Sony PVM-1954Q – Good for SD only or?
Hello
I am curious about this monitor because a studio has this for broadcast work and has asked me to use it for color grading but I am not sure how well it will hold up for HD material (i.e 1080p 23.98 etc).I could also use Color if that helps at all but I assume it does not matter and the monitor will only be good for SD work?
any help would be great
cheers -

Isn’t that model from the early 90’s or something?

damn apparently they have a dinosaur confidence monitor 🙂Maybe convincing them to rent or buy a Dreamcolor w/ BMD gear is in order!

Some of those Sony crt’s were really the best things to grade on, even for hd. The problem is finding one that still outputs well. A place I worked for still used them in 2008 but I found that that model was pushing towards the yellows, as if the blue tube was weakening.
Now I find it very hard to feel like I’m grading properly without a large plasma, as you really miss things and don’t get a sense of scale on a 17″, especially for NR.
That said the Flanders are very good.

I’d have to agree, and as soon as my eCinema is all milked-out, its where I will be looking first. Graded a drama series on one earlier this year — production company bought several more. It might have the feel of going away from the brand-name offerings, but in this case, its the dedicated sword-maker. Go after any size “rat” you like…. (err Kill Bill…)

You mean “Old Ben”? Ben Kenobi?
