Is this going to be regraded in Resolve? Also I'm super jealous that you have an FSI!
You mentioned wanting an OLED panel. Would you be interested in the next best thing? There is a Pioneer Kuro plasma 50 inch in my area going for about 700. These screens can be calibrated to cover Rec709 almost perfectly, and provide motion resolution that exceeds any current oled, as well as blacks that are almost as good (0.001 nits). You'd be limited to HDMI but good SDI cards like the deck link have HDMI ports as well.
If it'd help with the grading (as LCDs are somewhat deficient when it comes to contrast and motion resolution) let me know and I can work out purchasing and shipping it on your behalf.
That would be great as a client monitor, but I am in Australia, so it probably won't work :(
Yet, it will be graded in resolve after repairing the damage on the defect matte.
Plasmas are problematic to use for grading, the ABL screws everything up. The floating white point on plasmas is difficult to deal with, but they do work well on 80% of scenes, and make a great client 'wow!' monitor, and a preview monitor for motion.
For anyone contemplating setting up a grading suite, something like this for example, http://youtu.be/QMcjRZbujYg , with white backgrounds would be impossible to grade on a plasma.
There are definitely some scenes in SW that could cause problems, but it would be fine for the majority of the movie.
