Black Coffee, Bright Pixels, and Broken OLEDs: A Cup with Joey D'Anna

Color & Coffee

In our second episode of the season, I sit down for a fascinating chat with fellow podcast host and lead colorist of DC Color, Joey D’Anna.

Our conversation begins with Joey’s strong opinions on coffee preparation, followed by a quick overview of his journey to becoming a colorist. We then dive into the power of HDR and how new display technology can completely changed the creative approach to grading - or not.

Finally, we delve into the tech behind WOLED panels, used in the popular LG C and G series displays—and, most importantly, why they aren’t ideal as “reference” displays, even when professionally calibrated.

Grab your favorite cup of coffee and enjoy this awesome conversation!
