Production Monitor BT-LH1700W or Plasma?

[Bill Stephan] “They do have a pronounced green cast in the mid-tones (supposedly to make the flesh tones a bit nicer). The green cast is easily seen on a monochrome image. It’s almost impossible to use these monitors for color correcting.”

Hmm… well that’s not good. Thanks for the heads-up.

Wow, that’s the first I’ve heard of that. I’ve looked at these monitors several times and have never seen this. Sounds like it should be something very obvious from the way you describe it, but I have not seen this at all. I’ll have to ask my Panasonic contacts about this and why you’re seeing such a green cast. I wonder if it’s something in your setup since you’re seeing it on both monitors.

Are you seeing this image on your monitor when shooting on a white background? If so it could be a panel issue.

We have worked on dozens of these units. Its is a common problem, but I can assure you it is not “normal”.

Unless I completely mis-interpreted your post 😛
