First thing to mention is that Focus Peaking just doesn't turn on and they "hope to have an update maybe someday to make it work." They will tell you that the peaking is only in the color Gray and very thin and hard to see, however after MANY tests I can confirm there just isn't a ANY focus Peaking on this monitor. To load LUTs into the monitor you need their conversion software (that you have to contact support to get and then after you install the software you have to contact support again to get an unlock code for your machine [this processes takes hours to days to complete and if you ever get a new computer you have to do it all again]) All of this is to convert the LUTs to the proper 17x17x17 RGB/RGB .cube format and THEN you need to find a thumb-drive that is less than 16gb so you can format it as *FAT32* so the monitor will read it. BUT .. after all that It STILL didn't work. The manual was useless and I had to figure out the rest through trial and error to get them loaded. Once they were loaded they looked awful because the monitor uses the same Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, etc settings for the Native input and also ALL of the LUT presets. Another warning is that MANY features of the monitor only work in SDI mode (SDI Mode ONLY; Histogram, Time Code, Exposure, Peak Settings, Audio Meters). SDI mode only works in 1920x1080 so you're 4K monitor is only 4K in HDMI if you don't mind loosing a bunch of other features. All-in-all if you plan to use this as more than just a fancy TV on a stand (if you can find a stand that will hold this 40 pound beast) I would suggest looking at another product.
