online sellers (usually big ones have lower prices). Kind - regulated.
• Memory. Memory prices are quite volatile and it seems that big manufacturers constantly make some agreements to keep margins. Due to volatility offline local stores or big stores can sometimes have best offers. Also some online sellers can have good offers. Kind - regulated.
• Graphics card - GPU. Both main GPU chips manufacturers do everything to keep their margins, especially for top cards. Usually best prices happen in big online stores or in online sellers specializing on refurbished items. Kind - from tightly regulated (newest top cards) to regulated (older or cheaper things).
• CPU. Intel do everything to keep margins. For top processors they try not to allow any sales (one of the methods used - minimizing sellers margin). Also price drops rarely happen even on old top CPUs. Check local shops and big online sellers. Usually difference will be very small. Kind - from tightly regulated (top CPUs) to regulated (lower end stuff).

Next part will be about cases, setting priorities and building principles.

Provide you input, if you agree/ do not agree with something.

Most retail PC configurations sucks.

I am serious. Look only on top of the range, as below you can find such strange things like top CPU, little memory, horrible or even lack of GPU all of this paired with small slow HDD, all in blinking red-blue case. Such monsters come to life due to simple fact - it is also business. Every company is interested to throw maximum of junk and sell it for highest price possible.

Common things that sucks the most in every retail PC

General parts:

• Keyboard. Keyboards on all retail PCs are just horrible, usually it is $5-10 crap with modern design. 98% of them use cheap membrane approach, 2% left use scissors like on good notes. Both you do not want. Check part about input devices to get an idea that is made for real work.
• Mouse. Same shit. Not so bad as with keyboard, but it is usually cheap small wired or wireless mouse. Mouse is one of three main things (other being keyboard and monitor), so do not save on it. Good mouse for you must be good for your palm size, must be made by reputable firm, and must be produced for quote long time to see the issues. Usually none of this is true for cheap mice.
• Case. Exceptions happen here, but they are all in red book. Companies throw plastics rich "games" cases or ultra thin, bad steel cases. You do not need it, it is DOA products. They look cool and works only for people with severe brain damage and heavy drug use. Bad case won't allow you to install top GPU, will be noisy and will eat dust by kilos. It also usually hard to add things and have limits on HDDs you can install (preferably with good cooling).
• Fans. Usually it is two extremes - one fan in more entry models, and up to 8 in the "gamers" editions. All of them are pure junk usually, even one that with work more or less tolerable noise will start to die in a year or two.
• CPU Cooler. Around 90-95% of retail PCs use bad coolers (or stock ones), they are fine if PC is under no or light load, but as soon as you start heavy editing, grading, encoding, it'll be real mess. Some top configurations can use good ones, but it is rare thing and you usually pay big premium for this.

Power stuff:

• Power supply. Most retail PCs come with default supply that came with case they use. Usually it is real shit. Inefficient, with inflated power ratings. Few manufacturers make quote good cheap PSUs, but it usually do not come together with low noise and efficiency. To be short - you'll get underspecced, noisy and inefficient PSU.

Storage

• SSD. While they dropped significantly, that are still too costly for mainstream retail PCs. And you really need at least one SSD as disk for your OS.
• HDD. Most common size in retail PC is 500GB, all else usually go with 1TB. It is just waste of your money. As you need lot of space. For backup and general storage it is good idea to use slightly below the top sizes (now it is 2-3-4TB) as they are economically more interesting. We'll go in details in corresponding part.

Now we go to the PC components itself:

• Motherboard. Many retail companies not only install cheapest MBs that manufacturers have in their line, they can even order special custom versions with reduced price (and some removed ports, PCI or PCI-E slots). Only in top gamers PCs you can usually see more or less good motherboards. Manufacturer can also use MB without slot for second or third video cards (yes, they are useful for grading).
  Remember - with motherboard now also comes sound part and network chip. Cheap MBs like to cut on this.
• Memory. Memory are usually not extra important if you are not doing heavy rendering or encoding all day. But companies try to save here also. You can find cheapest DIMMS, with worst parameters, with no memory heatsinks.
• Graphics card - GPU. It is not so bad now, as middle to top class GPUs can be seen in retail PCs (most are still sold with entry GPUs somehow claiming that it is "for games"). But no one will select for you card with best cooling system and with better clocks. If you are not gaming usually you do not need top GPU, just middle NVidia one (AMD support is growing also) with lot of memory (DaVinci likes GPU memory and more GPUs).
• CPU. Just ignore anything except top of the i5 and i7 lines for mainstream (now it is 1150 socket) and enthusiasts (2011 socket), including all AMD chips (they are cheaper, but you later pay it out in electricity bills :-) ). Usually it is models with K in the end (overclocking ready). Retail companies like to use one year old CPUs, and all the range, starting from Celerons (so consultants can push something with people with any amount of money).

Next part will be about places for getting stuff.

But I am also looking to save some money. I am quite out of the loop when it comes to hardware.

What's adequate for my needs? What kind of money can I expect to drop? Can I possibly build a machine for ~$600 (not including monitor, keyboard, etc.)

The most intensive tasks I would expect to be doing besides actual ingesting/cutting of footage would be some motion graphics, as well as Color Correction, and extensive use of Adobe's Warp Stabilization tools in AE/Premiere.

Thanks!

If you don't already know, Cherry MX keyboards are some of the best out there, and are quite popular. I just picked up a Monoprice keyboard with Cherry MX Blues onboard and I'm already loving it. There seems to be a plethora of options for replacement keys (the plastic switch toppers themselves), but I have yet to find a set (or even decals) for Final Cut shortcuts.

Two questions:

1. Does anyone know somewhere I could get a set of FCP shortcut replacement keys,

Or

1. If I can find a place that can make some, would anyone else be interested in a set? ( I've found several companies that make very nice keys, but they have minimum-number order requirements).

Installing Windows on the tablet will remove the Android software, of course.

Update 1: We had lots of fun today with this set. 4K and higher res Medium Format Photos look very good on the panel, as well as HD sources. Looks like a good inexpensive option for a UHDTV Computer Monitor. It is a basic panel, has inexpensive audio, two USB ports support playback of music and photos (Sorry, no video via USB). It has a scaler to fit height or width, and appears to give you back what you feed it... Garbage in/garbage out, etc.

BIGGEST PERK: IT'S PORTABLE!! Yes, it's slim and light enough for 1 person to move around. So far, it is an absolute steal at $1299 for April 2013...

You need to feed it an UHDTV signal over HDMI to get "4K" display of video. We have not had a chance to calibrate it yet, but it does look like a typical LED display, however with 4K resolution. Moving onto video display at UHDTV resolution next rounds...

UPDATE 2. I attached the 3840x2160 at 30Hz setting photo with one of my favorite websites while showing the Prometheus landed (c) 20th Century Fox, in the center top. NOTE the DVD size in relation to the entire screen. 4 of those little rectangles is HD. Cheapest setup possible- AMD 7970 and single HDMI cable on WIndows XP... Who needs displayport or HDMI 2 or thuinderbolt, when HDMI 1.4a will do for film and photo editing today at this low cost?

CONCLUSION: the SEIKI 50" SE50UY04 is a winner for lowest cost UHDTV Video/Computer Display in April 2013! A great achievement, and I strongly recommend an extended warranty with any new technology like this.
