Monitor dying – Please give me some cost effective suggestions!
Hey all,
My Sony HFR30 is dying a slow death and I need to replace it.
Most of what I do is SD but have a HVX200 and wanting to move that way.Using FCPro and Decklink extreme via component to BetaSP at the moment. I also have a Intensity pro but can’t install it till I get a new ePCI Mac. I want to use the HDMI.
I’d like to get something to wow the client’s but with a budget of about 500-1000.
Any suggestions? Can I buy a consumer LCD or Plasma would that be sufficient?”

Shawn,
I wanted a monitor that I could use with my HVX200 and my 15′ Macbook Pro. Something inexpensive. I got the Westinghouse 24″ for $380 delivered from Best Buy. Nice doable monitor for the price. 2 day delivery.. It has HDMI, HD component, VGA, Video and SVHS connectors.
Before you call the undertaker, search the forum….. as Wally says,,,, cause we been talking monitors. for a couple weeks..

Thanks Nate – I’ve been reading some of them already. Saw yours about that monitor (the price is great)
is a computer monitor like that good for NTSC and HD?
Will one of the new LCDs or cheaper Plasmas TVs work?Can get a much bigger screen for not a lot more money. Seems like a bigger WOW factor for clients.
Thanks for your help

“is a computer monitor like that good for NTSC and HD? ”
That is why I got it. Plugs right into the HVX200 or MBP – 1080i – 1920 x1200 is the monitor screen. I did notice that when plugged into the HVX200 it does not show the full camera view. It is a little cropped. The focus help for the HVX200 is not much better then the focus assist on the camera… But then that is supposed to be the reason to spend $2,500 plus.

I am sure most pros here on the FCP pasture would claim that, that is exactly what the Westinghouse is…
