Sony LM 1410 LCD screen

[Walter Biscardi]

No way would I use any LCD screen for color correction or even for solitary monitoring of my projects. The Sony Luma series claimes to have SMPTE-C Phosphor colors, but I have not heard anything good on them yet. I suspect NAB 2006 will bring out some better LCD screens and something will emerge as the new “standard.”

I’m taking delivery tomorrow of a new Sony PVM-14L5/1 multiformat monitor. For true color reproduction, a professional Sony CRT is still the way to go.

Well, I use the LM2010 LCD in my edit suite and its not bad. Albeit, not as high of resolution as the CRTs but they are cost effective and I haven’t had any problems color correcting with them yet or I have had no complaints yet. Now, I do know for a fact that Sony no longer makes CRTs for standard def video, just the LCDs so if you really want a CRT, you’ll have to purchase a used one or find someone who still may have a new in stock. But like I said, they look great. Now I do want to mention that they have a slow refresh rate so you may see a tear in the screen during cuts on your timeline but they are cost effective and very space saving.

The Sony PVM-14″ models still seem somewhat plentiful, the 20″ models are gone and only B-Stock exists. If you’re going to purchase B-Stock, only go with a known company, I would NOT purchase something like this on eBay at auction.

If it’s not SMPTE-C phosphor accurate, I can’t use it in a broadcast situation, especially cutting broadcast HD like we’re doing now. If I was only doing corporate work, I would just go down to Best Buy and pick up a Sony Wega off the shelf as they are very very good video monitors and just feed it component or S-Video.

Hmmm, think I may be needing to check out some monitors at the Production Show in London in January…. if I find an LCD that looks good there then I’ll know what to do.. if not, it’s working out some more room form a CRT 🙂

By the way, Walter: I haven’t looked at your website for a while, but that is the best editing facilities ever!!! Cool, much better than just sitting in a white room.

I shall think of your Tom n Jerry inspired kitchen the next time I’m making a cup of tea 🙂
