Hello fellow fans, I am the new owner of a Sony X1100ES UDP. I had it working well on my 20 year old CRT and it looks great but I still don't know what 4K UHD actually looks like. I have some scenery UHDs with HDR I would adore to watch properly. I have a small space for a new TV and was wondering how a video editing monitor would do for 4K? I would love a Sony Trimaster but it is, shall we say, "waaay" out of my price range. I wondered if something like this would give me the best picture possible in my price range: EIZOダイレクト|CS2740-X: カラーマネージメントモニター ColorEdge https://direct.eizo.co.jp/shop/g/gCS2740-X/Also Eizo do not sell the X model outside Japan(!) it is THE only 27 inch with HDR and 4K. I was thinking of importing one however the voltage listed on the site is 100v?? (I am in Australia, 240v) and would not really want to use a transformer with it. I thought essentially a computer monitor would be multi-voltage these days? Not Eizo? I had tried asking this on AVS Forums but I know that the true Video Guys are here, on LaserDisc Database. Thank you if you have any advice, thoughts or help, fellow fans. Thank you!

On another note I think it was Nissling and someone else who had pro monitors and made a topic, may want to check that posting out. You could also get an electrician to run a special line for that 100v in your house.

Is 350 nits bad? That's what this monitor apparently displays for HDR.. The short answer is that it'll be better than SDR but sub-par for HDR. You're looking at equipment that's geared for (and priced for) professionals, not movie-watchers. Lower peak brightness means lower possible dynamic range, which is the point of the format, and sure enough the advertised 1,000:1 contrast ratio for this display would count as mediocre for an HDR consumer TV.

My laptop has a 4K screen, but just because I can tell when something on it is running in 1080p doesn't mean that everyone can. Indeed. When iPhones moves from the original res to “retina” (4x as many pixels) the difference was absolutely massive, and this was with the original 3.5 screen and individual pixel elements that are invisible (actually) without a magnifying glass. A 27” monitor is several times the size, you’d have to be blind not to see the difference…unless you’re sitting fifty feet away from it like you do with a 70”. Is that what some are you imagining? That the OP is sitting on the opposite wall of a 1000 square foot room squinting at a TV so far away he can’t read subtitles? That’s probably not the situation, I think. My iMac is 4K and only 21.5” and for photography purposes, moving to that screen was the biggest upgrade since I bought an SLR. It’s night and day. You don’t need to zoom your pictures when editing anymore because they are almost native res now.

I have but a small home office to fill, with limited desk space. Has anyone a suggestion of the smallest HDR consumer television available?

I've had the opportunity to use an EIZO monitor for video editing, and the difference it made in my 4K HDR projects was substantial. EIZO monitors' colour accuracy and clarity are crucial for high-definition video editing. Alongside quality hardware, having the right editing software is equally important. While searching for a versatile yet affordable video editing tool, I found Movavi, a great free MP4 editor. My experience with Movavi has been very positive. It offers a wide range of editing features, catering to beginners and professionals. The user-friendly software makes tasks like cropping, rotating, and trimming videos straightforward and efficient. Combining a high-quality monitor like EIZO and an accessible, feature-rich software like Movavi can significantly elevate the quality of your video editing projects.
