Thanks for all the input.

The inconsistancy of LCD’s is what I emphasized to them. (They are structural engineers.) No mater what they “see” their client, the ultimate enduser, will get a different result.

CRT’s were variable too, but not like LCD’s. Ah, progress. But then I guess every client’s TV was out of whack in the past. It’s nothing new.

I like the idea of them eyedropping a tinted color and seeing it is really gray. I’ve been on the phone with them since I posted this thread and I think they are going to trust me more and freak out less.

We’ll see.

Thanks again.

You know, that thought crossed my mind earlier.

I’m not sure what they could do with it. They are engineers and not video people. Are you thinking to show them how off their LCD screen is, or to allow them to correct their monitor as much a possible? Or both?

They don’t know what they are doing, or really looking at for that matter. And to some degree, I think they are overthinking a technical video, but then I want to do my best and I want them to be happy. I wouldn’t not pay attention to the details just because the use is technical presentation and computer based.

It wouldn’t hurt me to get re-acquanted with waveform monitors/vertorscopes and proper color bar use. I could then educate my clients as much as can be expected for the lay.
