I have been searching for some info on the lmd 2030w and came across this forum. I am testing the lmd 2030w monitor with a fcp system outputting sd via component declink card. (most of my work is done in this way and this system will likely not transition to HD.
There is terrible color bleeding around the edges of images as well as a terrible interlacing problem. I have tried many things to the fcp sequence – field order and de-interlacing but it does not correct the interlacing problem. I have also tried a CRT monitor and the interlacing problem disappears. Also I have tried the lmd 2050, the interlacing problem is still there but less noticeable. I have run the camera sony 370 dvcam into the monitor and there is no interlacing problem.
I am not certain what the source of the problem is. Is it the analogue signals inherent incompatibility with the lcd monitors and that I should find a good used crt reference monitor. Is it a problem with the declink card or some wrong settings?
You seemed to be happy with the sd quality on the lmd series monitors – what have you done?
