  • Inexpensive (but quality) HD client monitor

    Posted by Pierre on September 7, 2006 at 3:34 pm

    For $1,500 or less what’s the biggest and best HD monitor I can get to serve as a client monitor. I know that’s not much money.

    I have heard that an older Sony CRT HD TV still delivers one of the best pictures for the buck…. the model number is: Sony XBR KD-34XBR960. Does anyone have any experience with this monitor? Or any other.

    Thanks,
    Michael

    Excellent TV, but huge and very, very heavy.

    Not the biggest, but my Sony 17″ HD multi-format monitor cost $600 and looks great when you feed a quality HD image to it. SD looks like crap on it, but for HD it suits clients just fine. Got it at Fry’s. It has component in, I just feed it from my Kona LH and it plays in real time.

    42″ Panasonic HDTV Plasma Screen will run you right about $2,000. Excellent for a client monitor. We run the 50″ in our main suite.
