Great video. Can you explain the difference between Digital Cinema (P3-DCI), Digital Cinema (P3-P65), and Apple Display (P3-600 nits). I use FCPX a lot and want to make sure my Studio Display is optimized for color correcting video footage. Thanks!

[@ArtIsRight]

P3 DCI white point is a generic Digital Cinema standard with a white point that sits at 6300K, P3-D65 specify the white point at 6500K, hence D65. Apple P3 is technically supposed to be Display P3 which the color gamut is slightly off from DCI-P3. And the 600 nits marks just tell you that the brightness for HDR will get mapped to 600 nits at peak brightness not 1600 nits XDR with 1000 nits sustained. For color grading footage I would recommend using the the reference mode. Since Apple Display regardless of option is more for content consumption not creation.

Thank you! Growing! But more subs would be nice too! :D

[@diego-esau]

Art, is there any chance that you can make a lesson on how to QA factory calibration for specific color profiles on displays? Say for instance, QA a display so as to know if it is representing Rec709 with accuracy from the factory.

[@ArtIsRight]

Can't with consumer software and not really well at all with free ware. You are looking at software solution from CalMan for you to do something like that. But then you need a PC / pattern generator to run the test to which you are running a synthetic on the display in away and sometimes it will show you the native panel gamut that can be quite large but not uses accessible on a daily use. So lot of complication here.

[@diego-esau]

@@ArtIsRight Oh, I understand that completely. I initially thought that DisplayCAL or similar software would offer us tools to perform QA with devices like the i1 display pro. Then it seems like if we wanted to work with a monitor's factory calibration, we would have to really trust the brand quality assurance, or otherwise do software or hardware calibration ourselves just to be sure. Thanks again. Your content is pretty helpful to my team: we use to struggle with color management.

[@ArtIsRight]

I am unable to comment on DisplayCal, you may be able to do that but I don't trust the result from it compared to the industrial standard options. Also I'm glad these help.

[@Biffco3000]

I love your channel. I’m about to receive my Apple Studio. Is there a calibration for high contrast black and white photography you’d recommend ? Thank you.

[@ArtIsRight]

Not anything specific just use reference mode a calibrate normally

[@andresvalo1984]

Thanks for the video, I work as a Radiologist, I wanted to ask you what configuration you recommend If I use my monitor seeing MRI and tomography images that are in grayscale, I would like to know how I can configure the monitor to have a better resolution and contrast.

[@ArtIsRight]

With this display not so much. There are some others that have specific DICOM mode. Default would be best, you can fine tune the settings such as gamma but that is about it

[@donovanbanks6663]

Thank you !!

[@ArtIsRight]

You're welcome!

[@andremora3492]

Thanks for the video. Regarding max luminance: On hover it says, "Range is [48-500]". Do you know if that scale corresponds with the Brightness slider? And do you know why that scale stops at 500 if the Studio Display is 600 nits?

[@ArtIsRight]

On these display because of the OS integrate, I would think that the slider is more linear than other display manufacturer. As far as why it stops at 500, my speculation would probably be that 600 nit is reserved for HDR tonal mapping.

[@christianbelanger]

Hi! I just received my brand new M2 MacBook Pro 16-Inch and my Studio Display. Compared to the MacBook Pro’s display, the Studio Display is too blue and too bright (even if I lower its brightness!). I actually like the warmth of the MacBook Pro, and I wish the Studio Display could be a little warmer as well. The displays are using their default settings: MacBook Pro: Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits) Studio Display: Apple Display (P3-600 nits) I turned True Tone off. It is really important to me that both displays look the same as much as possible (I know it’s not 100% possible, and that’s OK). I see the differences mainly when I'm on Safari or when I'm on the Finder with windows open; the big white windows show the warmth and brightness differences the most. However, when I open my photos in Photoshop, they seem almost identical on both screens. 🤷‍♂ If you have any thoughts, suggestions or ideas, I'm all ears! Thanks!

[@ArtIsRight]

I would start with reference mode on both, Fine tune calibration and let it be what it will be. You can try to do a proper calibration but that may or may not work for matching. These display uses a different type of backlight, one is PFS Phosphor via MiniLED arrangement. The other is just a backside diffusion of GB-LED on a 5K panel. Not to mention the LCD panel are different as well.

[@christianbelanger]

@@ArtIsRight Hi! Thanks for your reply! :D What is the reference mode exactly? Unfortunately, "Fine-Tune Calibration" is grayed out for all the presets. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks again!

[@ArtIsRight]

Should not be grayed out. This video explained what reference mode is. It is a fixed color mode for pro workflow.

[@ArtIsRight]

[@creativegreatsvisuals]

What about datacolorx2 ultra , elite or pro version ? How does this compare to calibrite ones ? It

[@ArtIsRight]

Let me say this: If you have a Spyder, it works. You don’t need to upgrade yet; keep using it. But if you are looking for a new one, on an engineering level, Calibrite is better in many ways, including heritage and lineage. TLDR Calibrite devices are powered by X-Rite, have better sensors, and run on a better color engine, Prism. In addition, X-Rite, in its history, took over a company called Graytag Macbeth, which has been known as the best company in color management for a long time. So much of their tech now is rooted in Graytag. Now price & engineering reason correlation. Calibrite devices like X-Rite have better sensors, and the software stores the spectral data necessary to calibrate the display. This means that as time passes, when new display tech emerges, Calibrite can release a software update that would accommodate for new display type, assuming that said new display can be measured reasonably by the current sensor tech. Spyder, however, stores this data on the device, and it is not user- -upgradable. So when a new display type comes out, that measurement sensor is obsolete or can’t calibrate the new display type anymore. Yes, Calibrite devices are a premium over Spyder, but they do last way longer; case in point, ColorChecker Display Pro is the same as i1Display Pro, which has been out for more than a decade already and it has continued to support newer display tech that has come on the market. In this time frame, Spyder has released 3 new devices already. So yes, even though their devices are cheaper, you would have to buy 2, if not 3, devices to calibrate newer display tech. As affordable as they may be, by the time you purchase the second one, it already costs more than a Calibrite Pro device. In addition, if you constantly update OS, Spyder has been known to drop new OS support on older devices. So many times you would have to buy a new device out of necessity too-lots to think about here.

[@ToskaJohn]

Great tutorial! I would like to edit videos in fcpx. Which Settings would you recommend? Thank you

[@ArtIsRight]

Either P3 or REC 709 depending on the gamut that you use but with FCP P3 will do just fine

[@andersphansson]

Great video! Read a swedish test and they wrote that SD only has 85% RGB and not recommended for photo editing and printing, is this true?

[@ArtIsRight]

What test, also RGB is generic, what specific RGB, sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc. I think what you are referring to is Adobe RGB and yes it is about 84-85% I covered this in my review kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqKriqaAebh-ja8 for photo editing, it can work. Printing less so. Have a look at my review through the link.

[@jbe1official]

I watched a couple of your videos today and immediately subscribed. Very informative! But I have an unanswered question for you, Sir. What is the recommended preset mode or starting point for editing or grading 4K video in Resolve or Premiere and what would be the recommended custom changes to be made? I hope you see this....

[@ArtIsRight]

Premier you can get away with Display P3, but if you use resolve as well, I would probably use REC 709. Gamma 2.4 or BT1886 which is an option, they are so close to each other. Other than that 80-120 nits of brightness based largely on your editing environment.

[@palmor99]

My problem with running scaled is that it impacts viewing photos in preview and in the browser (LR handles it well). Images will look soft so if you want to see what your photo will look like posted online you really can’t. Same thing for viewing other peoples photos on forums etc. Unless there’s a way I don’t know about to handle this? Because of this I run my 5k iMac at native resolution and plan to on my studio (if it ever gets here).

[@ArtIsRight]

Each person perceptions and viewing needs are different. But if that is what you need, then 5K display may not necessary be the most suitable for your needs, especially when running native. But if it works for you, then great.

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

Is this the same level of monitor support and control on the LG 24 Unltrafine monitor?

[@ArtIsRight]

Compared to that more.

[@timlevy1857]

Great video! Do you usually keep your screen on sRGB (L 100 custom) for photography content creation?

[@ArtIsRight]

For any serious / pro content creation, your screen brightness should always be at a fixed value and never change regardless of the environment, so yes I keep it lock at L100.

[@cmaciasjimenez]

This video is great. Thank you, Art. So to recap, for display photo editing (non critical work) we should use D65 sRGB L100? what about printing? the same but L50 as you say in the video? thank you so much

[@ArtIsRight]

You can use D50 but it is not necessary. The goal is for the white point of the display to match the color of the light. So with this said you can just keep the setting at D65 and what you have to do is get a 6500K light bulb to view the print and you are set.

HI ! I use Mac mini m2 pro with benq pd2500q monitor connected through the HDMI cable. can you please suggest what colour profile should I assign to my Mac and also what should I select in display pilot.

[@ArtIsRight]

16MBP P3 D65 - PD2700U sRGB or P3. And there's really no way to calibrate and get a good result without a calibrator.

[@Robinlan]

Is there a point of buying a 5k monitor and running it at 1440p?

[@ArtIsRight]

Yes HDDPI or retina display and most will do this because 5K native is tough on most human vision

[@_Steve_S]

Great video, but I have some questions: 1. Why would I limit my display's brightness? If I color grade a video with 100 Nits, wouldn't it all be blown out if someone watches it on a brighter display, e.g. a normal display with 350 Nits, or an iPhone Pro with over a 1000 Nits? 2. Why would I colorgrade my video with e.g. the BT.709 Preset, if most people would probably watch it on displays that are set to Apple P3 (Apple's standard setting)? I compared some of my videos with my display set to Apple P3 and BT.709 and the difference is enormous! According to Apple's support page, the BT.709 preset should be used for video editing, but I don't really understand why. If most people will watch it in P3, shouldn't I colorgrade it in P3?

[@ArtIsRight]

1. No miss conception, it will looks fine on others. 2. Can't assume P3 as delivery standard, because it is not yet. Everything is to the lowest common denominator until the standard change. For what you do personally, you can just do P3 if you like

[@ColorcodedNL]

Does the option-key scaling option exist for the Macbook Pro? Doesn't seem to appear for me.

I am getting a Studio display in a few weeks, usually work in Adobe rgb. Is there a preset for this in the Mac studio or the monitor software or is there a solution to this?

[@ArtIsRight]

No and if you want to see 99% Adobe RGB then I would choose another display. This one will only do about 84% Adobe RGB.

[@RoboMagician]

in some color grading softwares like davinci resolve, we need to choose gamma to match the studio display. if i want to use gamma 2.4 in davinci resolve, what is the equivalent value to set the value of sdr xxx in the profile to? (im not sure if this is where I should be adjusting it) thanks!

[@ArtIsRight]

SDR transferfunction = gamma, and if you want 2.4 type in 2.4. Better yet you can chose BT1886 which is a logarithmic curve that close to G2.4 but it is more preferred for video.

[@RoboMagician]

@@ArtIsRight correct me if wrong. but isnt maximum lumininance: SDR 120 (or any other value) where we should be adjusting the brightness/gamma? I thought the luminance and the gamma were the same thing. btw in the sdr transfer function, if I choose the bt 1886, the apply system gamma boost is automatically ticked with a value of 1.22, should I be adjusting anything if I want the gomma to have 2.4?

[@ArtIsRight]

Yes lots of misconception here, luminance and gamma are 2 distinctly different things that works in totally different ways. As it pertains to Apple Display with reference mode, SDR = gamma and you can choose a preset or type in a custom value. Luminance, at the bottom you can set it as bright as 1000 nits. That is the max that you can do. If you choose BT 1886, that is a preset value, don't change the SDR transfer function after.

hi art, the problem with the studio display, it always resets to the factory icc profile whenever we reboot or load up, is there a way that our own user-calibrated icc profile can be loaded back thru the colorsync utility everytime we boot up rather than manually doing it?

As someone who knows his stuff, could you recommend a basic and cheap monitor for those of us who do not want to buy the Studio Display. One that is compatible with the Mac Studio and will not put some kind of unnecessary load on the machine. I’m a writer and music creator with little to no interest in photography or video and want something simple and functional to go with a Mac Studio. Thanks in advance.

[@ArtIsRight]

A few thoughts, most monitors sold today are going to be compatible with Mac in general and by extension Mac Studio as long as you can get the input and out put cable to match the ports. Mac have not make display output proprietary by any means. As far as unnecessary load these machine can run multiple 6K displays, so anything less. that you put on it will be fine. For this I might look at BenQ PD display line, choose the size and resolution that best fits you. Or you can simply go with gaming or office displays as well. There are so many to choose from.

What is the difference, can I calibrate all my monitors with both 2 devices, I know that with the Studio version I can also have a printer, which would you recommend me to buy ?

You can calibrate any monitor with either of the devices and both will work with BenQ SW. This said if you need printing choose the studio if not the display plus. The studio is an entry device and the colors are only so good and you only have so much control but if you want to custom profile paper then that would be the one to consider.

Yes but you don't have control over the calibration aspect, you can do white point fine tune, can't choose back light tech, can't validate calibration. That is an entry level device. Does it work, yes, but not without a lot of compromises.

@@ArtIsRight Oh okay gotcha. The next few weeks are going to be exciting for me. I just ordered both the Samsung viewfinity S9 (basically a plastic version of the studio display) and I also ordered the studio display a few days before that. I got the S9 which is on sale for half the price, as a certified open box from Best Buy, saving even more money than the sale price. So I will have saved well over $1000. My plan is to cancel the studio display purchase or simply avoid opening the box and returning it. I’m thankful a global tech giant like Samsung, had the audacity to replicate a plastic version of apples overpriced monitor and give customers who don’t want to spend 2 grand on a screen a much MUCH more affordable alternative. Would I rather have the studio display? Totally. But is it really worth me spending another $1000+ when I can get a plastic version instead that looks EXACTLY THE SAME? Sure I will have to get a 3rd party app to control brightness and volume from the keyboard, but after that, I will be so relieved to have the extra money in my pocket. The 5K Samsung viewfinity s9 has just as stunning of a display and I think Samsung is very brave to design it the way they did, and obvious replica of the studio display. They are taking apples customers and giving them an identical solution for half the price. I really respect their bravery. I’m sure Apple took them to court over this obvious design rip off. But as the customer I’m happy. Now I have what looks to be apples overpriced elegant monitor, simply just made of plastic instead of metal. If they were the same price then this wouldn’t make sense. But Samsung keeps putting the S9 on sale repeatedly for half the price which is too good not to consider.

Hi Art, im new to Macs - so a question came up: You said Mac OS ALWAYS scales the entire OS, so if you pick not the native screen resolution, it will upscale this?
