In this video, Hugo explains why he uses a photography monitor for editing, grading, and VFX: "It's basically my journey with the SW321C for the last 12 months. It's not really a review but more like a video where I talk about some of the features, you should consider when picking a professional monitor. We talk about hardware calibrations, color profiles, HDR, 10-bit vs 8-bit + FCR, Nits, reference video preview, and much more".
