Re: colour grading

[Laurence McDonald] "Is it better than no monitor?"

Well, no, not really.

TVs, especially modern ones, are full of all sorts of weird colour control electronics and AGC circuits. What you see is not what you get. Between the TV and your computer monitor neither version of what you see will be 'right' and both will be very different. Without a baseline reference from a trusted source it's more or less impossible to judge what's really happening in the picture.

Also the AGC in a TV presents a big problem in matching two shots, as the TV tries to do that itself, more or less fighting with your efforts in Color.

There is a benefit in having a TV you can watch your grade on, in that it will give you some idea of how a consumer TV may display your end product, but you can't make judgments and grading decisions (and you really don't want clients trying to).

A computer monitor, while often not accurate is at least generally consistent.
