Looking for a monitor for video editing?

Hello folks

I want to get into animation and video editing, and for my studies, I need a monitor that's very well suited for this type of work. I only have €500 available, and it would be very helpful if you could recommend some good monitors, including a reason.

Kind regards

A video plays at 24 FPS, 25 FPS, or 30 FPS. Most monitors can handle 30 or 60 FPS perfectly, but not the other "odd" numbers. A smooth multiple of the video's FPS won't cause errors. A 60Hz monitor is therefore perfect for playing 30 FPS videos.

The higher the FPS of the monitor, the better other FPS fit into the grid, so the fewer timing errors occur.

For European films, i.e. 25fps, a monitor with 100Hz is ideal, 50 FPS, 75FPS and 125FPS are just as good but unfortunately there are hardly any such things available anymore.

A CRT monitor can run at exactly the right FPS (or a perfect multiple). Back then, I had an IBM P70 that handled everything from 50 Hz to 120 Hz without any eye pain. That was extremely important back then with 50-field videos.

Flat screens have a fixed panel frequency, even if they can process "all" frequencies. These are then converted internally by multiplying individual images or blending images together (crossfading).

So you'd need different monitors or one that delivers a particularly high FPS to minimize the error if you need the three common FPS values ​​and not just one. So, 24 FPS (cinema), 25 FPS (EU), and 30 FPS (US).

So, if you almost always work at 25 FPS (or 50 Hz half-frames), then a 100 Hz device is ideal. Unfortunately, you can hardly get that as a monitor, but you can get it as a TV. In this case, a small 100 Hz TV is best suited.

Computer monitors are optimized to keep text easy on the eyes, so they don't produce extreme white. Televisions are meant to "pop," and therefore produce more aggressive whites or other colors. Therefore, you either need a monitor (preferably color-calibrated) that can do "everything" and is super expensive, or a simple, small TV.

Above all, you have to remember that your final product is more likely to end up on a television than on a computer monitor.

Well, the most important thing is actually the size and the Hertz number is also important because the Hertz indicates how much you see of what your PC calculates at the end.

The connection is also important, e.g.

So the size is clearly up to you, you should know what you like best, if it says inches it means the diagonal, from top left to bottom right

The number of hearts would be around 144 or more, depending on what your graphics card can do

and the connection should currently be display port, which your graphics card should also have.

That would be one of the most important things, there are also other details, for animations it would be important to have the most realistic coloring possible, but I don't know what the details are called.

Something like curved, for example, you have to know whether you like that. It's a personal preference, but since it's about animations, I would prefer a straight screen.

Because of subjective perception, it could be distorted.

What is this nonsense?

This has nothing to do with the PC's calculations

Anschluss müsste momentan display port

Wieso ? Display Port ist ganz und gar kein Muss

In terms of good image transmission this is currently the best as far as I know, that's what I meant

As long as you only want to connect one monitor to one cable and only need 4K resolution there is no difference

Both can even achieve 8K resolution

DisplayPort can theoretically transmit larger amounts of data than HDMI 2.1

That's true, but it only has an effect if you want to connect two independent monitors to one cable.

This would not be possible with HDMI

Then ask gamers who are more familiar with the FPS that have to do with the heart rate. No, not everything that the graphics card calculates is always displayed. Yes, it is a whole image, but not all of the calculations in an image.

the speed of the individual images per second, proportional to the min

Unfortunately incomprehensible

The graphics card determines the number of frames per second of the video image depending on the resolution.

The human eye needs 25 frames per second to see moving images.

A TV therefore displayed 50 fields per second.

Today, 100Hz TVs are common to display smoother movements.

To avoid interference from lighting in the room, the TV should always be a multiple of the 50Hz mains frequency.

It's not really any different with the PC.

But no matter what frequency the monitor works at.

You always see the whole picture!

Even with interlaced and half-frames, you always see the complete images.

I don't understand what's wrong with the statement "you always see the whole picture"?

ALL images that the graphics card calculates are always transferred and displayed.

Man sieht immer das ganze Bild.

Wie viel man sieht ist also Unsinn

Feel free to ask and read about it. Displayport is generally better than HDMI.

HDMI is just available everywhere.

Klar deshalb wird überall vo es um Viedeoübertragung geht HDMI verwendet
