Samsung Monitor for Video Editing??
Hi,
After reading tons of reviews, it seems that Samsungs are pretty hard to beat. If you use a Samsung monitor for video editing what would you suggest and what to stay away from? I want to setup a two monitor system one for editing with the other for viewing. I need both monitors to be capable (switchable) of viewing 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios correctly.
I am currently looking at the following monitor, but I’ve heard that TN monitors are a no no. Is this true? Other than that I like the specs; 2ms, digital/analog interface, etc.. Please give me your professional opinion. Camcorders that I use are the Sony DCR-VX2100 and the Sony HDR-HC7 Thanks, Ray
P.S. I know about the “S” and “A” series issues on this particular monitor. S is preferable.Samsung 226BW

What’s your thoughts for two of these for video editing? One as a DVI with the other set up as analog RGB for viewing.

use 2 x 206bw’s. very happy. anything larger would be (for my purposes) overkill, and probably too big for comfort.
they’re 1680*1050, but i’m more than pleased with hd viewed on them.
i still monitor with a sony crt, and can’t see myself in the near future using any lcd for cc, etc.,

I use a 32″ Samsung LCD HDTV for my second monitor. It’s only 1360 – 768 but thats what most medium HDTVs are. The larger ones should be 1920 – 1080 and a decent video card will handle it. Plus there’s a ton of other inputs for camera, DVD’s VCR whatever you have.

Ray, on a recent monitor discussion on the Sony Vegas forum, for a variety of reasons, most folks did not recommend the Samsung monitors.
The Westinghouse L2410NM (24″ – 1920 x 1200) was highly recommended.
Sam’s Club apparently has it for $299 right now. -
Thanks Mike, I’ll check it out.
