Let me know what you think. Also in the market. May actually grab an = FSI reference monitor too, since I've been doing more color and online = finishing. Really hurt on my last project not having something with broadca= st specs.

What's the opinion on getting a 1080p vs 4= K? Since I'm using it for color but can do QA on a 4K LCD, is there any= reason to get a 4K reference monitor? Prices jump a fair amount

The trend to 4k has definitely reached my mi= d-level marketing video-driven post business.
Current project load is s= omething like this:

Source footage: 50% 1080p, 50%= 3.2k or 4k (or higher)

Finished deliverables: 80%= 1080p, 20% 4k
