Are CRTs still the way to go for HD Reference Monitoring?

[Jamie Worsfold]

Just out of interest, Walter – for SD on the Panasonic, is there any way of making the image smaller rather than taking up the whole screen? I’m working on a 2600W today for the first time and a digibeta shot programme output from a Kona via SDI to the monitor looks not very nice at all. I’d be just as well viewing it on a computer display….

It looks like its blowing up the image to fit the screen and giving me the effect of having zoomed into the image. Not good for trying to check focus on shots (it was offlined at 15:1 on Avid). Do you know if its possible to reduce the image size for SD?
