I spent 14 years as a colorist in Los Angeles before moving to freelance work, and I have learned one truth the hard way: your monitor determines whether your grade translates correctly to the final delivery. When Panasonic released the S1II with its 6K sensor, I realized my 4K reference monitor could not display footage […]

Working from coffee shops and airport lounges got a whole lot easier when I discovered portable USB-C monitors.
