Activity Forums Avid Media Composer Monitor recommendation?

  • Monitor recommendation?

    Posted by Steve Pankow on September 4, 2010 at 12:20 am

    One of my 4:3 LCD monitors is crapping out on my dual screen Media Composer and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a replacement or what specs to look for? I’d be replacing the pair.

    My Sony PVM-1954Q CRT is also dying, so I could use some input on a decent reference monitor as well. TIA.

    Steve,

    Are you still looking for a good reference monitor?

    I had a reseller suggest the JVC DT-V20L3GZ and the Panasonic BT-LH1710. Somebody else from the Avid Community forums suggested a HP LP2475w, but I wasn’t sure if that was their pick for a reference or desktop model. At roughly $575 I’m never going to get this place to bite on that for a desktop.

    The reseller liked any mid-range HP model for desktop, so I’m leaning towards the S2251 or 2210M right now. We have no real standard for monitors here anymore. Our remaining Avids used to ship with NEC units, but we’ve since put in replacements from Princeton, Dell, Lacie, Viewsonic, etc.

    Steve,
    Contact me over at cre8tive at GEEMALE dawt com if you are still looking for a good reference monitor. I have a PWM-20L2 that is in pristine condition. I will let it go to auction if you’re not interested.

    Regards,

    Thanks. I’ll pass this along to the bean counters and see what they say.
