LG 31MU97 - The best 4K monitor money can buy!

,

The LG 31MU97 is by far one of my favorite pieces of gear. I was a big fan of the ultrawide format for quite some time, but since I've gone to shooting 95 percent of all my video on YouTube in UHD (3840X2160), the 31MU97 was a welcomed upgrade. It's allowed me to preview and edit my content at its native resolution and that has been big for me. See my full review!

As mentioned in the video review the 31MU97 doesn't come without its quirks. I'm willing to bet these issues are due to the competitive pricing of the monitor. With that in mind, I'm okay with making that sacrifice because I'm saving anywhere between $200-400 when considering similarly spec'd monitors. Both Amazon and B&H come pretty close to one another in pricing.

I recently reviewed some smartphone lens kits that open up the argument that the modern day phone could possibly replace your DSLR. Check out this comparison of the MPOW MLens V2 and the Polaroid 3-in-1 lens kit:

Roland Super UA Audio Interface Review

The Super UA Audiophile Interface is by far one of 2015's most impressive introductions to the audio space. The sheer power behind the Super UA is reason enough to implement it into your workflow or DAW. Regardless if you use the interface for voiceover, are a music hobbyist, or a professional mastering engineer the Super UA by Roland is and will be a great addition to your setup.

All in all, I'm extremely happy with having the Super UA as part of my editing workflow. It produces some of the most accurate sound I've ever had the pleasure of listening to, it also helps me capture some really great, full sounding voiceover.

Coming in at around $600-700 it's a must have for all serious professionals and is something I would recommend the prosumer at least consider for purchase and inclusion into there workflow, as the price can kind of scare some folks away. I know I don't regret purchasing it and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Satechi Aluminum Monitor Stand

During CES 2016 there were a good amount of grumblings about some newly announced USB-Type C accessories for Apple's ultra-portable MacBook, that coincidentally features a single-port design. With that in mind, Satechi took off with designing a ton of different accessories that help a person become way more productive while maintaining the aesthetics of individual’s investments.

Now with that out of the way, there are way too many accessories to talk about here in this post. If you’re interested in checking out any of them, feel free to see Satechi’s website: 

Now on to the Satechi aluminum stand. It is a strong monitor/laptop stand that looks fantastic that MSRPs for around $40. It comes in gold silver, and space gray.
