well i got it and it looks great , and one of the great things about the Sony BVM-14G5E, is that it has more controls than u need, in order to calibrate using the eye. Thanks

[Theo]

[Theo]

why does my heart say get the old sony rather than a new JVC ,,…..damn!

[Theo]

most Sony PVM’s have P22 phosphors some are EBU and most Sony BVM’s have SMPTE C phosphors and some EBU, I think the latest JVC’s use P22 Phophors but with different technology than Sony’s …..confused ? me too ,,, Im also trying to make a decision my thread “which monitor?”

Therefore I suppose Grade 1 is SMPTE C phosphors and Grade 2 is EBU, but becos most people now use LCD’s and eventually CRT TV’s will vanish, then the terminology of SMPTE C phosphors, and EBU wont mean anything in the future , when you will probably be grading on a LCD, bcos that what most people will be viewing, hence Sony’s decision to scrap CRT’s, …

so where does that leave us, does it matter if you get a JVC which is cheaper?….. I dont thinks so ,……do we know what were grading to? …..I dont thinks so everyones got a different TV LCD and CRT’s. So what the Standard?, …. I thinks colours may vary from one CRT to another but as long as it made for broadcast like a JVC, …then i suppose nobody can really argue whatss right and what wrong, as long as red is red and green is green and blue is blue, a new monitor from JVC has got to be better than an old Sony, ..????? i dont know?
