4K LCD screen

[Olivier Gresse]

What is the best 4k LCD screen to edit images of the Epic-w at this time?

Thanks

The Sony BVM-X300 is pretty good. I believe they're around $30K, though it's OLED and not LCD:

If it's just for editing, I would look at the LG E6 OLED's. When they're calibrated (which may require the use of an external LUT box), they can look surprisingly reasonable, particularly for a 55" display.

Note that many, many editors find it faster and more convenient to edit with low-res proxy files rather than 4K files due to machine lag and hardware requirements. Once you've locked the edit, you can always go in and conform from the 4K (or higher res) originals and use those for final color in post.

I agree with Marc. Proxy editing was intimidating and seemed counter productive at first, but it's actually pretty easy. On smaller projects I've been editing natively more and more, but on large ones with lots of footage, I still feel it's much easier to work with Prores LT 1080p files.

Just got mine (B6 55" version) setup a few nights ago... only used it as a TV so far but watched an NFL game on it and was impressed by the color rendition of the uniforms, right out of the box.
