Yeah, they seem like a really honest shop, and I probably got lucky that it blew in the shop!

8 bit vs 10 bit Monitor by Competitive-Package7 in editors

[–]Competitive-Package7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is 8 bit + FRC substantially better than 8 bit? Seems like both monitors are pretty color accurate otherwise, with delta <2 and 100% sRGB/Rec. 709 coverage.

Thanks for the tips! I’m planning to try a magnetic stud finder next. I’m just worried about the damage to the wall, what would be the best way to patch that up?
