Re: Setting up HP DreamColor LP2480zx monitor for work in Color

Don't use a computer display to judge the color of RED or Video. It needs to be a broadcast video monitor. You could add an MXO to the mix here, but it won't play back RED 2k, it will however stop on a frame to see it, still... a broadcast monitor is the real deal, with a Kona 3 card in the mix. That display you have is really wonderful for print work, but none of them are really right for RED or video.

The problem lies in the gamma response on all computer displays. It just doesn't match what is displayed on a TV set or video monitor. Course if you're footage is destined only for the web... but I figure it's not, right?
