Next advantage of Samsung MU series as monitors - flicker
It also means that TV can require recalibration in no flicker zone as spectrum of leds usually change such way.
It is for deals topic, not for this one. Too big thing.
Samsung QLED Q6F series now on sale, up to $500 off.
(The breakout box plays most media files from USB ports.. H.264, HEVC, camera footage from Lumix, Z-cam E1 etc.)
RTINGS REVIEW:
The Samsung Q6F 55 is effective at removing Judder from 24p content from all sources, including when sent in a 60 fps signal from a cable box. This is different from the other Samsung QLED TVs we have reviewed this year like the Q7FN and Q9FN.

This thing is better than Spider. And affordable, will work for you long years.
Just wait for next deal.
@DrDave Spider colorimeter is too expensive to me, a no-where-on the road-to the pro. Wished have other way
I just used my Spider colorimeter, set the TV to cool and turned the backlight down one click. Lowered the sharpening. Ran the colorimeter software. I think some ppl prefer other colorimeters but I'm not buying another one as I have several already.
White point outside of monitor land--that is, using it as a TV--looks like a PITA but I'm just using it as a monitor.
@vk should add my old pc: 32 gb ram on i3770k. Save money for a latest but affordable built was that i mean “ waste of money “. -;). But now I am happy with the new monitor and new gtx 1060 as suggested, nice and smoother, no more white things on screen with premiere.
@DrDave Can you share here how to calibrate this monitor for edititng?
@Mark041 darn, you are right, the mouse is much better at 60Hz. Go figure.
So I'm using the $10 displayport to HDMI no issues so far with my older 780 ti. It does 60/4.4.4
May get another card at some point but the 780 has a lot of CUDA cores.
The colorimeter tells the computer the formula for the best red possible for a given monitor.
Actually colorimeter has same sensitivity curves as your eye :-)
and if you use a colorimeter on two monitors, the colors will look slightly different.
If they are different it'll show you how.
vision is stereoscopic, so at a minimum you would need two colorimeters
No, you don't.
If you look at a monitor at a slight angle, the color shifts.
True. OLED and IPS are best in this regard, PVA is worse and TN is much worse.
and check PM.
The colorimeter tells the computer the formula for the best red possible for a given monitor. But some monitors have a better, more juicy, more organic red than others. If you take two cameras and white balance them, the video will still look different, and if you use a colorimeter on two monitors, the colors will look slightly different.
I'm not an expert on color science, but vision is stereoscopic, so at a minimum you would need two colorimeters, or software that uses the same colorimeter twice, to even come close to eye perception. But the colorimeter is just designed to measure what comes out of the monitor perpendicular to the surface--that's the color we never see.
If you look at a monitor at a slight angle, the color shifts.
The reason I mention the slight orangey tint is that it can affect your skin tones in grading.
That's true, but I can still tell an orange from a tomato :)
Your colorimeter must be also able to tell you this.
@Vitaliy That's true, but I can still tell an orange from a tomato :)
Well, you can measure your other monitors.
But in reality it is lot of things that can affect your colors perceptions, even TV frame color or changed position or fact that you have less wall visible now.
DrDave If the mouse is slow, are you sure you have 60Hz? I used to have a 30Hz 4K monitor, and the mouse was slow to move. But not with my current 60Hz 4K monitor (attached to 1050 Ti).
