That's a very subjective question and depends how far you want to take it. X has a certain level of color grading built in, and then you can extend this with plugins like Magic Bullet. And you have the ability to monitor on broadcast gear from AJA, Blackmagic and Matrox. Finally if you wanted to take things further you can use XML exchange to go into DaVinci Resolve which is as good as it gets software-wise.
