secondary display settings and monitor calibration
I’m using a large LCD (the DELL 2405FPW) for previewing HDV material. Can anybody tell me what the Vegas settings (in Preferences/Preview Device) should be?
When I disable the “use color management” checkbox, the preview looks washed out, (little contrast and too light), and much worse then the same material in VLC player or BS player.
So I ‘ve enabled color managment and set it at “sRGB Color Space Profile”, with the “use Studio RGB 16 to 235” checkbox disabled. Does that make sense?
I have difficulty calibrating this monitor anyway: reportedly it is too bright by default. I don’t have real calibration software/hardware, but used the demo of Passmark Monitor test. When I try to set brightness and gamma on a test image through the Nvidia driver software, the TestPattern previewed from the Vegas Timeline (with settings as above) is too dark.Any tips are much appreciated.

Hi Artur,
I can’t answer to you but i have a question about Vegas and HDV preview on an external LCD monitor.
Actually, I use Vegas with DV footage and can preview video at full DV quality (25fps with no FX).
Can I expect to preview HDV at full quality just like DV ?
Which graphic card I need for this ?Thank You

vegas 5 or 6 ?
the dell is only for previewing the HDV ? you don’t use it to edit V TL ?use graphic DVI out to DVI in connection on monitor ?

At full size (Preview-Full) I get a pretty good preview. Still the movement isn’t perfect, I only get a really fluent image when I set it to Preview-Auto, at half the width.
With an m2t file on the timeline it plays less fluent then when I convert to cineform intermediate format.
I changed my videocard from an Ati Radeon 9550 to an Nvidia 6800 GT (256 Mb) for this, but it doesn’t seem to help much. -
Vegas 6 (material converted to cineform). I put the preview on the secondary display which is the big LCD. I connect it through the DVI ports.
