Affordable Monitors
I have a little budget to buy a monitor and I’m tempted by the economically priced
JVC TMH-150CGU 15-Inch Color Production Monitor with 750 Lines, 16:9 and 4:3 Aspect Switch, NTSC and PAL Systems
which is about $500.000 at B&H – Sonys seem to start over $1,000 and that’s a little out of range for me. But am I limiting myself too much getting the JVC? I shoot 24PA on the DVX 100B and edit in FCP HD.
Many thanks for any input.

What you’d not get is the SMPTE phosphors that the Sony monitors have— that’s the biggie… they are more color accurate. But the JVC is a TON better than a TV because you can set it up properly with bars, and is likely close enough.

Thank you Jerry – that’s what I gathered, but I figured where I’m not doing work that requires very faithful similarity to other monitors or to strict broadcast standards, I might get away without them. I appreciate the advice.
