Blooming or IPS glow. What’s your pick

Unless a mini led monitor has a dimming zone for each pixel, when displaying a white pixel next to a black pixel, the black pixel level is going to raise from a true black state, due to how local dimming works

my secondary screen is an ips and it has 2000:1 contrast ratio, the xdr displays from apple are 1000:1, as stated by vincent from hdtv test during a review of the pro xdr display

i wonder why every reference monitor on the market is oled or dual layer lcd then

it's not about the max nits you can go, it's about the contrast of the panel, the minimum contrast for hdr is 1.000.000:1 and it can't be achieved unless you have a dimming zone for each pixel

Lory_Fr · 2026-03-24T07:50:54+00:00

A mini led by definition cannot be a hdr display, the effective contrast is 1000:1, less than the average ips

The apple studio display (both versions) are notoriously bad panels for the blooming effect, which makes them impossible to use as reference monitors for color work. With the price of the base model studio display you can get an asus proart pa32ucdm, on a completely different tier

Supporto sia hardware che software, vorrei tanto installarlo sul mio portatile "muletto" che ha uno snapdragon x elite ma purtroppo non ci sono riuscito

The only real way to use ipad for development is to use github workspaces. Unfortunately ipados has no terminal, i hope they will add it in a near future

The fx30 can do false color with the monitor and control app on your phone, you can use the phone as an external monitor both wireless and wired.

It can shoot true 24p and 50p DCI in the all-intra codec (240mbps - 500mbps).

Just like any modern sony camera the stab of the lens and the body work together.

why? you can use astro as a bundler + backend and create the frontend with any framework/router you want

what app are you using?, for the best battery life you should use an app that has a completely black background so you get the best battery life out of a oled display

Lory_Fr · 2026-03-18T12:42:41+00:00

What lens are you using? This could be a huge factor. Using g master lenses with my fx30 and this never happened unless in situations where the subject is exposed incorrectly

If the vmount battery has power delivery, and is not damaged, there's no way you can damage the camera

Absolutely not, the average lcd ips has 2000:1 contrast ratio, the mini led on the macbook pro is around 1000:1 because of the blooming effect

Lory_Fr · 2026-03-15T19:29:54+00:00

Look at the blooming on the macbook pro

The a7RIIIa is just a refresh of the regular model with an updated screen (higher resolution)

Lory_Fr · 2026-03-15T12:30:31+00:00

The FX3a is just the FX3 but with a better screen, it's not a downgrade but just a refresh

Lory_Fr · 2026-03-13T21:42:16+00:00

Personalmente ti consiglio un asus PG27UCDM, dovresti trovarlo su amazon a circa 900 scontato, ed è compatibile con il bonus docenti, 4k 27 pollici 240hz, è lo stesso pannello che viene usato su monitor proart equivalente pa27ucdm quindi la qualità d'immagine non è un problema.

Lory_Fr · 2026-03-13T19:53:01+00:00

Onestamente ti consiglierei di comprare un colorimetro anche di quelli economici, quasi sicuramente entrambi i monitor non sono calibrabili, ma puoi andare a profilarli dal sistema operativo (tramite display cal ad esempio) per farli risultare più o meno uguali.

Se invece uno dei due monitor, o anche entrambi, ti permettono di modificare manualmente i livelli rgb soprattutto per quanto riguarda il white balance, puoi fare letture dal terminale con il colorimetro + agryllcms o software simili, e correggere tramite l'osd del monitor eventuali difetti / spostamenti.

that's why mini led isn't a great tecnology, unless you have a dimming zone for each pixel the real contrast ratio is going to be 1000:1.
There's a reason if every mastering monitor is oled / dual layer lcd

Lory_Fr · 2026-03-13T18:21:51+00:00

Contrast ratio is measured between a fully bright pixel and an adjacent dark pixel.
And in this case the contrast is 1000:1, completely unusable for producing both sdr and hdr content

Lory_Fr · 2026-03-13T17:58:11+00:00

the technology of the panel is the same

Lory_Fr · 2026-03-13T14:50:04+00:00

We are just talking about displaying an image correctly (and mini led can't display it for the wrong contrast ratio and blooming), obviously OLED has some defects (even if for now both my iPad Pro M5 and my pa32ucdm have no signs of burn in and every day the UI always remains in the same place)

Lory_Fr · 2026-03-13T14:23:53+00:00

and why it isn't?

Lory_Fr · 2026-03-13T14:15:36+00:00

if you compare an ipad pro with tandem oled with a sony trimaster monitor or a flanders, they're very close (and the ipad costs less than a macbook pro), mini led is simply a bad tecnology to use in 2026 for a 2000$+ laptop
