    Hey there, guys.

    In the process of burning some cash before the end of the financial year and I’m setting up a new suite for editing/effects/compositing.

    My question is which brand of monitor. I’ve been looking at EIZO monitors, but not sure if they are the right way to go. Are they more for print related outcomes?

    I really want accurate color for broadcast. I’m also wondering if a high-end monitor can be used in place of a broadcast monitor as those things are DAMN expensive and I don’t think I can justify buying another one.

    Thanks in advance,

    Nick

    Have you checked out Flanders Scientific (see yellow ad to left on this page). Not inexpensive, but way less than TV Logic.

    I’ll give ya a broadcast trinitron NTSC monitor for 400 bucks if you cover shipping. It’s a heavy beast but cost several thousand back in the day.
