HD Monitors for Color Correction
Hi All
Looking for an affordable HD monitoring solution for color correction.
I understand that there is no one great solution that is cost effective. But Im looking in the 5,000 range.Thanks,
Michael

For that price you can afford a Sony PVM-20/L5 20″ CRT.
It comes with HD/SD switching component analog in, but if you want SDI the add on card is about another thousand.
Walter, Shane & I all have the 14″ version and use it
for color correction.Its a great multi-format monitor to be sure.
They are now discontinued but they pop up on ebay now and then.I found mine here at the creative cow.net classifieds.

That is an affordable range.
The Decklink Extreme is $995. Then you can look at the Panasonic BT-LH1700 HD LCD…that is about $3500-4000. My favorite lower cost HD LCD is the JVC DT-V24L1DU – about $4500.
Then there is the ULTRA LOW cost Matrox MXO and Apple Cinema Display option. Click on my head at the top of the forum and you’ll find a review for it here on the Cow.
$5000 is very doable. I was expecting you to say something like $500, like everyone else is apt to do here.

Thanks Chris and Shane
Im doing a search for the Sony that Chris recommended.
Shane: How does the Panasonic and JVC do with viewing SD?

Pretty well. A bit better than the MXO/ACD combo. That, IMHO, is a good HD solution, but for SD, attach an SD monitor to the MXO.
I really like the JVC…that would be my recommendation.

Right now you can pick up the JVC with HD/SDI from B&H for $3699, thats a great price. I’ve used the 20 inch version and I think for the price JVC’s LCDs are the best. I think they have better blacks then the Panasonic LCD’s, but I love the waveform on the Panasonic, wish JVC had that feature.
