LCD or Plasma options for SD viewing
Yes, I know it’s not ideal. I know a CRTs look vastly better. But I’m setting up a portable offline system and need something for clients to look at. No critical color work.
Anyone have an opinion of what monitor might be the least of all the SD flatscreen viewing evils? I’m thinking something in the 20″-24″ range.
Thanks

37″ Panasonic is the smallest plasma screen that I know of so you’re stuck with LCD. Sony makes a very nice 17″ HD display for about $500 which I picked up at Fry’s electronics. Handles DVI / RGB / Component / S-Video and Composite for inputs and we used to use it on our remote editing system.

Wow, two reponses within 15 minutes, and at night even. Thanks, fellow cows.
We only do a little HD at the studio now, and we’ve got some overpriced Luma monitors to view it.
Walter: Do you think, for SD, the Sony monitor you mentioned would be better than a Dell 24″?

none of them are great at SD, but the sony is the best small LCD I’ve seen yet. Also comes in a 20″ model. If you go and read my article about building a remote HD editing workstation, I list the model number in there.
