  best color-accurate broadcast monitors for both SD and HD?

  Posted by Ann Clark on April 26, 2013 at 1:24 am

  We’re looking into replacing some old Sony Trinitron NTSC preview monitors that are used within our edit suites.

  (Not looking for a computer display, and not a consumer-level TV.)

  We need to display broadcast-quality, color-correct output in NTSC SD and HD, as we are producing both SD and HD television commercials.

  The current edit suite desktops (Macs) are connected to Sony HDV DVCAM Digital HD Videocassette Recorder, Model HVR-M15U, which output via SVideo to a Sony PVM-14L1 monitor.

  Here’s an example of a monitor that’s well within the budget:

  Sony LMD-2110W 21.5″ Professional LCD Monitor
  Product Highlights
  1920 x 1080
  170°/160° Viewing Angles
  NTSC/PAL
  10-bit Signal Processing
  109% Peak White
  ChromaTRU Color Matching
  Color Temperature & Gamma Mode Settings
  Composite, Y/C, RGB, Component, HDMI
  SD-SDI Support via Optional Adapter

  B&H sells this model:

  Any good???

  1. What monitors are being used in the TV station / cable provider where you work?

  2. What can we expect to pay for a decent monitor that can display broadcast quality output?

  Opinions and suggestions appreciated!!
