Thank you Steve,

I appreciate all your advice on the matter. One thing I feel compelled to ask; Per your suggestion, I checked out the ebay “Sony PVM” listings and there are indeed several for only a few hundred dollars. That being the case, why have you not picked one up? I am assuming the primary purpose for these units is to simply calibrate color and then the editor would continue editing on any other monitor he wants.

Is there any “downside” about the PVM?

Thanks,

Ron

Thank you for the information Frank.

One other thing,

If both your computer monitor and previewing monitor/HDTV are displaying colors matching to each other, isn’t that a validation you’re color-accurate?

Thank you Steve.

It seems thousands of dollars are required for professional calibration. Just to summarize, to make sure I understand;

The idea is to use a professional, high-end monitor, rather than a typical HDTV, to balance out a happy-color-calibration-medium for all the possible color-settings consumer TVs, airing the video, may have?

Thanks,

Ron

Steve,

Please direct me to website(s) offering the monitors you’re suggesting.

Thanks,

Thank you for your reply.

My thinking is that my video is intended to air on television and therefor all the monitors/TVs will be CONSUMER. Therefor, if I use a high-end monitor, it may look good to me but it will remain an unknown as to how it looks to the average viewer.

Am I wrong to think this way?

Thanks,

Ron

Thank you for your input Graham. I appreciate your time and thoughts on the matter. I was just trying to avoid customizing and create one unified DVD.

Take care,

Ron
