| I’ve got dual dell 27” 4K’s and they are accurate enough, especially for the price. sRGB and 709 are basically the same color space, different gamma - 2.2 vs 2.4. easy enough to adjust. you can always try to calibrate a monitor to a specific color space and gamma. don’t waste your money on the low end data color spyders. I’d run GUI monitor in same color space as output. it makes life a lot simpler knowing you are working with the basic same look as your output target. if money is less an object I’d look at P3 / 2020 color space monitors with high brightness. I’m still trying to figure out what HDR *really* means vs the hype of what its supposed to be. same data range, just more brightness and better monitor gamma for more hi light rendition. seems to be a seriously moving target akin to cheap bad consumer CRT TVs vs a “broadcast” model in terms of what is a decent reference screen. FWIW i have an atomos sumo 19 for field use but I’ve been thinking about adding it to the editing setup. realistically I’d like to have something 42-55” instead...
