10-bit 4K monitor

Any worth considering under $1000? Preferably lower? Or should we wait a tick...?

I'd like something kinda small, like 32" or below, great on power consumption (LED?) and the ability to be accurate, no hype.

Sound like you made some good money and now start buying... ;)

I was looking at sub $1,000 4k monitors as well but the reviews aren't overly encouraging as all seem to be compromised in some way. But they are the first wave of cheaper 4k monitors so I guess that is to be expected. Then you have the problem in my case of updating the video card to support the higher resolution. Think I will wait a while to things progress a little.

I would say wait. There are not even good Full HD monitors yet under 1000. I was looking for the new HP Dreamcolor monitors but the first batch were disastrous.

Fact and our problem is, how to control the quality of our 4k videos, especially after image stabilisation which zooms the resolution a little bit. With a HD monitor it always looks well, but how to see exactly what we sell?

<<<but how to see exactly what we sell?>>

This is a good question and one I've wondered about.

In stills the answer is to enlarge to 100% on the screen in say Photoshop.Then you have one pixel of the image being displayed by one pixel of the monitor. I know this isn't the whole picture (pun not intended) but it gives a really good idea of the quality even though the "actual" output size is about 25% and so the "used" image at full size will be a better quality than that seen at 100% on the monitor.

So how is it with video? Presumably it's the same - is that correct? When I have my clips at 100% in Prem Pro it looks awful to my eyes! (At least at 100% you can see if there's any anti-aliasing or moire as this often shows falsely at "fit size" as the monitor has to divide image pixels "unevenly" into the monitor resolution)

That's a great tip! After image stabilisation my editor allows me to export a single frame whereever in the video i want to check. This is in original resolution and with an image viewer i can open it in 1:1. If i think right, the quarter which i see on my HD monitor shows me exactly the same quality like the full screen of a 4k monitor.

Indeed, I find using After Effects at 100% to check things, but the AE preview is always a little less than actual anyway, and is annoying to be looking at a quarter of the frame. Color Finesse looks much better (on separate monitor) for edges, noise, aliasing, etc.

But I will wait for monitor buying time. I am not so rich, no, but wanted to improve on the current situation with quality control in mind.

Is viewing at 100% really the same as seeing 4K? What about the difference in pixel size between 4K and HD?

When viewing in 100% (1:1) you must imagine you your 4k monitor has 2x more wide and 2x more height, but on your desktop stands only a quarter of this.
