Gage Academy Spring 2018 Studio Monitor

Bought from B&H new in Spring 2018. Still working in Summer 2020 without issue. Crossing my fingers, never had the issues others describe. Used with Maxoak V mount batteries. Never tried charging the batteries via this pinch as I believe manufacturer instructions said to charge via the battery's d-tap. Used with several monitors, GH5 and BMPCC4k.

It works great I have it in my gage and the sound on the television is great

I got this monitor to go with my 2018 Mac Mini. Connecting via HDMI has been flawless.

High quality and 12 gage wire which is rated for 20 amps.

I use This mic for recording Choral At the LasVegas Academy of Performing Arts

The perfect monitor for the Mac Studio.

Now my rolling studio monitor can be placed anywhere.

I don't know what the haters have been smoking, but obviously they haven't educated themselves... I've been using the DisplayPort 1.2 setting in the monitor menu and using a DisplayPort 1.2+ capable cable since 2018 with no issues running the monitor at 4k at 60hz since 2018. I think the haters haven't even opened their settings menus to confirm if they're using the highest version of DisplayPort on their monitor lol. It takes 15 seconds to navigate to the menu, if it's not working then switch your DP cable because you're probably rocking a 1.1 or less version that's been sitting in your closet for too long. This is one of the best value 4k monitors besides using a small 4k value tv. It has impressive color range and accuracy with 10 bit color vs the usual 8 bit you'll see even modern tvs still using, and if you haven't made the switch to 4k or even 1440p yet and wonder if the difference is worth it, trust me I have a fine pair of glasses on and the difference in clarity is night and day resolution wise for reading text like this and detail for movie viewing is quite nice and the viewing angles are amazing for value LED, the next step up from here is getting a higher refresh rate 4k oled for me eventually.

On my mac mini 2018 with a 4k monitor, I swapped an HDMI to HDMI cable with this thunderbolt to displayport cable. Huge difference! Before, the entire display was sluggish and unresponsive. Now, the picture is sharp, and the UI is smooth and responsive.

Had this monitor since 2018, and I use it manly for focus pulling. It's a great monitor, good brightness, easy to use buttons and at a great price. Construction is a bit flimsy but it's held together so far for me over 5 years for me. I am gently on my gear though, I take care of it. I wouldn't rent this out in fear of it being damaged. Only complaints are sometimes the sdi in can be a bit finicky, but it's usually the type of cable you have attached. Doesn't like a lot of strain/weight on the input. Haven't used HDMI much so can't attest to that. Throw on a large battery and this thing can run for hours! Wouldn't throw any more money into a fancier monitor when there are so many other things that are more important.
