Re: colour grading

"A computer monitor, while often not accurate is at least generally consistent. "

Safe reply, and saves argument, but the truth is that computer monitors are built to display text, nice and sharp and contrasty, and have as many work-arounds built into them to make the picture look "good". More consistent, true, you can be guaranteed that what you're looking at is wrong, no adherence or reference to SMPTE/EBU phosphor reproduction, but at least they don't have all the feedback circuits continually adjusting the pic to compensate for the CRT. You don't want a monitor that "looks good", when its the truth you're after. What was the name of that Greek guy who used to wander the streets of Athens with a lantern looking for completely truthful man? Odds on the success rate?
