3840 x 2160 ?
That's the video editing / post production market lost right there. DCI standard is 4096 x 2160 for cinema projection, because that is 4K...so people working in this field need that resolution.
I'm liking the HDR10 rec 2020, that I cannot deny - all in, it's impressive color with 100% Adobe RGB, 100% sRGB, 100% REC 709, 97.7% DCI-P3, 76.9% REC2020 (from the website) but the lack of full DCI4K support makes this worse.
And then there is the price which is nutty @ $1550.
IF someone was concerned about color-critical work, they could buy an OLED television manufactured late last year (brand new) 'fo that much molah and get several levels of magnitude higher quality color work done, and have the same resolution, yet have a much larger screen - essentially using it as a reference monitor.
So, at one end it's the wrong resolution for the intended market, and at the other end is more expensive than a better and larger alternative.
Can anyone offer me an alternative solution to:-
a) Color critical work
b) DCI4K resolution
Because right now, there is not much choice other than Sony and Eizo, and Sony (I believe) are the only ones with OLED Monitors for color work, and they are $30,000...https://www.sony.co.uk/pro/product/broadcast-products-professional-monitors-oled-monitors/bvm-x300-v-2.0/specifications/#specifications
Yet...OLED televisions are larger and cost less...I need help gurus! Why does my brain not balance this equation?

The article doesnt say anything about Rec.2020. For $1,500 you can be sure its not targeted at pro color work anyway. Add another zero and then itd be in that ballpark.
Not even the Sony OLEDs can actually do full Rec.2020. No monitor does yet. I think the highest commercially available ones are like 70-80% coverage.
Christie makes some six laser $100,000 projectors(price doesnt include screens or sound system of any kind) that do Rec.2020.
LG OLED TVs do incredibly accurate Rec.709 for dirt cheap and have perfect black levels. I dont know if they accept RGB 0-255 sRGB inputs properly for use as a monitor though.
