Re: 16:9 Studio Monitor Options?
by Del Holford on Aug 15, 2008 at 3:01:38 pm

[Matthew Abourezk] "It sure would be nice to spend $800 for an Apple cinema display, instead of $3,300 for the low end Sony flat panel.

Obviously, there would be trade-offs in the savings, any thoughts are greatly appreciated."

Yes it would but as the thread has shown, that's probably not going to happen. I've got a 23" cinema display on my FCP and when playing full screen it looks good but I really don't trust the blacks. If you are going to go HD you have to see it correctly. If you don't buy a decent monitor (and several color critical monitors have been mentioned) you will never see it correctly. Having started HD in 2001, we have a Sony BVM 20 which cost us around $35,000 and an Ikegami 14 digital HD CRT that cost nearly that. Those are in the edit suites, not the tech cores. Fortunately the $12-20K eCinema and CineTal LCDs are being superceded by the JVC and HP/Dreamworks LCDs at much better price points. In HD you can't trade-off quality or you'll be hurting yourself and your clients.

The saga continues...
