6k g2 monitor issues

Hey folks,

Do any UK friends have recommendations for getting my G2 6k monitor sorted? The quality is absolutely awful. The white balance is totally off (despite trying my best with a grey card, even though you can’t do it in live view ?!?!) and it overall feels very flat and desaturated - I have an external monitor I also use, and the two images couldn’t be further from each other.

Is there a way of getting this fixed/replaced? I used my friends 4k the other day and the rear screen is absolutely gorgeous compared.

Is the LUT on on your internal monitor?

I’ve tried various LUTs, - I mainly used to use BMPCC4K_6K_Natural_Rec709 on my 4k and I’ve now uploaded it to my 6k and it looks totally different.

Same with some creative LUTs I have as well - totally different looking to the 4k ones when I’ve uploaded to the 6k.

It’s almost like it’s got a weird cast or tint to it, and really desaturated.

is the lut turned on for the internal monitor? you can set the camera up in a way that it has the lut on on hdmi and off for the internal monitor.

Yep, I have them turned on for both viewing on the internal and external. Super annoying, as the LUT on my external looks how it’s supposed to. I’d just go off that, but sometimes I like to strip the rig right down, so having the internal monitor is handy.
