I was wondering if any of you using a SmallHD DP4 or DP 6 would mind sharing your monitor settings? I'm having a hard time dialing in an accurate looking picture for the FS100 ><
 
I filed a support request too last night. They sent out an email with a new link, my support response shortly followed that email. I'll test it and let it know.

Would be curious to hear your settings with the new firmware if you don't mind sharing =)
 
what do you mean by having a hard time dialing in an accurate picture?
is there something wrong with the color or exposure?
 
My monitor appears to have almost a yellow/tanish cast to the picture. I can't seem to get reasonably accurate color accuracy.

BTW the new focus assist is AMAZING. Not sure if you've tried it yet. It's a joke how easy it is to hit critical focus with it on o.O

Can you explain why this focus assist is so easy. I'm having a hard time deciding between this and the other companies one.
 
Maybe I can find a video for you. The new focus assist on the DP6 retains all the color/information etc. of the scene without altering the picture. Then you get super super clear and well defined very obvious white lines where the lens is focused. Between this and the peaking on the marshall, smallhd wins hands down. Plus, smallhd has the added benefit of false color. This shows the IRE value everywhere in the frame so you know exactly what the exposure of your shot will look like.

Not to mention, smallhd comes out with regular firmware updates that are as simple as downloading it to the provided USB they give you and then sticking the key into the monitor. "future proof" =)

But yes, still curious as to everyone elses image settings on the DP4/DP6
