Best Dual Screen Monitor Setup for Editing and Color Grading

The perfect pair for dual monitor screens are a 32in monitor along with the LG DualUp monitor. Here I show you my setup and how I utilize 2 and 3 screens for Editing and Color Grading in DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

Great review. i’m surprised you don’t have more views. The potential is there!

[GeorgZ]

I’ve been looking into the LG DualUP and I LOVE the idea of using the built in KVM to split the monitor and feed the bottom part with a clean video output in Resolve 🤯

[JCSvideography]

Great video! What colour profile would you recommend for the LG that has the best colour accuracy for editing?

[JosephHardinFilms]

I'd love to see you do a tutorial on color grading in FCPX! Just ways to speed up the workflow mostly!

[relaxpinknoise]

can we do triple monitors instead of dual screen!!! reason asking bc I'm in need of three monitors because I use three cameras for work. When I'm editing, I prefer to have three monitors to display each camera's footage separately. This makes it much easier for me to review and select clips during timeline editing. Do you have any alternative suggestions?

[MonstroInLA]

I have the same dell do you happen to have the settings for rec709 output on it

[MrDavinciResolve]

hey did you switch to resolve for editing or are you using resolve just for color grading.

[dviisn]

hey brother could you explain the cable set up to get your dual up in pbp with your mac? i’m using an anker 575 docking station and can’t figure it out

[anastasios.pappas]

Were you able to run both monitors in their native resolution using the same GPU? I think this combo is at the upper limit of what the max resolution of a GPU is.

[ruberto_inc]

what settings do you use on your LG? Both in system settings and on the monitor

[brianjacobsen]

Could someone tell me how the PC source is setup? Is the hdmi split out? Or is there a sceond cable video source used.

[jarkolicious]

I have owned the Dell UP3221Q for quite some time, and I find the USB-C connection periodically failing for absolutely no reason whatsoever. It does not appear to be the MBP, as I have the same problem with multiple machines. Instead of USB-C I opted to connect it via HDMI, which is a shame because it loses the value the single USB-C cable offers.

Out of curiosity, have you run into this issue at all?

I just ordered the LG DualUp to use with the Dell, and am considering swapping out the Dell with an Apple Studio Display instead. While that drops the size from 32" to 27", I feel like the color accuracy and Apple-to-Apple connection will decrease the potential for those USB-C issues I mentioned.

[ramsaurfilms]

The color wheels are still super small. Wish there was a way to extend that.

[kanerifilms]

Did you calibrate your dualup monitor? Just got one and have the calibrite colorchecker plus and am trying to figure out how to calibrate properly.

[riotrob]

I have an lg ultrawide, and I hate it’s single button menu interface. Just switching inputs or powering down is a pia. It’s a lot of extra “presses” just to do a single task. I even wonder how long the button will last because of all the use it sees. It looks like your monitor has the same interface. 😒

[benjamin.kelley]

Dang I have the LG ultra wide 34, And every time I want to color grade I have to switch to using my laptop screen since my monitor isn't color calibrated. It's so annoying!

[TheAmericanDowser]

Nice infomercial, but not a review because you make or made $$$ from it. Nothing wrong with that.
Nice video.

[DlaczegozByNie]

More than 50 percent of this video is a commercial, name of this movie should be different cause it makes misunderstanding

[diegorv_isuals]

I wanna buy it so bad but I have an M1 macbook pro :(

[JashBalar]

You look like Jim Carrey's lost son.
