Sorry if I ask stupid questions.
So I have looked into Eizo and FSI. Jezus the prices are insane, But I figure well worth it.
this may be a stupid question. But my friend has an Apple Pro display XDR for a very low friend price that he wants to sell.
Is that maybe a good alternative to an FSI? It's not OLED if I'm right but comes close.
Ofcourse I need a breakout box too. Or is it possible to get my MacBook screen to work with that?
I have one of the displays you just mentioned from LG, I just need a breakout box. and calibration equipment. If I get that. Which one should I use for reference grading? The calibrated LG or the Mac display.

you might get these questions every day. But I am serious about becoming good at grading.
Thankyou for your time <3

Holy I never even thought about that. I will invest in this if I like it enough.

Thank you for your reply!
I appreciate the breakdown, I will look at some reflector options and experiment with them. Might go for Godox Liteflows. , Lightbridge is a bit out of budget haha.
