| Well, I got one of the cheap ($1200) Chinese Seiki 50" UHD TVs - first unit was bad. Little tricky to get it to work as a desktop monitor but replacement is up and running. Let me just say, I think 4K, both as a display and as a TV is underrated. I'm much more blown away then I expected to be. Since much of what I work on is 4K and greater, it makes a dramatic difference in evaluating frames and shots.

But even a pass with a WOW disk and blue filter gives decent results. Not a grading monitor for critical client grades but not a piece of crap either. Cost savings seem to come from basic Chinese TV build quality, crappy audio, bare bones menus, no feature set beyond TV, tuner and standard inputs. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ http://www.sv2dcp.com/ http://www.sv2studios.com/ A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. -Stanley Kubrick |
