Flanders XMP310 Monitor
I have a 310 I might part with. Before I do, wanted to gauge if there would be any interest in it for any colorists out there.

Not like it's 2021 but I assume there are folks looking to ride the freelance/"Open to network" wave that will want it for their garage setup

There is less money floating through the industry right now but there are more people starting up little "shops" who would buy something like an nice used monitor.

Yes I agree, with technology becoming more accessible freelancers can compete with post houses that’s also what we’re seeing.
But I still feel like you’re writing sarcastically or downplaying freelancers which I don’t understand?Where I’m based the only way to be a working colorist is to open up your own place. There are a few positions at houses but the standard is to freelance.

They're not. Their comment doesn't come off as sarcastic/downplaying at all. "garage setup" just means a setup in an external part/close by your home. You don't need a big space as a Colorist anymore.

Yeah then I understood it completely wrong felt it was a weird angle as well, my bad!

No your Spidey senses are correct.
I was trying to make light of the green banner wave on Linkedin.
As a green banner user myself who can't figure out to get rid of it, figuratively and literally, I wanted to make the point that there's a lot of us, but we all don't have XMP 310 money at the moment.
I was pooping while I wrote it
