NTSC Monitor New Sony Luma Series – Comment?
I am looking for a reference ntsc monitor. The first round of Sony Luma Series LCD montiors were not impressive. My sony dealer assures me that the new Luma flat screen LCD series is excellent. I am interested in any feedback on the LMD-2050W model or any pointers to unbiased reviews. I need to be able to color correct with it.
Comments anyone? Thanks.
PS – Would also be interested in suggestions for other monitors on the market.

Just bought one 2wks ago. It is OK, has nice pro features (blue gun, lots of inputs, plus cross etc) but still not as useful for color correction as our 19″ 15 year old NTSC Iki 3 gun monitor.
The Sony’s color rendition just isn’t as smooth – not sure how to quantify this. (chroma noise doesn’t seem to stand out as well for example, subtle colors are not as defined)My biggest beef is it visually clips anything over legal white and black (16 to 235). I have videotapes shot w/no setup & slightly blown highlights & black detail that I can see on the Iki but are gone on the Sony. I only know they are there if I adjust the proc amp. Not good.
