Re: [Avid-L2] New Dolby Monitor is super bright

 

I think some may of missed the gist of the linked article.  If I read it correctly, Dolby wants to have a standard that allows contrast ratios, gamut, color levels, etc,  higher than rec 709.  I'm all in favor of a higher quality standard... But Prefer that Dolby doesn't own it or get a license fee from it.  

As for your specific question, Don't you always want to work at a higher standard than the presentation standard, But double check it on a crappy monitor.  Like audio- mix on the good speakers, check it on the shit speakers.

So back in the day when we had the Ikegami CRT monitors that nobody had at home was that too much?  I guess the point is if the Dolby display technology isn't representative of the home viewer's TV is it pointless.  I think in general if a grading monitor is accurately representing the image then there is a point.  If other monitors have inferior image quality that's on them.  It seemed that grading on a CRT was still valid when LCDs came along.  As long as I can be consistent in my grade and accurate with a scope and a monitor that reliably displays the content I think advanced display technology is an asset.  Of course if the cost is way out of the ball park then from a business stand point it may not make sense.  I'm happy with my Sony OLED and it's price point but if someone wanted to buy me a Dolby monitor I'd give it a whirl.

What do other's think about grading on a monitor that is more typical of what the consumer will use?  This also falls into the area of is it important to check video on a CRT to make sure newer monitors aren't masking things like interlace issues.  I'd appreciate what other people's views are on this.
