What will you choose?

Considered the Autocue T-series monitor?
I’m testing one now. I’ll be writing an article, or perhaps blog a little. Don’t know yet how I’ll publish this.

So far it looks really, really good. You can select different gamma settings, color spaces (NTSC, PAL, REC709, D-Cine) and different white points like the usual 9300K, 6500K and a special D-Cine 6302K, or even user customized settings (need probe and stuff, but you get the idea).

I compared it to the old Panasonic I have here. The blacks are really black. Even though it’s LED LCD, it’s amazing.

Photos and more to come in the article. 🙂

Well, we had one over to test (yes , ok it was only the PVM, but still) and I cab say its a one man screen only.
If you have one client and can nail him into a chair, perfect.
But then you need a second one for yourself.
I would look for a used HD tube any time.
The time is not there yet…sadly.

I really like having one monitor for me & clients which I suppose is why I like my Plasma as it does not have off axis viewing issues like a LCD. D24’s and D32’s (especially) are just going away and Sony is not making more tubes. I am pretty psyched about the 300 series Panasonic Plasmas as step up from the 11Uk I have.

I also feel that grading a picture for projection on a direct view panel is not the right way to do things (I have done it) and having a calibrated DLP projector and a Panel is the way to go.

Gotta chime in with another vote for the Flanders, its just spot on compared to everything else in the sub $10K price range that I’ve seen. I have a panny plasma set up as a client monitor (calibrated to match the fsi by a local calibrator here in LA), and they are super close, but ultimately the Flanders is something I can “TRUST” when getting in to discussions with clients regarding particular shades of skin tones, and hue values in the deep shadows (the plasmas just can’t get perfect grayscale tracking in the deep shadows… yet…).
