Why You Should Color Calibrate Your Video Editing Monitor (and how to do it!)

Color calibration is important to ensure that your final film will be color accurate! Here are some devices you can use to help:

For Professional Video Editors and Colorists who want a monitor with a self-calibrator:
ASUS ProArt 32" PA32UCXR 4k HDR monitor with a built-in motorized colorimeter with Dolby Vision -- On sale now for $2,759
Amazon ➜ https://asus.click/ProArt-Gal-USamz
B&H ➜ https://asus.click/ProArt-Gal-B&H
UK e-tailer ➜ https://asus.click/ProArt-Gal-UK

Another less expensive option would be to get the ASUS PorArt PA279CRV 27" 4k HDR Monitor without Dolby Vision and no built-in calibrator. This is only sale now for only $399 -- while it does come pre-calibrated, you will need to calibrate it regularly with a calibration device that you must purchase separately (recommendation below).

Amazon ➜ https://amzn.to/4c0bBae
B&H ➜ https://bhpho.to/4bSS2Rb

If you have a monitor without a self-calibrator, purchase a professional video color calibration device:
➜ DataColor Spyder X2 Elite for Video Professionals: https://amzn.to/3zXDmDi or https://bhpho.to/4f7r6js
*Note, remember that these devices create a color calibration profile on your computer for that monitor, it doesn't calibrate the monitor itself.
