Good setting for GUI and external monitor / Resolve

[Cory]

Hi,

I’m sure this question has been asked a lot so I apologize in advance. I did search the fourm and couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for.

I have 2 monitors for GUI work for resolve and also a external Dreamcolor Z24x monitor for color grading. My setup is in a controlled lighting invioronent with lights set to 6500k.

I’m using the X-Rite i1 Display Pro for calibrating.

Most of my work is for web/YouTube

what do you recommend for settings I should calibrate to?

Thank you

The Resolve preset seems like a reasonable choice. Also see the guide in the Wiki.

How bright should I calibrate the monitors though? And what gamma should I be using?

80-100cd/m2 in a dim environment.

And what gamma should I be using?

Rec. 1886 or sRGB. On your particular display, the difference will probably be small (Rec. 1886 is very close to sRGB when display contrast ratio is about 1000:1).
