Red users now getting 4K monitors , some implications ?

[Les Dittert]

It is now possible to get a 50" UHD (4k) TV/monitor for $1200 or so. Mine comes tomorrow.
So now many of us will be seeing the whole 4K picture at the same time on a routine basis or perhaps for the first time ever.

I believe this may change things for a number of possible reasons:

Realizing that for 4K you should hold shots a bit longer to give the viewer more time to 'absorb' the scene.
Understanding that Rec 709 is not the same as the 4K Rec 2020 color. ( if these cheapo monitors even do rec 2020 .... )
Disappointment that some material may look no better in 4K because of technical limitations when it was shot.:embarassed:
Learning that focus is now trickier than ever!

Time to learn!

Dmitry ,
What's your point, bro ?

His point was that he wanted to be on a reduser holiday for a few days.

I am not sure BT.2020 will stick, at least in terms of gamut. One very valid concern is that displays with a gamut that wide will not correctly remap when playing 709 or SMPTE C content. Sadly, as we keep moving up in resolution, we keep making the same mistakes over again.

Realizing that for 4K you should hold shots a bit longer to give the viewer more time to 'absorb' the scene.

Applies to 3D as well.
