LCD Flat panel for editing

[Michael Gissing]

Graeme, the Sharp Aquos has component input. The monitor auto switches to the resolution so I run compnent 580 or 1080 into it from the Decklink HD pro card. It looks amazing on 1080 but not very flattering on SD PAL. DV Pal in particular looks soft and compression artifacts are visible. Looking at a DVD on this screen is a bit of a surprise as mpeg artifacts are very obvious. The monitor doesn’t flatter anything, rather the reverse. SD is real ie soggy and HD is eye hurting sharp.
