4K Monitor

[Harry Nicholson]

Interested to know what 4K monitor fellow members use to view and edit Inspire 1 footage?
I have just received delivery of a Samsung U28D590DS 4K 28" Ultra HD LED and I'm using it with my Macbook Pro 15" Retina Mid 2014 via HDMI at present.
Awaiting delivery of a Mini display port to display port 1.2 cable as the HDMI cable cant handle as high frame rate as display port 1.2.
Im very happy with colours and clarity via HDMI, but display 1.2 should greatly improve output.
What display do you use to edit video took on bird and do we all use Final Cut Pro?

New Mac Pro?

 

[Michael Dicker]

No, the old model.
2 x 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (lots of Ram because it helps alot)
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB

 

[Harry Nicholson]

LED Cinemas?
You not fancy a true 4K monitor to view your epic bird footage?
Cinemas are lovely I also have one, but just can't cut it when you want high frame rate output

Still a very good unit, i repair very little of them, a good thing

I have to confess i do not shot or cut in 4k.
All the TV stations use only 1080p/i so i dont need it.

 

[Michael Dicker]

To confess even more, its the early 2008 Model :/


...realizing its an almost 8 year old model

There still a stunning machine, i love the build quality, its been a fantastic design since the original G5 tower was introduced, thus it being like that for years

But the new MacPro is something else

Been looking at a 3rd party PCIe SSD that will cold boot in 3 seconds to working desktop, EPIC it's pricey though

 

[Harry Nicholson]

The (my) Mac Pro is a maxed out Editing Suite which cost quite alot and has to work for its money for as long
as possible.

 

[Harry Nicholson]

RAM?
You got solid state drives in that bad lad?

Oh and that's a 2014 Retina MBP next to it (not connected to it though)

 

[Harry Nicholson]

very nice! very nice! i was going to get a TV but it just can't handle frame rate, thus the purchase of 4K 60 frame rate monitor
thats still an ace setup!!!
