Is it possible to grade an image without even seeing it and not having the end result look like garbage? Today we find out!

Through only using my scopes I really wanted to find out just how much you can rely on them. I'm honestly surprised by the results. I've only been coloring more seriously for the past year and a half so I haven't made an investment into a proper color accurate monitor, because they're like 5 grand minimum so I often rely heavily on my scopes to check my whites, blacks and skin tones. After this test I think I'll keep saving up for a new monitor, but maybe I don't need it as bad as I thought.
