monitor requirements
i was wondering if anyone can point me to a site (or perhaps has the knowledge) about Avid requirements for computer monitors.
About to purchase a new computer monitor and I want to find out before rather than later if Avid will play nicely with it.

Avid doesn’t seem to be too picky about computer monitors. The last time I looked, I didn’t find a list of approved monitors on Avid’s web site. You do need at least 1280×1024 resolution at 75Hz. or greater. If you’re planning on LCDs, you need the fastest pixel refresh rate you can get (4-7mS) so the video doesn’t smear. Of course bigger is better. If you want CRT monitors, just about any mid-range or high-end monitor will do, but they can be $500 – $1000. You want a monitor that can be set to D6500 color space so the image will resemble the color displayed on your client monitor.
