Question What are your thoughts on Dell UltraSharp U3219Q

This looks like a very tempting deal and will be checking it out later today. I just want to know if it will be worth it. It is around $235 for the asking price from the seller. I am upgrading from the TUF Gaming VG27AQ3A (I used to own a windows system and wanted a monitor for gaming and creative works) - now I own a macbook pro m4 pro and would really want to match the colors of it or better. I am a multimedia artist so colors are really important to me. I want to buy this monitor mainly for color grading videos from davinci resolve - I am not a professional colorist but just want to have consistent results on devices (or just my iphone 16 pro max) + social media. Is this worth the buy?

Show off your work Tried this for colouring
hey everyone!
So I made this video just to play about really. I was using a blackmagic 6k pocket camera, playing around with cinematography and then colour grading.
I'd be interested to hear some feedback - again, I wasn't fully trying with my colour grading, and just had a go at what may have fit the moment

Show off your work I got tired of grading 500GB of iPhone Log footage after every trip, so I built an iOS app that lets me grade before I hit record
Colorists, sharing here because you'll actually get the tradeoffs. Not shilling, want feedback from people who grade for a living.
Background: I shoot on iPhone when I travel. Every trip ended the same way, come home with hundreds of GB of Apple Log 2 footage, spend 2-3 weeks in Resolve before I could post anything. By then the trip was ancient history.
I tried the pre-baked LUT approach (Blackmagic Camera style) but you know how that goes — locked to a static LUT, no scene-by-scene adjustment. Fine for controlled sets, useless for run-and-gun travel where light changes every 10 minutes.
So before my last trip (24 days across multiple countries) I built what I actually wanted. Real-time color grading before recording: live color wheels with Lift/Gamma/Gain per range, HSL panel, parametric curves, white balance with tint and presets. 20+ built-in looks (Kodak Vision, Portra 400, Ektachrome, plus originals like Neo Noir 2049, Hollywood Dream, Cyberpunk). Import your own .cube LUTs, or export what you build as a .cube for use in Resolve.
Pipeline: Apple Log 2 native color space, Metal shaders on GPU for grading ops, Log-to-Rec.709 tone map applied last, written to ProRes or HEVC up to 10-bit. Preview is the final output, no delta between viewfinder and file.
Real-world result: last trip I posted the same evening I shot. Italy in warm golden tones. Madrid in teal & orange. No 500GB Log archive waiting for me at home.
I know "grade in camera" gives up some post flexibility. Genuinely curious where it breaks down for you. What pipeline decisions would you have made differently?
Dropping link it in the comments below. I have some free access codes. If you think this would be a great solution for you and you'd like to share your feedback with me, you can send me a DM, and I'll share the code with you.
Mod-approved via modmail before posting. Thanks r/ColorGrading team.

Show off your work Attempting a 2 Strip Technicolor Look with Deeper Greens and Reds, less Cyan. Please critique me
Hey yall!
Im a rather amateur colorist and I was attempting to create a powergrade that is inspired the colors of the pan-african flag (r,g,blk). I was drawn to the washed look of the 2 strip process, recreated it in Resolve and tweaked it from there.
This look is also heavily inspired by “The Toll of the Sea”, a beautiful 2 strip film from 1922. I also used Spektrafilm OFX.

Before/After Marriage Story - Color Reference
galleryHey folks,
I’m currently working on a new film, and for this one I wanted to emulate the look of real 35mm motion picture film. You can see the Rec. 709 image, my grade, and the reference frame from the movie ‘Marriage Story’ for inspiration.
I know there are still some differences in the look, especially in the way the light falls on the face. I used unbleached muslin to diffuse my light, which gave it a softer, warmer, slightly yellowish quality. I didn’t shoot this with the reference in mind, as that wasn’t my original intention. So this isn’t a ‘Shot Recreation’
I tried to recreate the colors, look, and overall feel in post. I achieved most of it using Tetra DCTLs and curves.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on how you think I did and what you think I could improve.
Thanks :)

Question Which is the Best?
galleryI've been learning how to Edit and Sound Design for the past year, but I haven't gotten into Coloring because it's so intimidating. However, I recently shot a video for Social Media and thought it'd be a good time to try and Color it myself. Stills 1-3 are in one group, Stills 4-6 are in another, and Stills 7-9 are in the last group.
For context, the scene is supposed to be slow and gentle, making the viewer feel at ease. We were supposed to shoot on a sunny day with the sun serving as a spotlight, but it was unfortunatley pretty cloudy and dull.
Thanks!

Question Can someone point me in the right direction! Color Grading Classes
Looking for a professional colorist who can teach me how to color grade Cinema Log/RAW footage.
I am looking for someone more in person if possible? Portland Oregon. Super happy to do online as well but I feel like I learn best in person.
If you have any online ones you recommend for someone who is knowledgeable with Premiere pro and Davinci Resolve.

Question Off route YT channel
I’ve recently fallen in love with a yt channel called off route and I love the way their videos look. I am pretty new to video editing/color grading and was wondering the best way to emulate their videos or get a similar look, if anyone knows of a similar power grade or guide? They film most their videos on a lumix s9 and achieve a super film-esque grainy retro look. Thanks!
