Color grading monitor for Macbook Pro

[Paul Redgrove]

Quick of quick questions…

1. Looking to hook up a MacBook Pro to a JVC broadcast monitor at OB’s going through a MXO2 is my best option? Tried a colleagues ADVC-1000 and couldn’t get the darn thing to work (see other post https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/21/859395). I have no deck save whatever cameras we’ve taken…

2. For a future-proof(ish) edit suite (small) in new office (open plan) any suggestions on monitors?

Cheers

I have been planning on upgrading my old 20 inch (2007) Dell monitors and was in the process of researching via google when I came across this thread.

Bob, your initial response to Brian’s post had me laughing the house down at 4:20am in the morning. Even though your comments were insanely harsh and could have been perhaps phrased in a more user friendly manner, the home truths were 100% spot on. Your post is the funniest thing I’ve read this year.

Shane, I found your comments most insightful. Had no idea a computer monitor signal via a mac/pc had to be converted via a device such as the MXO for broadcast monitoring. Don’t get me wrong I was aware of this feature on the MXo but assumed it was just a marteking gimmick. True what they say about ignorance is bliss 🙂

Thanks to you all for sharing your industry experience and wealth of knowledge.

Regards.

Really Bob,

Why do you have to come off with such attitude when this person is obviously new and wants some information? If this forum was just for seasoned professionals then no one would be on here because everyone would know everything. There was a time when you were new to this and you might want to remember it. Would you like to have been treated in the same way? Give me and everyone else a break and lighten up…Ian
