Re: HD Monitoring

[Bob Zelin] "simple answer. Your dealer wants you to spend $8000. Is the CineTal a great monitor. You bet your ass it is. Do you want to spend $8000 - ABSOLUTELY NO"

Sorry bob,

Dead wrong on this one for a highend workflow. "JVC DTV24L3DY, or DU - and the Panasonic BT-LH2550. "

While good for many uses, I will say that the tools built into the Cinetal Cinemage display take that display to the next level beyond the mainstream. Having LUT building and support, active / dynamic control of the display for calibration via ethernet, Still store, Quad inputs (Dual Stereo or Dual Dual Link monitoring also) and a full OmniTek waveform and vectorscope built in will actually cost less that upgrade the 2550 pr JVC display by the time you end up adding digital scopes and the LUT creation add-on package.

Currently if you are finishing anything in DCI the Cinetal Cinemage supports DCI's XYZ colorspace which is not available on either of the other displays, nor are the color profiles modifiable like they are on the Cinemage.
