"We align every unit with $60,000 worth of professional calibration equipment, so they're ready to plug and play out of the box," he explains. "We also offer free lifetime, same-day calibration, as well as integrating with many popular third-party calibration options." The company also sells direct to end users "so we can supply product very quickly and listen to users and implement their feedback," he says. "Most functions on the monitors are a result of customer requests." Lifetime free firmware upgrades are also offered. Merkel realizes 4K panels are "where the industry is headed" but cites their current high price tags. "We'll see more at the next NAB as the price of manufacturing comes down. We try to strike a balance between functionality and affordability. We're always researching new technology, but we don't want to sell a unit that is more expensive than our customers can afford."
