Michael has good points. I personally still like three monitors. :-) I even have them configured different than most. Where our broadcast is one the center, right in front of me with the Tangent panel and the computer monitors on the sides. I much rather looking straight to the monitor than keep turning my neck when grading.
For the color correction DVD training video, we decided to showcase equipment that most Color users could afford.
We understand that a Sony BVM monitor (what I use for color grading at our studio) may be out of reach for most Color users, but didn't want to show one that you could get at Best Buy either. Also, we decided not to show a hardware HD waveform either, again a $12,000 piece of gear is out of reach for many and most likely they'll rely on Color's scopes.
The Sony Luma, or the LCDs from JVC and Panasonic are not the best for color grading, but they become the best if your budget is less than $10,000 for a monitor.
In the DVD, we discuss peripheral equipment in detail according to your budget and how Pro you want your Color suite to be...
