JVC new Verite line
Has anyone bit and tried one of the JVC Verite professional LCD monitors yet? I have a first generation model and the description of the Verite line doesn’t address some of my problems with it.
Anyone?
Thanks,

I have used both the DT-V24L1U and the DT-V24L3DU, separately and side by side in several different jobs and contexts. If used them both for post color work and both for on-set camera shading. The JVC monitors are visually very stunning, I think they do show the truth, as much as flat panel technology this cheap can display. I’d never compare them to something like an eCinema DPX. My main complaints which keeps me from purchasing or recommending the JVC products are the screen and the viewing angle, or lack thereof.
The glossy screen will reflect things from the next county over, even in an enclosed, controlled environment. In a control room with all sorts of little colored LED equipment lights, it’s darn near impossible to keep any sort of reflection off that blasted glossy screen.
The viewing angle sweet spot is the size of a postage stamp. I’ve literally been cheek to jowel with clients and producers while watching an edit or a live cut. Even if you move a couple degrees off axis, you’ll see a severe degradation in color imaging.
Beyond these limitations that I see, the D3 is a great monitor, certainly better than models from TV Logic that I currently find are no better than the first Sony LMD products.

I’ve been seriously considering the 20″ verite model but upon craig’ post, I’m not so sure. I don’t think there are any comparable 1080 monitors along that price range. The new panasonic 1760 has great reviews but not 1080 resolution (anyone thinks that it doesn’t matter?) and about $1000-$1500 more.
Can anyone recommend other 20″ models along the $3k line?
Thanks,
